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

Sounds like ur just a crappy parent

My stepdaughter screams like she is dying, parents are taught to ignore their children, if we punish them or spank them we are considered abusive, if we ignore them we are considered bad parents for disturbing those without kids. My recommendation is to find adult only housing. Also the child could have health or mental problems...but your neighbor should tell you if this is the case. Sometimes kids get ear infections at night or they are just sick so if you have kids under 10 get used to getting woke up by crying. A loud fan works well! My son has seizures and wakes up in the night crying and its hard to calm down....it would be terrible if my neighbors despised him for this. In the same sense my daughter is just a brat...I wish I could just lock her in the closet when she had tantrums but that's considered abuse soooo..... please tell me how to get a 5 year old girl to not throw a tantrum without being considered abusive. We ground her but really it does very little. My hubby used to get it with a belt, I used to get spanked....around here its pretty much illegal to do so....thanks to the you liberal fruits of the world (not liberals- I mean wishy washy fruit ones).

Yes some irresponsible parents have kids but there are also many of us Responsible Parents who are prevented from parenting conservatively because Liberal sources designed this great new system that they think is the best for children...."Ohhhh you picked up your crayons you threw on the floor...here's sticker, "Ohhh...you went all day with out kicking me" how about a cupcake.."Honey I'm so proud of you for not peeing your pants at 6 years old" were going to take you to Disneyland". The parenting stye of Reward EVERY behavior is backfiring. Its teaching children to blame others for all of their problems, and accountability is almost non-existent! The parent must please the child in todays culture, rather than the other way around. Parents who expect their children to respect them and offer consequences for expected behavior are seen as bad parents...A LOT! of parents out there feel this way and we feel we are being forced into a corner. I once kept my first grader home from a field trip because she hit me and her teacher told the principle and they brought me in for counseling and told me I should attend parenting classes. They felt it was too harsh...I feel they are wishy washy Liberal fruits but thats who has the control where we live so that's what we have to conform too!

So, why are you insinuating that it was a "racial comment"? It appears that YOU are the one making the comment racial. The poster simply mentioned "rap" music. That's a generational thing — multiple cultures of young folks listen to rap. Hmmmmm, it's all in how WE look at things, isn't it.

For every child there is a "responsible" adult, either through sex or through benefits paid. Said resonsible person should manage the child or should be prepared to pay the penalty for the kid's behaviour. And if we don't have responsible adults, then the kids are themselves responsible and there should be no age limits on criminal punishment. Either or.... but not neither.

Why is it that if you ever dare to Google about bad neighbours, it always comes back with moans about noise keeping the precious babes awake? I like to enjoy life, I chose not to have kids, I don't like their bawling, the c**p music you play them to entertain them or your pathetic pocket doggies yapping all day. Never mind, while I may only work hard for a better planet, I'm just the bad guy with no kids, just condoms, whilst you shag your way on an already over-populated planet. Congrats on your worthy contribution to life. Go figure :-(

I love life but also appreciate why abortion would raise the quality of life for the living . . . Not all the offspring of biologically human parents should exist on this small planet. We do not become worthwhile at the point of conception, nor at the point of birth, only after our parents and society have created us into something more.

Here in South Africa the kids (yes, the mothers are kids themselves) just pass their babies on to their extended families and spend the spawning benefit on Levis. Damn, I guess Levis must be the problem!

Wow! You're mom must be so proud. People who act like you would be beaten up in the city I was raised in. I am a single mother of four kids. They aren't perfect, but are good law abiding children. They get loud when they play because, duh, that's what kids do. Do you not remember your childhood? I hope you never have kids.

YES, children are born with personality and I believe that the environment and upbringing plays a big role is shaping that "personality" for better or for worse. As per the "good luck to all those who are not yet parents and think they are going to have a model children..." speech, I have 3-ages 15, 10, and 8. And yes my kids might be screaming and whining inside but when they go outside they know how to be considerate of other people. The teaching did not happen overnight. Of course it took time to speak to my children every time we went outside that other people have the right to enjoy their time and their homes-we also own a home. AGAIN, yes, there will be times when your child is going to throw tantrums. However, if you are letting your children play outside alone-like one of my neighbors who doesn't even own the home does- for 5 hours or more every day is not only an issue of personality, but bad parenting for starters, and then it becomes a legal issue(someone might call the ACS on them for all I care.) She claims that her children go inside at 7:00 pm which if fine according to her, but doesn't care about the fact that most days her kids play outside from 2:30 pm on school days and 11:00 am when school is out. Those kids, ages 12, 9 and 5 are outside all day long, bring over other kids that do not even live there,and scream and yell at the top of their lungs. The bouncing of the ball is constant and their parents don't even care about even checking on those kids once in a while. The parents themselves are inside-listening to loud music and kicking their kids out. AGAIN, a parent is someone who talks to their kids about what's right or wrong-and I understand that it is not easy and first but if you are consistent they will get the idea. After all behavior is learned in most cases, so if your child is an emotional person with your help she is going to learn how to control her emotions, whether she likes it or not, or is going to continue the same behavior all her life, only because you are teaching her that "this is her personality."

It's not fair to group all single mothers in one category. I'm a child of a single mother, and I was a very reserved child.

I am a father of 3 boys that are disciplined as strictly as they are loved. Time outs and discussions about everything. We give them a lot of rules, but a lot of love and attention. They are angels. Every neighbor I have had with children that bang our exterior walls, shout, run, play ball inside, blast music, until 2am, are scumbag, druggie, single-moms(no father to teach the kids) that never discipline their kids. When they want their kids to stop making noise, they send them to play outside in front of my apartment in stead! No excuses for scumbags!

!!!!! ????? !!!!!! Mombies, entitled mombies...

I totally agree, who the hell do these people think they are allowing their children to laugh and run and jump and play? How dare they?! Clearly this is the result of bad parenting and nothing else. It must be stopped!
