I live in a triplex. My neighbor in the middle unit has 3 kids, and also the house next door has kids as well.
Now normally i don't have a problem with kids or my neighbors. But i have a serious issue with my neighbor AND her kids!
The mother: SCREAMS at her kids everyday. Yells at them from inside the house. Yells at them from her car. I mean this woman is constantly yelling! And to make matters worse.....
The kids: Screamers as well! I think they learned it from their mother, because they scream all the time right outside my window. I know kids play, and a little screaming intermittently is fine. But this is constant. To the point where naps aren't possible and studying is getting impossible as well. And it seems ALL the neighbor kids hang out in MY yard instead of their own. And I can't do a thing or they become more obnoxious, and some are older kids. Just now I finally got frustrated and went out and said "PLEASE stop with the yelling."
And guess what?
They moved closer to my window and screamed double the volume!
This is ridiculous.
On one hand I want to file a complaint with the property management.
On the other hand I don't want to piss off the mother. Sure, it's anonymous, but I have a feeling she'll know it was me who filed the complaint because the other neighbors don't seem to be home much. I'm also afraid she'll start some kind of retaliation and/or get her kids to do something. I've also only asked the kids to tone it down 2x in 5 months, but still it's more than the other neighbors because they don't play in the other neighbors' yard!
I have no way of knowing if she'd do anything because she keeps to herself.
What should I do? I want to study! I want to sleep!
