Neighbours banging the wall
Hey ladies, I was wondering if I could get some advice on what to do I currently live in a new build housing association house with me my partner and 2 month old daughter we moved in , back in march and I had my daughter prematurely at 24 weeks so we wasn’t home for months due to being in hospital with her , the hospital gave us accommodation. Since moving back home and finally settling in the neighbours have been banging our wall every time our daughter cries. my daughter is a pretty quiet baby and she sleeps through the night with maybe only 1 wake up. Every time she cries or even begins to cry they bang on my wall , she had her injections yesterday so she’s been crying more that usual and all I’ve had all day is them banging the wall . They aren’t the nicest people and I don’t wish to approach them. What should I do ?
They are completely out of line! I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. However, neighbour disputes can be really problematic, so it’s worth going in gently at first. Maybe write a little card with a picture of your daughter, a jokey apology for the crying, and a request that they not bang on the wall because you’re always doing the best you can to stop her crying anyway and banging on the wall doesn’t make that happen any quicker. If you’re feeling super generous you could throw in some muffins or something. It’s hard for reasonable people to continue to be shitty if you kill them with kindness! If they’re not reasonable people then you’ll have to step it up to the next level, but cross that bridge if you come to it 😊
