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

i do have kids all grown up now, and bringing up my grandchildren,but i NEVER allowed them to behave in such a manner in public or at home. 19.15 and the screaming continues gonna be a blow up soon

You obviously have loud kids yourself. You don't have to control kids if you take the time to parent them. If they scream ridiculously for no reason then perhaps they need something to scream about.

 had you actually taken the time to read the above my kids are all grown up and bringing up my grand children the youngest of my kids being 30 in december

Turn them into the police.

I'm a mom of an excellent six year old boy. He may occasionally forget that people live downstairs but we remind him to be respectful and he stops. Never, ever, ever screams. Contrast that with our next door neighbor. At any given point in the day, one of the two daughters is screaming. Just to scream. They run up and down the hallway, ratteling my windows, abd scream. Laughter---I have no problem with. Kids need to be joyful. But sweet c**p on a cracker when they start screaming I get so upset. I get that whole theory about 'let your kids scream because they are learning how to problem solve' blah blah blah. If they're like a year old, I get it. But the older child? My goodness, what reason does any child have for daily screaming tantrums?
"I DON'T WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL!!!!!!!!"x20
"I WANT POPTARTS FOR BREAKFAST!!!! x13
Etc
Holy cow guys teach your kid to articulate NOT like an a-hole and everyone else's morning won't suck as much as yours.

And they're so rude; as a family. The girls roll their eyes when my son and I say good morning. Dad is a straight up jerk weasel. Moms alright I guess.

Always contemplating calling CPS because they are 4 people living in a one bedroom. Don't want to mess w anyone's life but a lady can only take so much you know?

I hate my neighbors kids. When our lease is up, we are packing and leaving without looking back. My three pit bulls listen better than those parking lot rats.

No no f**k that. Put a muzzle on these kids get them in an after school program or summer camp sh*t

If only that's accepted and possible.

i am in my 20's live my parents we got new neighbours 2 years ago. everything was ok till their 2 boys started throwing stuff over just to get our attention couple of the other neighbours have said the same and have flung muck at windows to and keep banging on walls upstairs if they heard someone in our bathroom getting beyond the joke every time the Dad watches them we hear shouting and screaming at 7 or 8 every Saturday morning he's an id**t doesn't listen was starting to park their car or his Mothers rights outside our house if our wasn't there. we did have a word with them about the noise it didn't last i love kids as use to work in child care and have family with young but next doors are a nightmare i will be glad when i move out as have been ignoring us and giving us a funny look their so ignorant just got know respect for others their only a few years older than me but sometimes think who the hell's the kids in there haha

I thought that is what parks are for , backyards are for people to enjoy

Not listening to beats screaming

That is fine but your neighbors should not have to put up with it. I also have the screaming kids next door to me. It gets to be more than just annoying. It gets to be very difficult living next to them.
Where is courtesy towards neighbors. These neighbors are also the most self-absorbed, inconsiderate people.
If your kids scream and shrill please don't subject other people to it. Have them do it inside.

When my children got old enough to cry about a candy bar or toy I would buy it for them to make them quite. Tell them they will have to wait to we get outside to eat or play with it then..... I would get them in the car and eat the candy right in front of them or smash the toy on the ground in the parking lot. I think it only happened a few time per child, they learn fast. I would end by telling them that if they want something they have to earn it. So next time you want something ask nice that you want it and then ask what can I do to earn it. I would get it as long as it was not much money and have them do age appropriate task from cleaning out the cat box, pick up all the sticks in the yard, help wash the car, put away dishes......

I live in a small town with small lots that always ranks as one of the top places to retire in the NW.
Recently, we have noticed a couple of young people that have recently moved here to raise their children in what some refer to as a "hippie, few rules or boundaries attitude, new wave, etc" style of parenting.
The kids (under 6) are beyond annoying and the parents know quite a few of the neighbors are frustrated with the CONSTANT screams/shrieks, CONSTANT babble and animalistic sounds that CONSTANTLY come out of the house and back yard.
The neighbors who are upset are families that do not allow their children to go outside and behave in such manner, single parents of teen-agers, couples in their 50's that have raised their children, to elderly people that just want to sit in their back yard and relax. It's gone from neighbors trying to have a friendly discussion in regards to the screams and constant noise with the parents of these screaming kids to some of the neighbors contacting the police. It's my understanding that the police dept told the parents to be more aware of the excessively loud sounds that are coming from their children, to be considerate of the neighbors who have raised their children already and realize the reason they chose the rental in this neighborhood was because it's nice and quiet. Hence the word QUIET!
From what I've also heard, the couple is somewhat feeling like they aren't being accepted, but come on, didn't they think that as their kids were screaming and still are, that the other neighbors from as far away as 1 1/2 blocks, are really frustrated with the lack of consideration they have shown in keeping their kids from ruining others people enjoyment in being in their own homes and yards. It was summer and people had to close their windows to try and squelch the sounds coming from this rental. So for the most part, the neighbors ignore them, I've seen some give them dirty looks, some play music to try to "soften the sound", etc.
As I type this, I've heard the 2 kids scream, cry, making a sound over, over, over and over, one must have hit the other as well because I heard a piercing scream, then crying from one of the kids, etc. It's just CONSTANT NOISE, little to no conversation or use of words, no supervision or boundary instruction from the parents as apparently they don't want to harm the child's artistic, self-expression side as that can cause repression, depression and who knows what other "new wave" idea that they are following in raising these kids. They send the kids out in the morning and they stay outside all day long right up until dark and are encouraged to play in the dirt, with the leaves and sticks, but yet the parents think they are truly visionary in how they're raising these little screamers.
One of the neighbors told me when she tried talking to the mother, she revealed they lived in two other places where they lived next to people who were "intolerant" of her children. At what point will these people realize that it's not the neighbors who are a problem--it's them. Sorry but that's the truth of the situation and they need to realize that. Honestly, when these kids grow up and act obnoxious, who is going to tolerate them then?

My son is also what would be described as a emotional child. Emotional in the way that would be described as very conscientious of himself, others, compassionate, sympathetic and very sensitive to the feelings of himself and others. He has been this way for as long as we can remember and he is now a young male adult who is the kind of young man you or anyone would want to know. As a child, he was not a screamer and had he been one, as structured parents, we would have strongly discouraged such behavior. Our neighbor who has a small boy, has a male friend over and for some unknown reason, the guy will tell the kid to "answer louder", "say it louder, "what's your name", etc. It's as if he's trying to get the kid to scream to annoy all the rest of us on the street. WHY? This guy looks like he's in his late 20's or early 30's, smokes like a fiend and coughs like an old man with lung cancer. You can help but think "hmmmm.....future white trash".

Time and time again, I see where parents are just giving up or giving in. Parents are giving their young toddlers their cell phone's to hold while grocery shopping versus talking and interacting with the growing curious mind of a toddler. This is a crazy time we live in, where parents want to be "friends" versus "a parent".

A local child psychologist recently told me about a teenage boy who he was counseling after losing a member of his family. Apparently, as the story goes, the boy came into the office one day, happy as a lark. The doctor asked him why he was in such a good mood. The high school student smiled, and went on to tell him the reason. Over the last week-end, he had a one-night sex encounter with the best looking girl at the high school and they did it in her bed at her house and he spent the night....all the while, the mom was home and so was the step-dad. The boy started to then really laugh as he was telling the doctor the story because he got a total kick of how he went downstairs with the girl the next morning and there was mom making breakfast for everyone and the step-dad was already seated at the table. Both these kids were in high school, and it seems every body (adults and teens and kids as young as 12) are sleeping with everybody in this town we currently live in. Who's parenting who? Side Note: Syphilis rate soaring in this county-YUCK!

I'm suffering through this very thing right now and it is infuriating. While I don't have kids of my own, I do have two nieces ages 2 and 4, so I know how kids act. However, my upstairs neighbor (who is a single woman) moved in her sister and her small child who is around 2 or 3 years old. I've started referring to this kid as "demon spawn". This kid will run, jump (possibly off furniture), SCREAM, and throw things at the floor for hours. On the weekends, I get the displeasure of being subjected to it from 7am until whenever the kid goes to bed. On several occasions it's been after 11pm. The noise is so much worse as my neighbor had all her carpet removed and put in cheap hardwood floors, which I am assuming as very little padding underneath not long before she moved the kid in. It conducts noise so well to the downstairs that I can hear her little dog's nails on the floor with it walks! I finally caught her outside one day and very politely asked her about the situation and told her how loud it is (I have been able to hear this kid through 32 decibal earplugs with shooting range earmuffs on over top of those). She seemed like she empathized saying she knew how loud it could be because of how the 3rd floor neighbor stomped. She also assured me that they'd get rugs, try to be quieter, and it was only a temporary situation. She also said that she was eager for her sister and the kid to move out as the sister ignores the kid and allows him to run wild. So anyway, that was the beginning of August. It's now November 12th and I'm having my 3 day weekend ruined by constant noise. It's aggravating that I can't watch TV, or read a book, nor can I even be in my own home without having to wear earplugs the whole time (which is not very comfortable and is actually causing pain to my ears from having to wear them so much). I have turned into an angry person as I've lost all patience. I have tried to be understanding, but after over 3 months of this B.S., I'm literally ready to strangle my neighbor, her sister, and her demon child. I've even lost it a few times and pounded on the walls while screaming to imitate the kid back to them. Understand, this was after being woken up at 7am on a Sunday morning THROUGH the earplugs I had worn to bed and over the white noise machine next to my bed. They were letting the kid run, jump, and scream in the room directly over my bed. I would write this off and just them being bone headed, but even before the kid moved in, the neighbor would allow her dog to bark non stop occasionally (even when she was home). She would also vacuum at any hour day or night. She knows that I go to bed around 9 or 10 PM because I have to get up at 4:30am to go to work, but she was running the vacuum in the room over my bed at 11:30 one night. I even thought maybe she was doing all this as a retribution because maybe I was accidently waking her up when I got up so early (which I should note here that I go to extra lengths to be extremely quiet....I twist a door's knob and pull it closed gently so it makes no sound, I won't flush the toilet until right before I leave, I even invested in a soundless alarm clock that shakes the bed to wake me up). She said she never hears me. So what gives? I am so angry that they are so inconsiderate of me...but then when I try to tell someone about it they are like "well a kid will be a kid", but is it really fair to be ruining my life like this? Why is it that I can't even relax in my own home or get a decent night's sleep but a kid who doesn't even actually live there can have free run to make as much noise as possible above me??!!!
