If the kid misbehaves, he or she should be punished. Suppose you're married, have a child or children, and he, she, or they misbehave but you didn't make them misbehave and you get clobbered for being innocent. Would you want that?
So think about what I told you.
I don't care how old this post is, your reply is disgusting. Not everyone has the choice to be picky about where they live and i'm absolutely certain that just because some mothers and fathers cannot raise their kids PROPERLY, that someone else should have to move.
There are far, far too many children who scream these days for no good reason and i am sick and tired of it. Kids make noise, we get it. I live around kids, i like them, they play and act like normal children but i have been around kids who seem to have had seriously bad parenting. It's this simple OTHER PEOPLE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS KIND OF NONSENSE. Just as someone with children gets certain allowances, other people require the same. I get up early and i am damn sure i would be going off my head if i couldn't get sleep. What about people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, serious illness, bereavement etc? Are they all supposed to put up with that kind of nonsense? That one poster who is saying they were having crying fits? That's when it has become really bad, that is stress and anxiety. It isn't fair.
Also, yes, people should take others' advice regarding disciplining their kids if their kids are acting like animals. It isn't normal and it's not acceptable. I think most of these wailing kids need their diets sorted out, most of the time i just assume they must be attention seeking, not once did i act like that as a child. I have taught children at nursery and they would have some tantrums but they were all taught to be respectful and were lovely kids. Polite and kind and we even had one little girl who would clean up after her dinner. There is no excuse for this behaviour. Uneducated parents who need to step up when it comes to taking care of their kids. It is NOT an easy task but you brought them into the world and expecting other people who are trying to do basic things like relax and sleep, to deal with that kind of noise day in and day out is completely absurd.
Did you mean "here"??????
I agree, neighbours have a right to a peaceful backyard. Take the kids to the park, let them blow out their lungs there. Go for a hike. Walk the 1/2 mile home from school. Might help with obesity, too.
Everyone knows their "rights" and demand to exercise them, but have no respect for anyone else's rights.
