Noisy kids/noisy neighbors

[pomtzu]

Good point. Well, obviously a study has been made saying that children these days are selfish and narcistic, and I think this may be one of the causes. Another problem is that they don't know any limits or restrictions.

I'm sure that all children aren't like that, but if this is an accepted way of life there, then I hate to think of what the generation of kids now growing up, will be like in the near future. Scary thought........

I also like Johanna have a low tolerance of noise,however there are times you just have to grin and bear it,I really have empathy for you though,here in NZ we have noise control and it has to be over a certain decibels before they will do anything, however i lived next door to a group of young people renting and going to university who had a party nearly every single night in the garage which is very close to our property, it was terrible and it took a real toll on my already bad health at the time,this went on for a year too,so if anyone understands Kirsten i sure do.

I love to hear children laughing and playing too, but from what you are describing it is beyond that, it is not the children's fault but their parents,who should be teaching them to be more considerate of others.

We have children across the road from us, they are pretty darn noisy too, they are fairly new neighbours, but honestly their parents are worse, they get up at around 6 every day, and make such a noise, i am an early riser so it is not such a big deal to me, but they slam their van doors, put on the radio loud and i just feel they are so inconsiderate of others trying to get a lie in at the weekends.

I have no answers Kirsten, such a ton of empathy. HUGS

You know, I bet the parents of these children are unaware that their kids make so much noise. They have probably tuned it out, and don't even "hear" it. I would approach the parents nicely, and explain that you have some health issues that make you sensitive to noise.
