Dealing with a noisy neighbor

[funkymonkey1111]

In an effort to avoid personal attacks over an issue I hold dear to my heart (children), I'll leave this comment.

It's apparent there are several members with a genuine dislike, possibly even hatred for children. Maybe they were born that way, maybe it's because no woman will let them impregnate them, who knows. I don't like kids who are bratty any more than the next guy, but there is a big difference in bratty kids, and kids just being kids. Some of you have even gone as far to state you dislike anything coming out of childrens mouths or something to that effect. Simply amazing!

Not one person in this thread has brought up hate other than those defending the children's perspective. Isn't that telling--any question--any position at all that the kids' noise might be off-putting to someone else is reacted to with this sort of vitriol--sorta the way the hysterical anti-gunners react to things.

Its conversations like these that make me truly appreciate this forum and the wide diversity of the personalities on it!

Hence the word possibly....

Man I would hate raising my 3 year old in a townhouse were on 50 acres and I feel like even that's too tight of a space

Agreed, I'm in one now and hoping to get in a house soon!

Just because you forgot to use birth control doesn't mean the rest of the world has to be punished for it. Seriously, little noises here and there are to be tolerated - but anything more than an occasional yell or scream is too damn much. Inside voice vs. outside voice. Read "Special Eds" comment over and over again until you get it.

Now to cut off the peanut gallery. Yes, I am an ass. No, I don't hate kids. In fact I love kids so much that I feel it is important that they learn respect for others, what is right from wrong, and when to be loud and when to be quiet. It will serve them well as they mature and go out into the real world -- where they don't get trophy's just for showing up./

Never said kids did. So you think 45 minutes to 2 hours of music with wall shaking bass is fair to do in exchange for a minute or two of children laughing and playing loudly?

Some people just do noise better...

It's like war.... You bomb me, I nuke you. War over.
