O/T - The kid next door....

[lorihart]

is driving me crazy!x( This is more of a vent then a look for help b/c there is really nothing I can do about it.
We live in a duplex so we are joined on to someone else.We very rarely heard anything from them in the last 2 yrs.It is a couple and a 3 yr old boy.
They bought him a pool this summer and that is when he started screaming.I thought that he was just afraid of the cold water or you know what kids are like when cold water touches them.
Every since then he hasn't stopped.We can hear him through the walls, and all day long!He screams like a girl, very high pitched. DH asked if maybe there was something wrong with him b/c he doesn't talk much either.He wakes me up in the middle of my naps when I have worked night shifts.The other day I pulled in the driveway and I could hear him screaming and vrying outside of the house.
This is my opinion...she is extremely overweight and I know that she doesn't do anything all day long and for the most part in the middle of the day, you can hear movies on bust! So I think she is sitting on her backside while the kid is screaming and looking for attention.I know they are not hurting him b/c they are nice people, I think he just nneds to be controlled a little more....

Now I feel a bit better,

You know, duct tape works wonder. Just sneak in, apply, and BAM.... no more screaming Just ask Bobbi.

 

[lorihart]

I wish...but I think I would have to get in there when he isn't screaming..and that could be the problem.Now if it were my own kid..there would be alot of duct tape around :7 Social services anyone? I just don't get how she can listen to it all day long, unless she is in a self induced sugar coma?

Lori,

I would be thinking the same thing. I think she is eating them krispy kreme donuts and laying down on the couch watching all the soaps and poor little guy of hers is just beside himself. My children would never behave like that...sounds like a brat. He is lacking attention and disclipine and now poor Lori has to suffer for it. Shame, you can't tell others how to raise their child, but maybe you should just scream out, "SHUT UP"! Maybe mom will get the message and get off her fat duff then.

ma'am, this is the TOPIC police. Please remember to stay on topic or more drastic measures will have to be taken.


Now back to your regularly scheduled topics, folks. Have a politically correct and moderately opinionated day. Thank you.

>What was the topic?

Staying on topic in off topic is impossible perhaps?

Back to off topic - I like Shelley's duct tape idea myself.

 

[lorihart]

You guys are funny.Every time I come home Dh as the t.v up high or the radio on b/c he is trying to drown out the 3 yr old. I hope he is not going through terrible 3's and not terrible 2's...cause he just turned 3 and Im gonna have a long year:-(

On a serious side...

My son is Autistic and didn't talk until he was 5. From 4 to 5 we tried to force him to talk and use words, we would ignore or pretend not to understand his pointing and screaming/tantruming until he tried to use words. It was a year of pure hell. Ever try to have dinner with someone screaming at you?

Is the kid deaf? Is there a disability? Walk a mile in the shoes. I'm sure a neighbor or two of ours thought we were terrible.

To follow up on my son, he is now a fully mainstreamed junior in HS, Eagle Scout, plays trumpet in the band and is a yellow belt in Karate and never screams. I guess my neighbors were wrong about their opinions of us.

Dave is right. There may be some reason besides poor parenting. Maybe there is some pc and caring way you can approach the mother about the problem.

my daughter is autistic and has the ear splitting high pitched scream. after 6 years it still makes me stop and shudder LOL.it is a defense but then again its not. if there is an issue the neighbors should have th consideration to explain the situation. i told everybody when i moved here that there will be some noise and some screaming but not to be alarmed viola is autistic. and many understood and were sympathetic, just when it gets to out of control they tap on the ceiling so i know its REALLY disturbing to them. the only time they tapped on their ceiling is from me having a bad exercise day and i kept tripping off my step LOL.

i also think that you shouldn't be afraid to go over and talk about this disturbing you. its not like you have to be nasty or anything but explain that the screaming is disturbing you.i am sure if it was an issue here my neighbors would confront me in a friendly manner and discuss the situation.
