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

It isn't just screaming kids that get my goat. It's also women who scream in high-pitched voices that get to me. One example is when my mom watches stuff that I hate on TV and, coincidentally, some female "dog" who's no longer a child just happens to scream her head. And what's worse is that I have to give into her insisting that I handle it when I refuse to. If I have my own home and she's in it, I'd make her give into me. Parent or not, she follows my rules in my home. In that place, not even my elders would be exempt my rules. If I demand that they behave submissively to me, they either comply or get kicked out for good.

If I'm a parent and I anger my child, I'd offer myself as a slave and demand that others tiptoe around him.

About screaming gals who aren't children anymore, if I have a way and she screams in a high-pitched voice, I'd be nasty. But then again, I'm pleased that I'm neither female nor a husband. In fact, I don't even want to be a parent because of the duties that come with with parenthood like takin' care of kids, whose guts I hate.

If I'm you, I wouldn't tolerate her presence on this website. She doesn't belong because she's a self-righteous sl** who's insensitive to who anti-screamers feel. If she can't those who complain about screamin' kids, she should shut up and get off of here.

Oops. I forgot to put "here" between "belong" and "because." My apologies.

I have 4 kids. They start screaming, they are warned. They do it again, they go to their room. No soanking, no yelling, just no fun. Amazingly, all I have to do is say “hey guys- keep it down” and walla! Currently ages 4, 8, 9 and 12. Meanwhile my neighbors behind me out there kids outside and shut their doors and put in their podcasts and let their kids scream— I don’t mean the occasion excitable being chased scream, I mean the bloodcurdling make you jump out of bed at 8 am on a Sunday sounds like the kid was hit with a shovel and being attacked by a dog scream— times their 4 kids.

It’s called poor parenting, lack of neighborly consideration, poor social skills and basically the same childish “I can do what I want and don’t give a c**p what you think” way of thinking that they were allowed to indulge in as kids.

Get a backbone folks, grow up, be an adult and a parent. And if your neighbor avoids you because you bring this nonsense to their attention, then you did yourself a favor. I introduced myself to my neighbors and asked if the kids were ever to loud to plead let me know. No outdoor play in Sunday’s before 11 (and 9 on Saturday) is our house rule. Hey, people like peace on their weekend mornings. Not exactly a secret.

It’s called being considerate of your neighbors. It’s not the kids fault- it’s their kid like parent’s fault.

I have three kids who play loudly sometimes, but i also have neighbours who 5 kids scream blue murder from 4.30 qm till 10pm or later sometimes the 3 years old only knows the f word and uses it excessively and the older ones call everyone in the neighborhood f..ing c's on a daily basis, theres normal children noise and then theres ridiculous, and no you cant approach the mum shell hit you... what do you suggest for that situation

There is a huge difference between an occasional tantrum and permissive or uninvolved parents allowing children to scream at the top of their lungs all day, every day. The children's incessant screaming is initially due to lack of sufficient involvement (by the child's standard. I understand you say you do activities with your child, that's great! However, they may have higher sensory or emotional needs that are not being satisfied by these activities, hence, the screaming bouts.) and later due to lack of intervention. I also have education in child development and years of experience in the classroom with children 3-12, and I assure you, children behave the way they do because of their developmental environment. I assume based on your indulgent use of exclamation points in your response that you are having a strong emotional reaction to the other poster. In my opinion, this would point to a naturally emotionally reactive disposition in you, the parent. (This is, after all, just a text response that elicited your strong emotional response, I would be interested to see how much stronger your emotional responses are when involved with other people directly. Further, I find it interesting that you are attempting to discredit the other poster's education, because it does not "jive" with your personal opinions, yet you cannot offer a scholarly counter argument. That to me points to a naturally defensive position as well, which often yields stronger emotional responses and a lack of logical countering, as a defensive person will often frame conflicting opinions as an "attack" on their personal goodness, rather than simply accepting it as an opposing opinion.) My guess would be your children are also emotionally reactive as a result. Hence, the random screaming fits. Attempt to keep yourself calm, and do not respond in an emotional way to your children when they have strong emotional responses. Your ability to model calm behavior when faced with challenging situations will also show the children how to respond. Every child is a direct reflection of the parenting style they were raised with, whether the parent wishes to acknowledge it or not. Just a thought.

Are you one to talk, penis?

Dang! I should have typed "who" as"how" just as I wish that I put "stand" between " can't " and "those."

I made these two mistakes in that post of mine:

1. typing "way" instead of "wife"

2. forgetting to put her "to her" after "nasty"

My apologies.

If I'm you, I'd blame kids besides their parents.

maybe you kid is the DEVIL just like YOU

It isn't just screaming kids who I find problematic. I also find people who curse in public just as problematic. If there's no law against slappin' kids who scream and people who cuss, I'd go right ahead and slap all o' them silly. And if they retaliate at me, I'd do it back to them ten-fold.

Sometimes it's the kids are just rude. Kid next door screams as load as he can at me when me or my children are out side. If he sees a window open screams at it. When I'm in backyard he is inside he bangs on windows. I can't go in my backyard cause I'm not aloud to yell at kids that are not mine but there kid is aloud to be rude in the name of kids being noise when they play. I have kids they won't go in backyard because of it.

I've been reading these posts hoping that it would make me feel a little better to see that I am not the only one suffering from lack of sleep and no peace and quiet. I've lived in my home for 11 years, and the last 9 of those years I have ENDURED the neighbors across the street. Their backyard faces my house. Initially, it was their dog that barked 24/7, but for the last 2 years, their kids have been driving me insane. They don't just play, they scream bloody murder for hours. The worse part is that they are NEVER supervised. They chase each other with garden tools. I actually saw them jumping on their trampoline with brooms and rakes in hand the other day. In my opinion, this is child abuse. The past few weeks, their "parents" have been sending them out an hour before the bus arrives (so they don't have to deal with them) and they stand outside my bedroom window SCREAMING. I have been exhausted at work and unable to focus due to lack of sleep. These are also the neighbors whose grass looks like it needs a goat turned lose on it. I am saddened and disgusted that inconsiderate strains on society like this are freely breeding children that have no respect for anyone. I can only imagine what the 3rd generation will be like. I feel that my only option is to sell my house and move somewhere where my neighbors are at least a mile away. I feel so bad for anyone on here who has to put up with an assault on their peace and their right to relaxation. All hardworking, mortgage paying adults deserve some down time, and these people are taking that away. I seriously question humanity sometimes.
