pfft, as long as you're in a building that isn't designated adults only, then don't you sweat it. you're paying your rent, you have as much right to be there as anyone else. don't let some jerk start dictating the way you live your life. let him move if he's so jammed up about it. being a young parent with a small child is enough stress, don't add to it with someone else's complaints.  |

Oh and as for going to the manager, we probably will...we have a pretty good relationship with him. So if they don't call hubby about it today, I'll probably have him call down there tomorrow.  |

Nope, it's not an adult only complex. But there is only one other child....That I know of. Both his parents work so he spends the day at daycare...their technically in the building across from us though. So even if he was screaming bloody murder I wouldn't know  Move we really want to. Next month would be the absolute soonest. Problem is we're waiting to hear on a few jobs that could take us anywhere in the country pretty much. Which is why we haven't looked into seriously just moving somewhere else in the city. |

i lived in 3 different apartments the first 16 years we were married. my daughter was born while we were living in one. i have lived upstairs, downstairs and beside. your neighbor seems to have nothing to do all day and feels the need to occupy his time making trouble for the other neighbors. call your landlord/manager and explain what's going on. but before you do that you might want to invest in a tape recorder. record some of his noise throughout the day or for a few days. make sure you note the time and the date when you are recording. offer to let the landlord listen to it. you are insiide your own home so i don't see how you would be breaking any laws by recording him.  |

I agree with Moma Bug. This guy sounds like he is just a pain in the rear. I've done my share of apartments, and no matter what, you hear other people. It's just the way it goes. He needs to get over it, or buy a house or something. I wouldn't worry about CPS though, like you said, they would probably laugh.  |

tell him to suck it up. I hate people like that. I bet your a great parent, and Let him call CPS, they will see that your a good parent and then you could take him to court for slander. Again dont sweat it. Instead.. feel bad for your neighbor, and pray for him because his life must have no meaning and be so boring that he has to complain about you and your family all the time.
Peace-- Josh  |

Thanks for the advice and cheering up guys. I needed it. I think hubby and I are going to have a long talk about it. After this we're definately done with apartments. Unless it's very very short term. We'll have to rent a house first I think but I'd much rather do that then go through this again. I talked to my mom too....and she was able to calm me down significantly...hubby has a bunch of friends in law enforcement (though we aren't in their jurisdiction) and may get some advice from them too.... |

Personally, I'd tell the neighbor that you do your best to keep quiet, but that babies are going to make some noise, and he's just gonna have to deal with it. Seriously, what can he do? Call the police and report a loud baby? Be louder than he already is?  |

See if the Apt Management has another apt you can move into....if not...get on the list to move...You have the right to complain just as much as he does...He is probably just miserable with himself.  |

Sounds like he needs something better to do with his time. Kids cry, that's life. If she cried everyday all day, non-stop, then I could understand his complaint. Noise is something goes along with living in an apartment. We're living in an actual complex for the first time, obviously not as quiet as our last place, but nothing loud enough to complain about. I'm with the above mentioned advice, I'd go to the manager, let him know what's going on, and try and forget about it. It's easier said than done, but I really would try not to worry about it. Live your normal life. Good luck.  |

The neighbor is a control freak, and in serious need of some Psych meds. I went through that situation, once, and just about had a nervous break down before I finally got fed up and went to the apartment management and explained to them what was going on. You can't stop your neighbor from running his mouth, but you sure can curtail the effects of his crap. I know you probably want to live in peace with him, but he's doing this because he probably doesn't think you will do anything about it. Go stand up for yourself, and your right to live in peace! Thank you for sharing....Merry Christmas...  |

He's stomping around again...even my floors jiggle a bit....this is so stupid  ....and now the shower starts. Not talking loud enough for me to understand. BAH....Apartments. Still haven't had that chat with hubby, he's working late tonight so likely really won't get to talk til sometime tomorrow. Kiki I've thought about that...seeing if we can transfer a lease....and explain the situation. We may look into that. only downside though is I'm not sure there are many complexes within our landlords.....lording.....LOL that allow dogs. So I don't know how affective that will be...but I may look into that....now dear neighbor is hacking up a lung. lovely... |

Here's what you do.... Nothing! Carry on with you daily lives, dont change a thing. If he calls you hang up or change your number... if stops you to complain.... tell to call the management or the police. People like this are known for who they are and after awhile nobody listens or pays any attention to what they say. Call management and tell them he is harrasing you.... Call the police and tell them he is harrasing you on the phone and in the complex and you think he's a nut case, that you fear him... Get that on record. Then make all usually sounds a family makes.  |

Oh he doesn't have our phone numbers. it's just he's a loud talker and we can hear him complaining in his apartment about us. (if that makes sense..) |
