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

know the feeling neighbours kid screams at 6am like he has learning difficulties but dont and yells swears. then all day another lot near me have a kid who runs up and down past my window going Errr urgghh bouncing a ball on the wall. I personally want to stick hima slingshot on a boat and say to the lot of them sink.! yeh great world...and u ask them to be quiet cos u come out of hospital their response is stuff you and shut the windows. 2am parties scottish guy fat ugly dared to call me ugly I am slim ..and his face is like a mangled old sock so yeh kinda rich when hes a scremaing larger lout lol!

I play music just loud enough to drawn them out, i believe you mind focuses on the radio rather than the screaming kids, give it a try it worked for me........gl

You people like to suppose things, don't you.

Suppose the brats don't actually live next door and that neither parent has worked a day in their lives? No, I don't suppose, I know for a fact.

That is interesting because I am 50 years old, and have lived all over the US. I never recall children screaming for hours on end, either as a child or in roughly 30 years as an adult,, like the children do today. When I was a child while we would play outside for 5-8 hours, we did NOT scream constantly for those 5-8 hours like kids today do.

I have a cousin and nephew with autism, my uncle learned about this diagnosis and did not put my cousin in the position to be disruptive same as my brother and nephew yes they require a lot of care and consideration but it's still the parents responsibility to raise the child not the neighbors and this diagnosis is not an excuse to not parent, having a family history of autism I understand the challenges this presents but it's all the more reason for the parent to be consistent and avoid events and circumstances that cause the child to become overwhelmed and yes my uncle and brother have missed things they wanted to go to for their child's well being they didn't just allow bad behavior and blame it on autism. It's a real diagnosis I just don't like it being pegged as an excuse not to parent and the ones who have an autistic child I applaud them being responsible informed parents

Its obvious that you are one of THOSE moms who 1. Thinks your kids are little angels who never do anything wrong. 2. Think your kids rights trump everyone elses. 3. Think the whole world revolves around YOUR children.

We know you love your kids, every parent does. But geez get some perspective. Screaming kids DO ANNOY other people. They are not ours and we cannot shut it out like you do.

Now my next door neighbor has acquired 2 dogs which she leaves outside. What little sleep I get is in short segments in between the bursts of barking at 3,4,5 a.m...just when i finally doze off---WOOF...WOOFWOOFWOOF...WOOFWOOF. The 2 dogs periodically have fights: these sound as if throats are being ripped out but apparently both survive them. Another added joy is that these dogs usually keep up their noise long enough to get the OTHER dogs that live nearby started up too...the basset across the street...the small yappy pooch on the corner...canine concert at 3:30 a.m. Laughably, the dogs' owner is the same person who complained to us earlier about the kids screaming! At least they don't do it in the middle of the night!
Today I have been treated to the nauseating fried-greasy-meat/lighter fluid smell blowing directly into my living room from the Habitat house behind me. Constant loud screaming, child and adult. This has gone on all day and will probably prove to be an all-night Eid festival. I am all for religion and family but i do NOT support having someone else's thrust upon me. My hair smells like burned goat meat. I am not a vegan but what if I was? Would I have to endure this meat smell that is so thick I can nearly SEE it? Where are my rights? ---Was going to work in my backyard but could not face dogs barking (anytime I so much as open the back door), the loud screaming, the gagging fumes. Not a thing I can do about any of this. AND the above-described screaming kids are still at it. Their long-absent father has made an appearance, and oddly enough they are noticeably better behaved. Spend a lot more time inside rather than wandering around aimlessly with nothing other to do than taunt/poke each other. Coincidence?

kids are idiots.

I have bent over BACKWARDS to try to resolve this issue with my neighbors regarding teir five year old spoiled princess who screams at least 5-30 minutes at a time as if she is being tortured whenever she plays with her father. Today I had it... I told the father to quiet her down and then I told the kid to quiet down and he went off verbally on me, telling me, "LAdy, don't talk to MY kid that way!" Reese's screaming gives me MIGRAINES even IN my own home. Am I not allowed to be well and happy IN my own home with all the doors and windows shut? The cops came out... they told me she doesn't have a mark on her. Well at least now I know she's NOT being abused... it will be easier to try to ignore the little brat till she hopefully outgrows it.... but the father is just a teenager in an adult's body.... drummer, skateboard ramps, barbells all taking up space in his garage that they should be parking a vehicle in. He's a selfish clod who doesn't seem to get that anyone else has rights in their home, especially when the others are homeowners and he and his family are merely RENTING. Of the 19 kids on our street, only HIS little princess Reese screams at the decibels and intensity she does and for the length she does. All I can do is pray they MOVE.

I am so glad to see your post. My one neighbors son, is over the top. Since he was little, when he plays or talks to other kids, he is in a constant state of high pitched yelling, screaming and rage. It seems his parents often do nothing. Although recently a couple of times, I did over hear his father tell him he did not like the screaming, but only when he is in his work space. I work from home and have academic studies. I have been keeping my mouth shut for years and I am really beginning to dislike that young boy and think he is going to grow up to be a raging Sociopath, because it seems the signs are there. He's cute and can be nice when I talk to him one on one, but then when he's in a group or just out there with everyone, he pisses me off, because his voice is octaves above the normal yelling range. The other kids get loud too, but his screaming is non-stop when he is in the company of other kids it's quite bizarre. It sounds like he snaps into a rage-mode that he can't control and it's extremely agitating to have to listen to it for long periods of time. Then they are friends with neighbors who host frequent block parties and their kids are also loud, then most times, they are all too loud when the get together which is frequent. And what you describe is happening on my block to a T. It's very weird! It's getting to the point where I have lost complete respect for the neighbors big time in at least two or three houses on my block, mainly two. All the other neighbors are normal and don't behave like a bunch of wild out of control kids in adult bodies setting a bad example for the kids they are raising. What is sad is it seems they are making brats out of their kids. The adults violate neighborhood rules with the city and when the city tells them to take ropes out of the city trees on the block, then the city comes and takes them down, they creep out on the weekends and go right back out there and put them back up, after being told it 's not safe for the neighborhood kids. Within 2 weeks they were bold enough to put the rope swings back in the tree and just boldly leave them there. They attach party flag décor on my vehicles without asking during their annoyingly frequent block parties. When those same neighbors first moved here, over ten years ago, the city had just ripped up all the streets and put nice fresh new ones in our community. They day after they were nicely done, the new neighbors husband painted permanent thick white, basket ball court lines for a basket ball hoop, which they illegally cemented on the part of the sidewalk that is city property and a big no no.. The city came out and asked them to remove it the first time, but instead of removing it, the dug a hole in the same spot, then filled it with cement and tried to attach the basket ball hoop there. The city came and removed it and had to paint black tar over the thick white lines in a large dome shape the man of the house painted that extended more than half way across the street in a very large shape and area of the street. Then he gets out there and yells WOOOOHOOO runs all around playing some European style hockey type games in the street. They are a real trip! They have no respect for anyone and constantly take over the block and put up construction barriers every single Friday. The wife constantly puts tables in the street, and has lots of benches, chairs, tables and a fire pit in her front yard. I mind my own business, but the problem is everything they are doing is infringing on the privacy, peace, quite and access to come and go freely for other residents on this block. They behave like they have no respect for anyone and what they want goes when they want it, and when she has company it has to be in the street and on her front lawn, I have never seen anything like this before in my entire life. One time, I couldn't even leave my house because there were about 40 people laying on the street in front of my car wrapped in blankets and lawn chairs watching movies on the wall of the neighbors garage. They do it so often that it takes the fun out of such gatherings, because sometimes there are more people out there gathered that don't even live on this block. They invite people, but their behavior has been so intrusive that I just get more turned off and don't care to join them because of how they go about it. I am a very patient person and let people do what ever makes them happy, but these people are out of control and too over bearing in how they go about things. It's ridiculous having to hear the constant noise and them constantly taking over the entire block they way they do with such excessive frequency, trying to act like happy go lucky community organizers a bit over done.. Large numbers of kids screaming to a point that it is causing major stress and is a bit much. They are real lucky I am not crazy! It's been just a tiny bit better lately, but I can 't wait for their kids grow up and go off to college and leave home or something and them getting old.. Sheesh.. These people definitely could have skipped parenting and definitely need a job because they are too much in the way. Like over grown noisy kids. The neighborhood was calm until those two couples moved in and made babies, became friends, then all hell broke loose.. Disgusted! There is no excuse, they should teach their kids better than that and also know how to behave themselves. I like them, but have lost respect for them due to how much they stress me out with the noise and their general behavior at times. I don't think they really mean any harm, but their actions are real abnoxious and I can't trust them because of how they go about things.. I am not easily bothered by noise either. But these people are really bad and out of control!

I understand completely... Some people need to be sterilized and should never become parents!
Two of my neighbors husbands who are homeowners act stupid like that as well.. It's crazy! I am not the type to be easily bothered, but these people are kids trapped in adult bodies. It's awful! Very narcissistic behavior.

Your story makes me realize society is set up all wrong. People need more distance and privacy. Neighborhoods can be too stressful with everyone so closely packed in parcels.. Very unhealthy.. What you describe is a good example of why?

Exactly, what is going on.. Why are kids behaving like this today? Never seen this growing up and I am in my forties, even kids growing up in the 90's were a little bit like that, but not to an overwhelming extreme like they are today. I also lived in a few parts of the USA, we played, laughed and made noise, but not like that, and knew when to tone it down or stop. The screaming seems like they want the world to know they are there.. And it goes on for hours, like they are all stuck in a realm of raging with noise. When several get together it sounds like people are yelling and screaming in an amusement park or elementary school playground. The sounds can be distressing when you are at home. The little sh**s! lol! It's very odd.. I used to love kids, now I can do without them when they act like that. I love it when I do see some families who's kids are nice and calm with decent behavior. We just have a lot of classless people with low standards these days reproducing and making a lot of money who move into better areas and they are ruining the peace and good quality of life with their garbage behavior. Sadly even the educated parents with decent income are acting trashy and of low quality by allowing this to go on, it's like parts of their common decency was never formed and they lack braincells or something - by allowing such nonsense to go on and on. Wow.. Amazing..

no one gives a rats ass. the rest of us chose to breed responsibly and just like when we dine out we dont want to raise your brats, hear your brats etc. Get a clue and take them in the house or out of the rest.
