Dealing with a noisy neighbor

[PugnacAutMortem]

Glad you acknowledge it. You want your kids to act like shits, move somewhere they don't impose on their neighbors. If the kids weren't making noise, I suppose the neighbor wouldn't turn his music up. Pretty simple cause and effect.

I would bet a whole bunch of dollars your definition of kids acting like shits is WAY off base. I can guarantee that you don't have any little kids of your own, let alone a little boy. It's asshats like you who can't tell the difference between kids being little shits and them just being little kids. Now don't get me wrong, all little boys are little shits sometimes (my boy included). But when people like you start categorizing kids playing as them being little shits, that's where you become completely wrong. Frankly, your opinion on any kid related matters is going to be inaccurate, uninformed, and pretty much flat out stupid, and you should keep said opinions to yourself.

Thanks for all the advice, both positive and negative. We have documented many cases but recording the sounds doesnt come through on camera because its such a low vibration. Ive written a notice to my HOA formally filing a complaint and Ive asked several board members about what they can do and they just say call the cops. Ive tried to be diplomatic about it but I guess its time for the kid gloves to come off.

To those who say just shut up my kids, I openly invite you over to my house to see how well that works. You have to remember, little kids have lots of energy and strong impulses that includes screaming, crying, laughing and yelling...you all have done it before just ask your moms.

Just wow... sad to see people like this are on the forum. I know the OP asked for "advice" on how to deal with the problem, BUT he did not ask for his children to be called foul names and for the record...NO, blaring loud music does not equal the noise caused by children. I've been the "other" neighbor where people's children were just being children. They are sometimes loud and sometimes parents don't care which causes it to get a bit excessive. I've taken the responsible route and spoke with the parents who were actually quite nice about it - problem solved-. As I didn't expect the noise to come to a complete halt, I understood it is important to let kids be kids. I'm sure the OP and his wife have talked about making an effort to help curb any issues on their end. If people like you can't be respectful when referring to children, I hope pancreatic cancer finds you rather swiftly. That also goes for anyone else badmouthing fellow forum member's children.

Perhaps you should take your own advice, especially since you don't know the level of noise the kids create or what the other guys hears. Likewsie I'm sure you don't know the level of noise your own kid creates on a plane, in a restaurant, or anywhere else in public, too, since you likely suffer from breeder deafness (as a nice complement to your blindness to cause and effect). So no, I don't think I'll keep my opinions to myself.

I'm not a kid hater .. really I'm not ....


But any noise out of a kid your not related to .. is annoying. ( unless it is a 1 and under's laugh... who can't smile at that?)

I'm just sayin.....

Equally sad to see folks like you that simply couldn't care less how much noise is made when "sometimes parents don't care which causes it to get a bit excessive." You sound a bit like a helicopter parent that simply could not ever consider the fact that not everybody wants to hear loud children or that their kids could do no wrong. OP has clearly shown who is in control of the situation with the statement "To those who say just shut up my kids, I openly invite you over to my house to see how well that works. You have to remember, little kids have lots of energy and strong impulses that includes screaming, crying, laughing and yelling..."

Soooo....it's OK to wish pancreatic cancer on a person but not ok to call kids "little shits?" Simply amazing.

We have a family about 60 yards down the street with at least 2 children who are permanent residents and then he has 3 more from previous hook-ups that will show up for days on end. These kids (brats? Maybe.) are the loudest noise polluters for miles around. They make it nearly unbearable to hang outside during the summer evenings. It is a quiet neighborhood save for the screaming. The parents are right there with them, but are completely oblivious to the noise level they produce. It is beyond annoying, but it is not illegal, just rude.



I wish they would rent elsewhere so the rest of us home owners could enjoy the neighborhood peace and quiet like we did before they moved in. However, I would not ever blame the kids as they are just doing whatever their parents let them do. Typical parenting of these days; never say no, never discipline, let the kids decide what they do, or eat, or say. My kids are angels no matter what, and you're the asshole.


I would say to the OP, deal with it unless the neighbor is breaking a law. Make friends with him if at all possible, because he will likely put up with more of your shit, while subjecting you to less of his.

Yep. I have no room for people who have no respect for other people's chldren. Also, let me add, children will act out and be disruptive as long as the parents allow it...whether they care or not. The issue is with the parent, not the children, so take up the gripe with the responsible party.
