Having a toddler is not an excuse to make your downstairs neighbor's life a living hell, amirite?

I'm in a town home, and the three year old next door sounds like an elephant running around, so I hear ya.

Ever parented a toddler? I agree with "take them to the damn park", help them spend their energy. However, that's not always possible, and just "sitting their asses down" makes me actually LOL. They're little irrational monsters with a nearly limitless supply of energy. Having them not do everything you described above is WAY easier said than done.

They obviously have not.

If you've already talked to them about it then it's time to file a complaint

File away, I sincerely doubt the landlord/management is going to care about daytime toddler noise.

Imagine not wanting to listen to stomping, screaming, and crying all day! The gall of some people!

It isn't "being such a Karen" if it's constant and interrupts their life every single day. That's a reasonable thing to be upset about.

How is this an unpopular opinion?

Because parents can't always take their kids to the park, and even if they do, the kid is going to have times when they still run around and make a bunch of noise That is the parent's problem to solve

it's not a problem for parents

by Altruistic-West 3 months ago

Toddlers, uh, tend to do that. The parents have duties that they need to attend to as well, and may not be able to be on the kid 24/7. However, since you as a tenant do have rights, if you mentioned the issue to your upstairs neighbors and they made no effort to prevent the noise and disturbances from there on, I would say to file a complaint.

apartment dwellers have no rights to make anyone else be quiet. it's an apartment. buy a house.

how do I send this to my upstairs neighbor 😭

That kid needs to learn how to walk. Yea, you can go to park, but you cant be there 24/7. Our upstair neighbours had todler, we heard him every day. Not once I through its something I should complain about. I was same as todler and so was everyone else.

not unpopular, plenty of poor people like you think because you can't afford privacy, children have to be quiet in their own homes.

by Anonymous 3 months ago

Who said they have to be absolutely quiet? I understand toddlers are gonna make noise, but to the point where it's all day with no let up. That just means the parent is being inconsiderate

by Maraboehm 3 months ago

maybe you should go to the park

I'm not the one that brought the kid

by Maraboehm 3 months ago

I understand that, it's the lack of trying that's irritating I suppose

by Maraboehm 3 months ago

So can OP throw a loud party and scream all day? And not care if it wakes the napping toddler? Seems fair

"Just buy a house" is a solution in the same way "just have money" is a solution

Telling a parent of a toddler to "sit their ass down" is a solution in the same way "just tell the shark to not bite people" is a solution.

by djohnston 3 months ago

It's a solution in the sense that if you don't want to share walls then don't rent an apartment/

by Fatima91 3 months ago

Yeah, just have the money to buy a house. Just have it, it's fine.

by CertainYoghurt 3 months ago

But you did choose a shared living situation and there are, you know, other people in a shared living situation. Honestly invest in earplugs and get over it. Toddlers go to bed early anyways.

What does that entail? Putting kids in cages? Toddlers will run around. They will fall. They will cry. They will drop things. Guess what. You did it too
