Why do they have to shout all the time?!

Oldernotwiser

Children can be outside having fun without screaming all the time and certainly without having their parents screaming as well.

I wish I could but they dont seem like nice people im on my own and even if I did its the dread of seeing whether they will stick to it.

I cant sit in the garden as I feel bit exposed if you know what I mean...they have others round sometimes so dont feel comfortable, its not that they actually say anything bad to me I just wish they were more quiet.

Have you actually told them though?
Have you actually mentioned about the bbq smoke?

To be fair some people simply wouldnt bew bothered by it- I certainly wouldnt be bothered by it, I LOVE the smell of BBQs and If i lived next door to them Id like it.
But if you dont you are expecting them to be psychic?

If you want more privacy, why donty you talk to them about saharing the cost of some plants or fencing instead of the wire fence?

Im sorry but the MSE community cant help you if you wont even talk to them?!!? :rotfl:

I do think its very sad that a grown woman cant just go and have a chat with the neighbours about something thas bothering her. Moaning to us isnt going to improve the situation is it :rotfl:

You judge them because you know they are on benefits? Well that was and is wrong of you. Just because people are on benefits does not mean they are going to be 'bad news'. You are probably just looking for things because you know they are on benefits. You may be seeing them as different because you want to see them as different.

You don't like them because their children do what children should do by going outside and have fun? I think that children being outside doing something is better than them being inside all the time on game consols or just because the people next door don't like noise! It's probably people complaining about chidrens noise levels over the years that made children more likely to stay in and be inactive!

Where I live we are the only ones in the flats that do not have a child/children. I hear the children every day. Children make noise and they should be able to enjoy their time. Yes they can be bothersome sometimes but I realise it's due to the mood I am in and not them. The children do have manners I am sure of it. They are just having fun that's all. I'm sure there are some things we do that they do not like but that's because people are different.

Your next door probably don't see anything wrong in encouraging their children to stay active. To be honest I'd see their point.

Im not having a go at people on benefit just my neighbours all I said was its constant noise, now the girl is screaming her lungs out, there is playing then there is letting them do what they want while the adults holler form the kitchen.

Any thoughts on suggestion of erecting trellis or panel fence, Helena?

Thanks if you saw the garden layouts the very least I would do for fencing is 6ft high wooden fence which I cant afford.

The current fence is not in good condition they climb over to get the balls but I dont mind that if I put a trellis it would get ruined

I have some "chavvy" teenagers next door to me (their dad works abroad from Monday-Thursday) so I'm used to their shouting...how else can they communicate over the loud music?

Obviously I don't like it but I get peace at the weekends when dad is back and that's the time I go out in my garden and I don't hear a peep out of them.

My garden is also separated by a low wire fence on the other side and the woman who lives there, never does anything in her garden or never goes out in it. The grass and weeds and higher than the fence and the weeds take over my garden. She shouts the whole time at her kids (who never go out) and her ex hubbie on the phone and sometimes it's quite entertaining listening to her life story...

Not sure whether she or the teenagers are worse tbh...

They rent the property.. and I dont think the parents work as the car is always there and I see both parents come and go at all times of day.

How do you know? Are you in all day too?

I can understand to a degree the noise issue, we live next door but one to a young family and the little boy is Autistic, and so has a tendency to scream a lot, but it is part of his condition and so he cannot help it, nor can his parents. They socialise in their garden a lot, and are quite noisy. When my kids were little we always made them tone down the noise in the garden, in fact it is probably worse now they are young adults and sit in the garden chatting, drinking and laughing till the small hours, it is more difficult to tell one of their friends to be quiet when they are 24!!

BBQ is the smell of summer to me and doesnt bother me at all. I think that perhaps you beed to chill out a bit and accept that families do make noise.

Maybe you could invite some of your own friends over and have a BBQ/lunch in the garden, and the company would mean you had less time to focus on what is going on next door. I would also invest in that trellis to preserve your privacy, plant a fast growing climber and it will deaden some of the sound as well.
