my neighbours kids never stop screaming!!! Driving me insane

And you sound like any parent with a bratty kid. Tie your tubes, do world a favor.

Why don't you get a life and grow up! I hope you get noise sensitivity .

sorry i replied to the wrong person . i meant the one who is trying to act self righteous wishing the kid would scream until someone's hair would fall out .

I just moved into a new nicer apartment with my boyfriend out of the "ghetto" because that was our first apartment because we are in our 20s. I expected those bad child behaviors in the ghetto but when you pay $1000 and over a month you expect people to hold themselves to a higher standard. I don't know where everyone in this thread comes from but I come from a suburban family that would murder me if I acted like a vagrant. I totally agree with OP. I just visited my Father for Easter and we went to a movie, people brought BABIES and toddlers to a movie. Yelling the ENTIRE time. My Father was so furious we moved our seats and we still couldn't enjoy the movie. My boyfriend worked at a movie theater when he was a teen before his career and he told me that they would not allow babies into a theater. People will have an issue right, you can go wherever you'd like with your child? You cannot disturb other people's lives and not take responsibility. My FATHER said loudly in the theater that he never took me into a movie at that age. But then again my family actually has respect for people so I guess that is rare.

The people below me have a child that RUNS back and forth, they SCREAM at him, they are lazy, they NEVER take the kid out and involve him in activities like my family did for me so he curses and is uneducated. Just like them. sometimes they don't even take him to school.

One guy that works for the apartment complex actually stopped me the one day and asked me about them. HE told me to call the police after 10pm. You WILL be stopped once neighbors ban together about your noise. Children just don't randomly scream.

Also race is not an issue. The family downstairs is a Caucasian woman that appears to do hard drugs, an African American girl about my age that was in jail, and the child is Caucasian. I am Puerto Rican and African American, my boyfriend is from Munich, Germany.

It isn't our fault that you are not smart enough to figure out why your child is screaming.

HAHAHAHA LOL oh my gosh HAHAHA married_chic you are so funny; I can tell you absolutely have NO idea what you're talking about. Yes, it's true...have kids first, and then talk. Would you take legal advice from a lawyer who studied but doesn't practice law? Would you allow a surgeon to work on your heart and cut you open because she has studied medicine but not practiced? No, of course not. So what makes you think you have a clue? Honestly, trust me...if you do ever have a baby in your home, I think you'll get it. I'd like to see your routines and making sure to give them plenty attention and all that work out as well as you write. Oh yes sure, you should have a child just to prove to all of us that you know what your talking about...GOOD LUCK :) haha; you are so funny I am in tears reading your post again. It's hilarious.

I don't know, I baby sat, I have dogs, I've taught my dog not to bark... so why not teach kids control and not to scream at the top of their lungs at 9:30 at night... It is rude, and a parent should step in and explain that it is unacceptable behavior.

Hear or here? Spelling please

This is the soundest advice I have heard. Yes, I do have children of my own.

I have the same problem here. Obviously their parents can't teach them as we could hear the parents yelling "shut up" all the time.
I wonder if there's a magic thing can make them quiet. Children can play can be noisy but not screaming all the time! You can hear from the voice that child screams just because they didn't get what they want. Generally I just don't understand how some parents don't know a single thing about raising children and at the same time they have a dozen of them!

Hi we are nice people but our neighbours child is always screaming meet parents and seams nice but now affecting me and hubby at shear house leamington road broadway as always screaming most of time of day but really bad at moment I hate living here as a shame as been hear hear 11 years but driving us. Made at moment x

I know what you mean I have nephew and niece and I love them but my sister brought them up well I understand children can be hard terrible 2 lol But has been non stop now for 3 years and she gets louder I love children but not fair know it's 3 4 time a day if they are home and getting harder with screaming all the time x

I agree 100%. It is disturbing the peace. They don't want the brats to play inside so the parent will not have to hear it. Send them out so the neighbor has to. Sad bunch of overbred no good for anything.

While that's fine that kids scream "as a dose of reality" but how about this one: I work from home and need to record audio ... and it is audible when these kids are screaming. We've tried giving them the hint. There is no fixing stupid (parents). As a result, I bought the loudest whistle I could find and I reciprocate with some sonic goodness just to give balance. And the one's I'm talking about.. ARE brats. They are doing it intentionally and the parents are little white trashbags who can't control their damn kids. Stop being so sensitive and try living through it when it costs you work time. Then you'd change your "how dare you" attitude to the poster you responded to. Unfortunately, some of them have not made their case with much acumen but the screaming... it knows no intellect... so it doesn't really matter if we're able to pass a course or not. We only have to know right from wrong. My .02.

Well stated. Period.

Great response!!!! You are right. If people just have to have kids then they should take responsibility for them and "parent them". Don't expect everyone else to suffer because you chose to have kids. It's just not fair. Would it be fair for me to blast my stereo because I'm hard of hearing? No, absolutely not!!! I have to have respect for the people around me.
