How much crap do you have to take from your neighbors?
If you are in an apartment complex, you should file a complaint/report with the management. You pay rent, just as everybody else does, and you are entitled to live in reasonable comfort. Kids will be kids, but they must respect others who live around them, and their parents need to enforce this. Perhaps it doesn't bother them, but they need to instill in their children, respect for others.
