When there are small children in the house, there is no doubt that there will be lots of laughs, cries, and other noises that your neighbors could hear.
But one mother has expressed her ‘disgust’ after her ‘evil’ neighbor reported her 1-year-old daughter to the council just because she was making some noises in their own house.
Writing on Mumsnet, the mother explained that their ‘neighbor from hell’ had crossed the line without even trying to discuss their problem with them first.
“I’m actually disgusted by the fact that my neighbor has made a complaint to the council specifically about my one-year-old daughter,” the mother explained.
She said that her daughter is a happy and lively little girl who is always excited to play every morning.
“Sometimes the time is 5am when she wants to get out of bed and she does stand at her bedroom gate screaming (not crying, just screaming) to get our attention.”
The mother explained that they have ‘routines’ and that they encourage their child to sleep early, their daughter still has a tendency to ‘get out of bed early and play.’
“Eventually we will give into her and get up and out of bed to start the day,” she went on.
“However, I’m not willing to just give into her straight away for the sake of silencing her because she will then get into her head that getting up at 5am is fine – and that goes against everything we’ve ever done when it comes to her routine.”
The mom also said that their neighbor has lived in silence for months and when they moved to their apartment, they thought that the next flat was empty.
“Until yesterday, I was made aware someone was in there and I went round to ask her very calmly if we could have a chat about it. Of course, she slammed the door in my face.”
She said that the woman lives alone and does not have any children.
“I understand that the lady may not like living next door to a child who is doing normal child-like stuff – but surely she can’t be making complaints to the council about a one-year-old making noise? Would she complain about a newborn too?”
The mother also asked what the council could possibly do about the matter.
“Someone please tell me that this woman is in the wrong here or should I be trying to get my child to be silent in her own home?”
