Hearing Crying and Screaming Children Outside Drives Me Nuts

Tweet

The kids around here are so wild and loud. Housing has sent a notice around reminding families that we have a "quiet time" here from 10p. to 8a. each night. The kids were sometimes up and still out as late as 12:30a. and not necessarily just on the weekends. Every night. Ugh! It gets old. Screeching and screaming kids. And when they would add crying to it I felt so bad. I couldn't just jump up and run out to see if the poor child was alright. So it would cause me some anxiety. Usually my grandson would hear them too and he would go out and check but not always. Do you feel that way if you hear kids crying? Their parents are never around. Could be in a drug induced super somewhere. (Did you hear about the woman who recently went off on a cruise and left her two toddlers and two older kids at home?) Gheez! What a world we live in. You'd think at age 74 my hearing would be less acute but no, no it seems better than when I was younger.
