life in an upstairs apartment

Tweet

I am constantly trying to curb my little one's enthusiasm early in the morning when he gets excited and wants to jump or hop - its noisy up here - must be noisy downstairs - we don't always have neighbors as most people use these condos as vacation - we get a discount for being here more long term. Someone did just buy downstairs and not sure how often they're here. I keep thinking - mostly because my husband says it so often, that we'll be kicked out. I have to have faith my landlady would warn us. My husband gets irritated and says if we get kicked out he's not even going to bother getting a new place we'll live on the streets or in an extended stay hotel. He's just irritated. When single he liked quiet and lived in quiet. He even listens to music - and he listens to a variety - from country, pop, sinatra, elvis - even metal - but softly. Now me, I listen to the tv rather loudly - I can't understand the words - I can hear when the music gets way too loud, and turn it lower then. I do use captions when I can but not always available and sometimes I'm in the kitchen - but I listen to it softly early in the morning and late at night. I think Daniel is a bit overwhelmed with me listening to the tv loudly and Robbie stomping around having fun. Have you ever been in the lower apartment with kids overhead running around or deaf neighbors?
