Some people can really get other peoples backs up.

Why is it that some people do not care about anyone else, except from themselves.You get the parents that do not care where their child/children are, aswell as who they let look after their children,or what their actions are as an adult looking after other peoples children.Then you get the so called adults getting drunk and then disturbing the neighbour hood,by shouting at the top of their voice waking yours and everyone elses house hold up, with children that should be indoors when it is gone midnight.I am glad that a few people have put a complaint in.

hi jugsjugs just read the first response and was appalled. blaming it on the children , saying they caused parents to get drunk. thats such a cop out , and sometimes my child misbehaved but I did not get drunk. I made him take time out and made him understand that what he did was wrong. Parents are supposed to parent, children are their responsibility , not the neighbors.Children are not adults and adults should be grown up enough to accept the responsibility of caring for children.There to me is no excuse for getting drumk because of your children.

Oh yes you are right there Hatley.I have six children and i would never get drunk and blame it on the children.I think that there are alot of people out there that have children and palm them off on other people not caring if the person who is with the child is drunk,or worse still knows that the person is drunk,only to cause trouble,or even brawl on the street.The children should be with a responsible adult,its the parents that are at fault not the child.With children getting packed off to any where aswell as every where,rather than the parent or parents spending time with the children.If people can not handle the drink,then they should not be drinking it.

I can certainly understand the high levels of stress as I live it every day, but not a once have I resorted to over doing such as getting drunk over my stresses. I certainly can understand people wanting to get a drink or two to relax and unwind especially when dealing with so much crap in life. However getting belligerent and acting a fool after a night of drinking is absolutely no excuse for anyone to disturb me especially while I sleep. We have new tenants above u and it has happened at least twice this last month and it is getting to the point that next time I run in to them I will let them know how I feel. I usually do not run into them at all so it will be eventually, they better hope they don't do it anytime soon as I am going to give them a piece of my mind.

I think that there are alot of people out there that do like a drink,i like a drink once in a while,like you say we all live with things that are stressful in our lives.The people that tend to get drunk on a week night are usually the people that are the ones with out a job,so do not care about all the people that have to get up to go to work,also these are the people that do not care how many children are also trying to sleep.I heard people shouting at the person who was with a child to shut up,aswell as shut her up before i do,i also know that there was also someone talking about it to someone saying that people have complained about that tenant.

It's why we have laws, rules. There will always be people that do the wrong thing and make life difficult or miserable for others. Some people have standards and values and set a good example and then there are those who only think of themselves and never consider how their behaviour affects others.

Compassion has to be taught to most people. The two people I believe werer born compassionate were Mother Theresa and Pope John Paul II.The rest of us are not saints so need someone to teach us. If we don't get taught compasion at a early age , we never learn it. And that's why there are many selfish people these days. For one reason or another they wern't taught to think of others. So they only think of themselves. It is sad because the more selfish we are a society , the weaker we become. If everyone is Only concerned with themselves, then No one will help others. Everything that needs people work together will not get done, and that's about 90% of everything we do. We will be doomed.

this happened to me last week,my daughter walked to the shop with a friend of mine who was drunk,my daughters 13,when they left my friend was a happy drunk,and i know that if my daughter had any problems she would either ring me or leave my friend and come home,it was only bout 9;30pm,it was only a 10 minute walk to shop and then they were going back to hers,where her sober boyfriend was waiting for her,so i had no concerns at all,but later on in the evening after returning to hers she got cross about something,and my daughter rang and asked me to collect her,which was fine,my daughter wasn't in any danger and she knew when enough was enough

I have no clue why there are people that are like this, however, it seems that more and more in life the majority of the people that I encounter are very self-centered people. I was brought up in a household where we learned to care about others and to honestly put ourselves last. That said, people that don't care about people other than themselves are really one of my pet peeves in life. I don't understand how it is that people can be like that.

It sounds like it has been busy in your neighborhood, in a not very nice way. I would complain loudly. People do not seem to respect each other very much any more.

I can think of two girls that have children that expect anyone else in the house to take care of their children and if no other older person is there then they have to fend for themselves. It's a shame that girls even woman are having babies and only use them to get people to do things for them because they have a babies or babies. I'm sick of it! The babies need a home where they can be cared for and loved and learn what it's like to have a normal home. One of these girls is like you say about getting drunk and then causing trouble, sending people to jail with her lies and then not pressing charges on them. She is a trouble maker and enjoys causing trouble. She does not like things to be going good and when they seem to be she stirs trouble up again. I just don't get it why people will be like this.

i don't know exactly. i guess they got low brain volume so they can't take alot in. or maybe they really love their environment around them more so its hard to get their attention, in other words they got a greater pleasure for reward. well in the case of people waking me up in the neighborhood i would use some earplugs. yeah, i know your probably thinking i shouldn't have to put earplugs in due to noise pollution while sleeping in my own home. well like i say whatever works but i know that must stink. i personally loved those midnight hours as a kid along with other houligans, *I mean friends, I meant friends* have a nice day

Oh boy jugsjusgs! Isn't it disturbing when the neighborhood children disturbs the neighborhood like that? I also have to deal with stuff like that. The teens in my neighborhood likes to stay out real late and get high in front of the building and make all kinds of noise. Last night I had to close my bedroom window because the smoke from their smoking was coming into my room. I was truly annoyed and they dont seem to care

I believe some have bad gen since they were born, and some others got bad influence from the environment. And there are people who experienced bad things that it changed they way of thinking about others.

We have neighbours who hold a late BBQ a few times over the summer, but it's not so regular to be an issue. More of an issue are the two old ladies next door who have nothing better than to spy on us, and complain about everything we do- going so far as to lament my recent installation of a water but. I did not realise that our garden was public property. I hung some shelves at 2PM on a Saturday, which brought walking sticks banging the party wall.

Because they were raised that way. Sadly some kids are spoiled when little and grow up thinking that people owe them whatever they want. And in this day and age it is excepted that people get just what they want. They should not get away with being loud after certain hours and i would call authorities or worn them or whatever needs to be done so that they know that in this area it will not be tolerated.

I can only remember one time when any of our neighbors disrupted our sleep in the middle of the night, and that was because their daughter's boyfriend brought her home too late. Her father was none too happy.

WEll, dah? the first response sucked.........I wouldn't blame the kids for a parent being drunk at all. I am now thinking maybe it's the parents who are bad and they are the ones who need a whipping...... I have a neighbor who has a little girl and a teen age boy and they are about the same category as you are talking about. I always tried to be a good example for my son and when I see and hear all this it just irks me. I hope you get the neighbor straightened out. I would like to here too... hugs, quita
