naughty neighbours knock on wall when baby cries

[traceyn]

my single young neighbour bangs on the wall when my baby cries, which is rarely
Happened again this morning laid dd on bed for 5 mins whilst having bath, 5.5 months, she decided to have a little grumble about being left. Had to get out of the bath to pick dd up to stop her crying because my neighbour tried to knock the wall down !, just imagine if dd had colic what would she do then ?. (I did'nt knock on the wall when she brought someone home the other night !)

i bet you will next time

Bloody tosser! My Gran had a woman living below her like that when she had my mum. This bitch used to bang on the ceiling with a broom and in the end, my gran's nerves got soooo bad, they had to move! Its tense enough when a baby is crying without neighbours adding to the mix!! I'd bang on the door when she's having a shag and ruin it for her! ha ha ha!

silly cow. Is she banging because she is pissed off with the noise or does she think you haven't noticed and that she's doing you a favour by bringing your attention to it?

Bithch . Shout ' Wait till you have kids!'
very loudly.

Yeah that'll help - bet the baby stops crying straight away Ignore her and keep smiling

dont start me on our neighbour, suffice to say that DD1 3.5 yo has learnt to say 'she's just an old bitch'

Maybe after her activities the other night, she'll have a colicky baby in 9 months time?? Put a pair of ear plugs through her letter box, with a note to tell her she can use them if your baby cries, and say you've got some for when she decides to have loud sex.

Put a note under the door asking her if she really believes that you would leave your baby to cry if you had the solution to stop him crying.

And add at the end that is better to hear a crying baby than a moaning woman having sex. I bet that makes her stop.

bang back, using the same sequence of bangs, that'll stop em

had to write 'ignore her' on a big piece of paper yesterday and stick it up in the kitchen for DP - he is not a violent person but im afraid hes going to smash her face in some day and then who'll make my supper?

Oh dear I am sorry tracey Nasty neighbours are extra upsetting when you have a young baby I think

If it was me I would go round and say "I heard you knocking, was there some problem?" and probably have a stand up row on the street but I am very confrontational about this sort of nastiness

lol at claremow

oh invite her round. if she's a tosser tell her to move, if she isn't she'll be a good neighbour

You can't stop babies from crying FGS!

yes, with FandZ on this actually

she is really pissing me off, should i say something ?

When dd1 was little, I had a neighbour who regularly came and knocked on my door in the morning (or more often just walked in ) and she would ask in all earnestness "did you know your baby was crying for 43 minutes last night?"

She genuinely thought that she could hear it from three doors away, and I could not when said baby was crying IN MY EAR!

How rude.
Tell her to keep her own 'cries' down.

clairemow - earplugs, what a good idea !

only if your sober

But yes, ask her what the problem is. Give here a chance to air her grievance and then tell her the only reasonable thing you can be is a loving mother and even that won;t stop a baby crying at times. Say your sorry, but this is life and that you hope she will have more understanding neighbours if or when she has a child.

i would do what claremow says - the note and the earplugs!

ignorant Socci, to be fair

i get on well with my other neightbours, they actually speak and don't just turn their noses up, and they say that they can't hear dd.

i'm with monkeytrousers. you should say something. it's really the fault of the walls, not the baby. as you will make clear when you point out that you politely refrain from knocking the wall when you hear her having sex.

Socci, are you Nikki's Mum?
