My neighbor's kids scream bloody murder for hours every day. How do I complain without appearing to be an a$$hole?
Well, in your reply below, you found your best solution. Casually work that point about laughter and screaming being two different animals into a chat if you can, tap on their door if you must. If parents don't respond or get miffed then it is a PARENTAL problem that may call for more extreme measures... Just weigh them carefully and implement them when sober two days after they occur to you, Warrior Wench... ICU in profile pic ... a force to be reckoned with!
The other day I went out and asked if everything was ok. The mom looked at me funny and told me that's just how kids are. I am going to complain to the HOA as I have a right to quiet enjoyment.
@MizJ. Ah.... But did you specifically ask her to tell them to take a big ass chill pill? Some people... and judging by voting records, Florida has more of them than most states, are so stupid you have to slap them to remind them to BREATHE. She sounds like one.
Tell to parents to "curb their spawn." I find it works well, especially because then they know that their little angels aren't angels at all.That or offer to beat their kids until they learn how to shut up and be respectful of other people. Say you will do this for the low fee of $100 per kid and 5th session is free. They should be able to figure out how annoying the kids are from that.
