Agreed. I lived in an apartment for years and a 3 year old running and screaming up and down the hallway before 8am on a Sunday would p**s me off too. Imo the neighbor wasn't being rude or unreasonable to ask the mom to control her kid

True, they can understand that little kids like to play around and laughing loudly but at least be considerate on what time they can be let loose

Written by someone with no idea how impossible it is to "control" an autistic child. My severely autistic son was in his twenties by the time he finally learned not to slam the door.

I disagree. I worked nights, living under a family of 4 (2 kids under 5). It was far from enjoyable, but kids will be kids. The options are A, allow them to be natural, happy kids. B, punish them so they learn to NOT be normal, happy kids. Or C, sit them in front of a TV. My issue with C, BTW, is that I can't tell you how many posts and experiences I've had or read about how using the TV to silence your kids makes you a bad parent.

I'd say "you decided to live in a appartement, you should be carefull not to be too loud". Saying that as a mother of 2. We were always carefull to keep them from running/jumping inside and get them to play outside when they needed to move. We moved in a house when they were 2 and 4 and I still make sure they are too loud in the garden. As you said "considération for others". No one wants the upstairs lady to have her high heels inside, the dog on the right to howl like the poor doggo they are for being left alone all day, or the student of first floor to throw a party until 4am in the middle of the week. It's a collective duty to make things work. Except for the crazy old lady that was complaining all the time about the noise coming from the school playground during break times...

Right? Like, excuse me Karen, this was all I could afford. I'm sorry I can't a*s my dead parents to buy me a house or marry some military dude to support me. Some of us are just dregs of society working those gross jobs everybody yells at us for having yet would die if they went away. <.< I'm going to say for thought is dead on the interwebs.

Yeah, we were forced to sell our home because we found black mold was making us very sick. I did not choose to live near kids, I'm not fond of them and would prefer a house!
