Neighbour problems

There is one more neighbour with an adjoining garden but they have a tiny garden so just use it for drying washing, she did mention that the neighbours in question don't speak to anyone, and I did say hello a few times when I have seen her but she just blanks me. It's difficult to explain to my 2 year old, she just hates the noise.

She's probably had neighbour trouble in the past.

I'd also be looking at wind chimes & water features to make nice noise in your garden for your daughter to focus on.

It's possible that she's been blanking you because she fears that you'll try to tackle her in an unsympathetic manner. Perhaps in the same way previous neighbours have.

If you find his behaviour difficult just imagine what it must be like to have to deal with it 24/7

I appreciate that, and she would have had no difficulties from the neighbours previously, they were the nicest couple and got on with everyone.

I have no clue what it must be like to live with 24 hours, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy my own property. I know that sounds mean but it's unbearable. And it can't be much fun for their son being outside for 4/5 hours at a time, in a concrete yard with a swing.

Stop making judgements. You have absolutely no idea about this child & his disabilities. No idea what soothes him or upsets.
No wonder his mum doesn't speak if this is what she has faced in the past.

I'm not making judgements, stop trying to find things in my post that are not there.

The comment I highlighted was judgemental.

No it's not. It's my opinion. A child out rain or shine for hours on end with no interaction can't be much fun.

Anyway thanks to those who commented. I have someone coming round to quote for a fence, maybe if he can't see us he won't be as vocal.

As I said you have absolutely no idea about this child. Parenting a disabled child is very difficult & made a damn sight worse when people judge you for your actions.

Maybe being on a swing for 4/5 hours soothes him? Maybe he really enjoys it? As much as you have a right to be in your back garden, so do the neighbours.

And you have no idea, if we are going to be picky neither of us know what this boys condition is or how it affects him or his family.

I am however affected by the noise as are my family. You have simply chosen to mount your white horse and come to the neighbours rescue all in the sole purpose of.?

As I said, fence and large trees seem to be the way forward.

He doesn't play on the swing, he walks round the garden in circles shouting on his mum and dad, then when we come outside it's us he calls for.

Yes they do have a right to use their garden, as I said its a difficult sensitive situation but not one I can ignore. If that makes me an awful person. So be it
