Noise From Flat Above-Concerned About a Child

puddy

ive missed the bit where it says an adult male came to the door and i missed the bit where it says that the OP has cctv set up in the upstairs flat so that she can see exactly where and what this child is playing with and doing

how do you know its a football? that is inconsiderate, it will make a lot of noise, but im still not sure what bits of what you actually 'know' could constitute neglect?

theres a lot of assumptions that could mean the child is neglected but nothing you have heard or seen directly? is that right or have i missed it somewhere?

what did the parents actually say to you then when you raised the issue?

My suggestion is to get even. The issue is that having offspring somehow gives you the right to ruin someone elses life by creating noise which is 'reasonable' to you but, obviously, completely unreasonable to the person whose life is being ruined.

Legally there's very little you can do. Trying to reason with Prima Donna parents who think the world revolves around them simply because they've managed to reproduce is impossible, as i've found out.

My advice is to ensure that they are woken up every night and then they will understand how their behaviour is impacting you.

And for those who say move, my property is already on the market. I'm considering taking a £20K to £30K hit because of the neighbours from hell living above me.

Ive been thinking and tempted by that solution, however i wouldnt want to weaken my case, as they could argue their childs noise is reasonable but me banging on the wall is unreasonable if i get my mate from enviromental health involved.

However! I think I have found the perfect solution to my problem!

the best thing about that is

a) I dont hear it
b) the parent dont hear it

I would love to see how the parents cope when their child is awake 24 hours a day

they denied it, but so what does it matter whether i seen them playing football ? if someone was playing music really loudly does that mean you are not allow ed to challenge them or raised it as an issue because you cont see their music system and the volume level it is set at.

wether i can prove or prove anything, i agree means fvck all, but the nosie does, so wether they are playing football or chess up there i dont care as long as it dosnt give disturb my quality of life

You really are priceless! How is a child that can't sleep and is probably feeling very irritated going to help your situation? I'm really really glad that I don't live next door to a piece of work like you :eek:

Does seem a bit mean to start a vendetta against a toddler.

Well sorry to say - your dastardly plan won't work as the frequency will not affect a very young child. And you were thinking about reporting the PARENTS to social services???

Surely this is a wind-up?

very true and totally agree with you, but when your at your wits end you need to take desperate mesures. Ive been told here it my problem, no matter how unfair it is, i have to move.

My reasoning for doing this, is that shifts the problem from me to the parents.

at the end of the day, the simple fact is, it is their kid! they have decided to organise the living arrangements above in such a way and are allowing thier own kids behaviour such a way that it gives them minimal amout of grief but are shifting the problem onto their neigbours, i.e. me!

Fvck the glove are off!

Well as noise is so obvioulsy an issue with you - why in God's name did you rent a flat underneath someone else? I fail to see how a CHILD running about on carpeted floor could really be that bad. If you're so sensitive to noise then you really need to save up and buy a nice remote rural property.

Plus it's Friday night. As you are so obvously childless can you not go to the pub with your friends to escape the noise?

you really have no concept of what the situation i am in,of course having to accept noise is part of living in a flat. but having people who refuse to live like normal people is not what i expected,

of course since so many people think their living arrangements are so normal and no-one will intervene, maybe i should retreat to my bedroom and just play loud music to give the parents a taste of thier own medicine.

BTW new peice of information,ive just shown my partner this thread and he said i need to correct a peice of information.they have not removed the door to the living room, but removed the doors to ALL rooms except their bedroom/living room. of course i'm sure you all here will tell me this is "normal" behaviour from "responsible" parents.
