Pregnancy and Neighbours Car Horn

mummyroysof3

Not a good idea to do it at 3am then have the neighbours hating you IMO

OP, your OH isn't going to suffer from being woken early, whether by car horn or a crying baby or an alarm clock. Is it really too much to stick it out ? What do you hope to achieve by being childish and doing the same thing ?

I'm pretty sure if you start tooting your horn at 3am there will be some other neighbour knocking on your door pretty quickly. 3am is a huge difference to 6.30. And won't this wake up your OH ?

Do you want to fall out with any more neighbours ? Do you honestly think this is the best way to handle this situation ? Because i don't.

Your neighbour is an idiot, let him be an idiot, don't try to match him. You've said your piece, let it go now.

again thanks for the replies, this is my first time posting on this board. Do threads always go off on a tangent?

Hello, welcome, and yes :rotfl: You can either enter into the tangential debate, or ignore it (it'll continue without you) and just respond to those posts who actually answer your question.

No, it's not acceptable that he beeps to say goodbye - I hate it when people in our road do so at 5pm, I personally can't see the point. Whether a beep when I'm sleeping would actually wake me up, I don't know - most days the alarm doesn't even wake me! But I'm an early riser, so 6:30am would bother me less than it might some night owls, and to my mind it's debatable as to whether that is too early.

Ask him if he'd like some flags to wave out of the window whilst he's saying his farewells, Jesus is a peck on the cheek not good enough these days!?

Hi,

This is the first time I have any experience of pregnant women, so i have no idea what harms/doesn't harm the baby. I am just assuming that being woken up is b

wow, if you and girlfriend are stressed out now, just wait until you are up at 2/3 in the morning changing the nappies with the green stuff..

There was wimmun having weans during the blitz and still survived, sounds like you're too young to remember that.

Youse sound like a yuppy couple, too posh to push.

So you are going to willy wave in response.

Real mature ......are you sure you are ready for parenthood?

As I said earlier in the thread .....if you start a war with your neighbour it is only going to escalate .....and stuck in the middle will be your girlfriend who will end up suffering from genuine stress which IS harmful to the baby....... Maybe a bit less willy waving and a bit more common sense ?

Maybe you get by by hiding from your problems, however I take an active choice to try and fix mine.

As said before, this is my last choice, but as far as I'm concerned I have no other, maybe it will work. There is no willy waving in it for me, this is a reality check for an inconsiderate person and showing him what life is like for someone else.

Your comment on parenthood is bang out of order. I think your view on no doing anything in these kinds of situations is a terrible example for anyone and it is people that do nothing that create people like this in the first place.

As always with these types of forums you find people who sit on their keyboards that say things that they would never say to someone else in real life, you are obviously one of these people.

Do you realise how childish you sound? You really should, as mentioned many times before, speak to a PCSO or talk to someone at the council.

I do think some posters are being a little blunt with the OP. I would say clearly he is a first time Dad and all parents know with your first you tend to be very sensitive to everything.

OP the baby and the GF will not be hurt by this and if she needs extra sleep she can either go to bed earlier or if she is at home can sleep in the afternoon.

As a Mum of 4 aged 4 to 16 OH and I were just recently saying how rare it is to get a full night sleep, probably not had one like before the kids ever lol.

I can recall two of them being about 6 and 2 and being ill whilst the baby was in a cot and I settled the baby then sat holding one of each of the girls hands in a freezing bedroom on the floor between beds at 3 am (OH had been helping BTW, changing beds etc, but he was due to do a 45 min commute up the motorway at 6am so needed his sleep lol).

I wonder how pregnant your girlfriend is as I found from about 7 months on I was so big and uncomfortable that I didn't sleep well and was up most days at 6 or earlier, sometimes towards the end sat in a bath to combat back ache and braxton hicks pains.

Enjoy being a parent its tough, but the best thing we ever did.

No it isn't!
I do hope you won't raise your child to have the same tit for tat attitude.
