It's the latter I'm afraid, we had the same problem from their youngest daughter when we first moved in. The Son actually did start going to nursery, then after a couple of weeks stopped. i assume he was kicked out for being a pain in the a@#$

Its probably more to do with the kid not being potty trained.  I dont think they kick them out for being a holes, well they didnt kick out my 5 year old lol, and he can be an arse.

You will always get some noise from kids, and it should be expected. But when they start constantly slamming doors, running up and down the stairs at 2.30AM in the morning, screaming and shouting non stop. Then things are seriously out of control, and it is questionable whether they should be taken into care as the parents blatantly hasn't got a clue.

I get you dont like kids.  But I think your being unfair.

I dont want to hear people sitting in their garden, playing music even just slightly and talking during the summer months, I dont want to hear people sitting in their cars outside the front of my house,  I dont want to hear people chatting outside their front door loudly.

When I'm on nights I dont want to hear car traffic, I dont want to hear school kids talking as they go to school.

But the fact remains that these are day to day noises, we dont all like them and sometimes its a pain, but the world doesnt revolve around you.

What hoody describes is right, he is right to be pissed off, and I think it doesnt matter if its kids or adults, its a noise that should not be happening and it just happens to be an adult not looking after their kids.

How do you know kids disturb people because they are awake at 8PM, I know that comment was a dig at me, you seem to have a big problem with children, if you dont like kids then I suggest you move to the mountains or something, because at the end of the day people aint going to stop having kids because YOU dont like them.

NO I did not say it was alright for kids to scream and shout till 8PM AT ALL. 

I never said it was alright for kids to scream at anytime of the day, what I ment was that its normal to get noise from kids from time to time, they fall over and hurt themselves, they argue with each other, they make noises without realising that it disturbing other people, what out of order is when parents dont do anything about it.

Dont twist my word Joanna and take your own advice get over yourseld and dont keep taking every oppurtunity to dig, as for you love kids, nah sorry im not convinced.

Maybe I dont word things as well as I should, but what I meant by that is at 8pm kids should be in bed asleep, or atleast in bed, not running around and/or making a noise, or just up in general.  My kids go to bed at 7pm or at the latest 8pm, my daughter is sometimes allowed to watch a dancing program on the promise that theres no tv in bed and its straight to sleep.

Also as you probably know no matter how good or bad a parent is, what kids do is sometimes out of the control of the parents as they are doing it, and can only be sorted out when they are caught in the act, and sometimes you cannot reason with younger children.

My nieghbours on the left who are brilliant, their daughter was screaming for ages every night for a week, I didnt get the humph or storm round their or even ask what was up, eventually my nieghbours told me why ( and it was a very serious reason ) it was happening and I was totally fine with that.

I dont think I am being nasty, this is the second time you have gone on about kids to me, I more or less ignored you the first time, I dont think you have patience with kids, I was the same years ago.

Re: After neighbours from hell, I'm now oversensitive to noise :(

I know exactrly what you mean, i too listen out for small noises and have become very focused on noises. It's all a side effect of having lived beside NN and the new crowd are starting to play up  a bit more  now but its more the noisy  sex at the moment.

Re: After neighbours from hell, I'm now oversensitive to noise :(

I agree about the kid thing unfortunately. It's a really difficult situation to be in-I don't have children and therefore cannot possibly understand how difficult it is to raise one, but at the same time I'm absolutely sick of having to listen to other people's kids. One of my main sources of anxiety with my NN's is their screaming devil child that will have as many as 25 tantrums a day (and I've logged it). My NN's kid is two, and yet they play with it past 10.30 at night, and at weekends, like today, I can hear the kid from 7.30am till 9.30pm. I've tried to ask them to be mindful of it, but the response that I got is that it is their basic human right to play with their child and I should just accept it. I personally feel that keeping the child up until that time of night is irresponsible parenting, but apparently I'm not allowed to say that... It's a very frustrating situation to be in as I don't wish to cause any issues, but it's about time some parents were made to accept responsibility for the amount of noise their child produces when it's that excessive...
