Complaning neighbours...!!!!!

Oh!Some neighbors are like that.They can enjoy things if their kids do it and complain if others kids do the same thing.Probably that is out of jealousy more.Did she have any kids?If no,then it is purely of jealousy.When ready to live in an apartment,people should learn some tolerance and have nice relationship with the neighbors.I think she lacks both the qualities.Best thing you can do is,try to make friend of her.Cheers!

Well, there are reasonable expectations on both sides and your kids should play quietly in the house for a number of reasons, but she should also have realistic expectations about her neighbors and noise. Is it possible for the kids to play outdoors? And just what kind of noise and play are we talking about? Are they wrestling and roughhousing or just sitting and playing games? Are they running around and shrieking? How old are your children?

I think you are in the right. As long as your kids aren't be excessively noisy and screaming and whatnot, I don't see what the problem is. Does she not want your kids to be kids? Are the walls/floor in your place so thin that she can hear everything that happens in your place?

lolzzz!!seems like the lady is a psycho!!!she gt to admit that kids are kids!!!THE BEST WAY IS dnt you keep on adjusting onli!!!when ever she complains like that just say oke i will see,,and do nothing!!she will be fed up soon lolzzzzzz!!!!! kids will be kids!!!they gt to be playing !!!especially when they are too,,tell that aunti whyy too serious!!!heheh! you cant ever stop kids playing !!!they will invent new ways or the other!!!so tell that aunti!!kids will play what so ever!!!and tell that aunti to not to irritae too!!!

My kind suggestion - Some one feel good when kids are around. But some feels really annoying. Why don't you take your kids to the park in the evening and amke yourself relaxed too? If possible give some gifts to the neigbour when you come after your shopping and that too through your kids. The neighbour may get convinced. When I read this I really remember denice, the menace. Be freindly as much as possible otherwise you need to have your kids safe from neigbours.

Kids will be kids and need to be able to enjoy their childhood. It's quite funny because I live in a house and next to me I have and apartment that it's very small and only 3 families live there. Well I would always hear this lady complaining to their neighbors on how their children would make so much noise and that she should take them to a park or something because they always stayed around(there's not much they can do if the apartment is small and not everything belongs to the woman). Well months passed and it was always the same thing, she would always complain to them. I didn't mind the kids, they were adorable and it was not something you couldn't stand or you would get distracted from. For a few months that lady disappeared and only her sister would come home since they lived together. Well, the kids continued playing and the mother was happy because the lady wouldn't complain every 2 seconds about their children playing with their barbies outside. We later find out that the lady had twins, so now not only does she have to take care of a kid, but two! I think it happened for a reason. Now let's see who she complains to if she is the one who needs to take care of her two little kids, which they're gorgeous by the way. :) So just let your kids do what they normally do, it is not harming anyone. That lady needs to deal with it or she shouldn't of had moved in a place were they have kids. Goodluck.

Hello, well, I also have kids and I totally understand what you have been through now. It is hard when you live with someone doesn't like kids. If your kids love to play then you should let them know that don't make too much noisy and no jumping, so the ** lady won't come up again. I know they will listen to you. Does your house has carpet? if so then it will reduce noisy tho. Another thing, if she complains too much like this, why dont she goes to do something else outside the house. Homework can be done at the library or so. If this happen to me, then I will tell her that they are just a kid and that's how kids are. I can't stop them and this is the best I can do. If she doesn't like it then she can move out tho... lolz. well, it is hard for both of you now... but you have to tell her this time and that time, they will be home and she doesn't like it then she can avoid this hour. And you can tell her, at night you will try to keep them down as much as possible.

I suppose its ok if they do it I guess . I am sorry really . There is a differnce of the kids are acting up I understand . Sometimes, people make it so impossible . I used to live next door growing up to law breaking family and it was just so bad . Then when I got my first apartment They let their kids play in my yard, blast music, fight , and just carry on . There was no peace at all ! You know a double you share, and well for xmas and all holidays they put up there light and thing all over mine , and ebough was enough . The nerve of some people . Fianally when bought this house there is peace and the people are cool for the most part. There is this older man who complains on my yard and how I dont upket or how my flowers could be better . But that is all!

First of all I would find out about what the noise bylaw is in your area. She can't tell you to keep them quite before that time is up. I think that she is being very unreasonable, they are children and they have the right to play just as she has the right to breath. I am assuming that you are renting and if that is the case, you might want to talk to you landlord about the issue. She doesn't have the right to tell you not to make noise after 8am, if she wants to sleep in, she should wear ear plugs. I think that you have every right to live comfortably and she has NO right to make your living situation hard. It seems to me that this lady is not being reasonable and it might be time to see about moving into a place that is better suited to your needs or seeing if your landlord would be willing to let you and this grumpy lady, switch floors. Maybe that might work. Good luck, I really hope that things work out for you. As a mom who has two little children of my own, I know how hard it is to keep the quiet and entertained at the same time, this lady obviously doesn't have children of her own, and if she does I REALLY pitty them and the lack of childhood they must have had growing up with her as a mother. Happy mylotting.

Our neighbor besides us is our problem too. Everyday their are fighting with her wife and what I hate about it they involving their neighborhood even if their are not interfering with their life. Since her wife arrived from abroad and it is the reason why husband starting a dispute because he said their neighborhood ruined their life and pushing her wife to work abroad. Sometimes we can't bear the noise of them sometimes we are nervous that they will kill each other. They very scandalous and very noisy they don't choose the time they going to fight sometimes it is very early in the morning or in the late night.

Wow that is a bit excessive that she is coming by. Are your kids like really young? She has to understand that you have children and of course they are going to make noise. Maybe during night time hours have them do quiet projects and during the day well sorry. There should be no complaining as it is in the middle of the day and of course they are going to make noises around that time. She can't have quiet all the time. I have noisy neighbors myself but I tend to try to tune them out when I can if its late at night I due tend to get annoyed and will make some type of noise from downstairs to inform them hey ur being to noisy. Like they are making noise at 2 o'clock in the morning when just about everyone is asleep. So during the day it is not a bother and it shouldn't be like that. Is she an elderly lady also? Ugh cause I remember living by an elderly lady and one time she was bugging us saying we were being too noisy and even one time called the cops on us.

There is an saying in china" faraway relatives is not better than the nearby neighbours," and I kind of support this piont. Your neghbours did brings lots of trouble to you and your family, and it made you upset. While I suggest you communicate with each other well and talk about your upsetion to them, and I guess they could make some good change.

Well kids will just be kids. They will be noisy and all that.But if they do it all the time as in they do it in the middle of the night, then they are to blame. But who cares they are kids.

I also face this situation not exactly but some what different. They were living just behind my house they always complaint me to owners who are owned that house to silly reasons. Because of them only we shifted my house to another place. I didn't saw such type of people in my whole life. It was very horrible.

Hi Neha, I think you gave in the first time so she thinks you can be bullied everytime. Granted that in an apartment we have to think of others too and kids can be really noisy specially when they are thumping real hard, the people on the floor below you can get disturbed but there is a line that needs to be drawn between being rude and unnecessarily accommodative. I think you have been unnecessarily accommodative…next time she comes up (as I am sure she will), do tell her politely that while you will do your best to rein in your kids, however kids being kids, they will continue playing and enjoying themselves. You can also say that you would stop the kids from thumping or making very loud noises but beyond that, they need their freedom too! BTW…is she your landlady?

I can understand your frustration but I can also understand your neighbor's too. My first apartment was on the ground floor and the people above me had kids who sometimes sounded like they were a herd of elephants. On the other hand, I'm a mother...although my kids are grown now...so I agree that your kids should be allowed to play. The only solution to this problem is to try to make friends with your neighbor and see if the two of you can agree on a schedule where the kids can be free to make noise without bothering her. Make a treat and either invite her up to your place or stop by her door and give it to her. Maybe if she feels that you really are trying to be considerate, she will be more understanding.

Some people will do all sorts of things, so that they feel happiness in our sadness.. when you scold your children in front of him/her, they will feel much happy, when they are alone.... They recall this incident, and they feel happy, and also think what are all the ways they can give you trouble,,,, so, next time when she comes and complaints your children, you don't listen to her and simply do your work... Next time she will not come......

I know how you feel. You actually does not do anything wrong. I would say your neighbour is too fussy. I can see you are doing your best to not disturb your neighbour. Your kids can play their toys and run in the house. You just might sure they are playing at the right time, not late at night or mid night. If your neighbour can not concerntrate, that is her problem. Maybe you can try talk to your management office of your flat regarding this issue.

Let me say my opinion. You should tell her to get lost. It's your house. And your kids are kids and kids will be kids. They'll make noise and play and if she is having a problem with it, then she should be the one going out! Your kids never did anything beyond your apartment then why should you worry?

I have heard house owners being troublesome...neighbours??? I think you can listen to her in some cases like noise after 10 in the night but all the time if she has a problem with you, then give her back once. She can't be doing this often. The entire flat is not hers??? Just be keen on what she does everyday...point out a few things that you don't like about her...keep nagging her. Then may be she will understand how she treated you. Try finding fault with her and see if she is able to correct herself...If her torture is increasing...then just shut your ears and do as you wish.
