After reading about other people's horror stories it has really helped me to feel a little better. I live on the first floor and the people on top of me have three children. They allow their children to run up and down all day. It is enough that I hear their walking, but to hear their children running all day is very frustrating. I could not take it any more so my husband and I went to confront them. I told them that they need to control their children, because they run up and down all day long.The husband responded that I make it sound like they have a bunch of hyenas and how can I tell them to control their children. My husband is the hypocrit. He started out by saying the noise is disturbing me, in other words it is not bothering him. The couple started acting like they have no idea what I was talking about, there children do not run up and down the house. I left my husband there talking with them, because I realized that we were not going to get anywhere. After that day the running stopped for about a week, but after that it started full storm. From morning to 11:30 their children was left running continuos. I never seen children with so much energy in my life. They must have attention deficit disorder. One day about one month later I could not take it anymore. When the children had went to sleep and it was quite I wanted to give them war. I opened the windows so that the other tenants could hear my loud screaming and started banging the ceiling and they started banging back. The wife came down stairs knocking on my door and I did not open the door and told her to leave. I was ready not to give them peace. We started exchanging words but what struck me the most was when she said that she pays mortgage and my husband and I pay only rent. I am in a studio so there is really no other room for me to go in. I told her this and at least now the children run in the other part of the house. Though it is still bad it is not so direct, so I would accept it until we find another place. I am drained out.
