Since after my father died, my neighbors start gathering in front of our house from morning till evening talking anything under the sun. Even in the wee hours. One day i complained in a nice way that i still have work tomorrow and my son still has a school and its time to sleep also. Then they say "ok" but one ok is not enough i have to look in the window again to beg them to lower their voice coz we here like to sleep coz we still have some obligations tomorrow. These never happen once but several times already. They always gather in front of our house and talk and talk and laughing and laughing even if im begging them already to lower their voice. there are some thou understand but there are some especially the young generations could not understand they even laugh and create a story more just to pissed me off. One day i was totally pissed off and wanted to confront them and they all run and laughed so hard. i was very angry coz they could not understand that its already passed the hour and almost midnight. Now tell me am i a bad person on telling those people infront our house to be in silence so we can sleep?

Hello friend, No you are not a bad person. Please don't blame yourself. I think you called the police for support. It is a small advice for me. Have a nice day.

You have the right to impose things because they are inside your property. Everyone has the right to have enough rest and sleep. Maybe you can ask the help of the proper authority to help you with your problem. As to your question if you are a bad person because who have done the right thing. Think again, which is worse? The act of those people who keep on disturbing you or your act against them because they can not be told in a nice way?

No, you're not a bad person and I think it's very inconsiderate of these people to disturb your peace and sleep in this way. I'm not sure what the answer is to make them go and talk elsewhere though.

No of course you're not! You were nice enough to ask them several times to keep it quiet. Where I come from we would have called the police allready. They can give you a fine for making too much noise after 10 pm.
