Apartment living😤

Don’t care as much about your neighbor, your kiddo comes first,
Let her be a toddler .. If your neighbors wanted quiet they should have rented a top floor apartment.

I understand. I want to get a house so bad. We live on the lower floor and our upstairs neighbors are always yelling and stomping at night when I’m trying to get my baby to sleep. It’s very irritating. Not to mention it’s only one bedroom.

I relate so bad
I try not to care or just try my best I should say. But at 9 am is when it’s okay all the before that I’m so anxious
Thankfully not my whole apartment
Just my kitchen but still breakfast time.. so hard

Let her be a toddler! We’re on the bottom floor thank goodness but our upstairs neighbors are so loud at night. My toddler sleeps through it but it bothers me lol I ignore it. They have a dog and a 7 yr old 🤷🏻‍♀️

Why do you say they hate you? What have they done?

they have left us a super long note telling us to be quiet. It was nice enough but it still sucked. They pound on the ceiling even in the middle of the day when she is walking around. We have heard her screaming if my lo is having the zoomies…. It’s not great

I am on the first floor with a toddler and I just let her be herself. Neighbours don’t have a choice in that. Why do I have to stop her. Now we are expecting second baby so I am just going to let them be themselves. No stopping

if we were on the first floor, I wouldn’t care as much. Nothing I can do about her screaming and whatnot, it’s the stomping, jumping and dropping heavy toys that’s the problem. They were upset at us when she started to walk because she was using her walker around the house. Every time they pounded on the ceiling, we would get louder to be petty. But we are trying to be nicer now I guess.

My husband and I live in the second floor. We are in the middle units. My daughter is 5 months old and our upstairs neighbor is the loudest person I’ve ever heard. They are always stomping and banging on the floor. They have woken my daughter up multiple times in the middle of the night. I don’t think there is much I can do even if it is after midnight. Any suggestions.

first floor I meant upper floor 😄, cause here they say ground floor and upper floor so the neighbours can feel all the movements and jumping but I also understand your point of view and is a difficult situation

My question is would you want someone doing this above your head if you were on the first floor? This is my first time, living on the first floor and it is my last. My upstairs neighbor is so loud, mind you it’s only one person that lives up there, but they make noise all day and all night. I had to call the front office, and I had to call Protective Services, to go up there because I’m tired of the noise. I’ve been in my lease a year and I’ve never had peace and quiet. Mind you when we moved in here, My son was seven months old, so I get woken up out of my sleep and so does my kids with the noise upstairs. I’m not afraid to take my broom and bang up on that ceiling upstairs or throw a tennis ball repeatedly. Maybe talk to your neighbor about a timeframe for your baby to play, like my baby’s gonna play between this and this time, but if the noise just gets too loud, just bang on the ceiling or shoot me a text. Also not everyone works during the day.!

Not yet, but when my daughter was younger we lived on the second floor. A few times when she ran around the downstairs neighbor would come running up saying she's shaking the pictures on her wall!
We might have move out of the trailer we have now. But I have an autistic 5 yr old whose really loud! I'm nervous if we move into an apartment.

Well, you could get some rugs.

they get mad no matter what time it is that she is making noise

we have done that but it only slightly helps

Omg let your toddler be a toddler!!!!! As long as it’s not super early in AM it’s fine. Don’t give her more screen time than you typically would just for your neighbors sake!! I agree w everyone else here, unless it’s the hours of 10pm-7am, neighbor can deal!!
Try to do outings- maybe even get some area rugs to help w the noise to make you feel better ?
But seriously, don’t worry about the neighbor. I’ve had SOOOO many noisy upstairs neighbors stomping around that didn’t even have kids

she likes to wake up around 6am so weve had her on the couch until 8 at the earliest. If she is super hyper, we take her on an outing. We got some rugs to help dampen the noise, but we have super old hardwood floors that creek if you look at them the wrong way. During the day though, if they are banging on the ceiling, we just ignore them and move on. Thankfully, her grandparent watch her during the week while we are at work so she gets plenty of stomping time during the day.

We're in the upstairs unit. When my baby was learning to crawl, our neighbor was pounding on the ceiling and even came up and yelled at us for being too loud. And went on about how we are always loud at all hours, super early in the morning and in the middle of the night. We have 2 dogs also but she never complained before and we asked multiple times. Our baby goes to bed late and sleeps in so it's very quiet until about 9 in our house. But luckily she moved out. When our new neighbors moved in, we did let them know we have a baby who was learning to walk. We do our best to make sure he isn't continuously banging something on the floor. But there isn't much you can do about the typical toddler noises. I'm glad you have a landlord who is understanding if your neighbor makes complaints. I would just try to find quieter activities to do in the morning when she wakes up, playing with stuffies, sensory play, stories, quiet music. I know it's hard to keep a toddler quiet, it almost makes them want to be louder.

I’m in an apartment too :( I’d say let her go crazy. My neighbors love seeing my LO outside or in passing. They’ve known her since she was a wee baby it’s honestly cute. But I’m sure they hate us sometimes but we can’t really do anything about it especially with housing prices so expensive 😭😭

You’re not alone — toddlers are meant to run, stomp, and be loud. Let her be a toddler; she won’t be like this forever. You’re doing your best, and that’s more than enough.

really odd that they are even home during the day?? Definitely ignore the banging lol I think 8am-10pm all is free rein lol but it’s very nice of you to be considerate before 8am for sure!! Maybe get some interactive books and little people sets for those first couple hours. Those keep my LO busy! Maybe a play sink/kitchen. Anything to make your life easier.

we have the play kitchen and we try to bring her toys up on the couch, but she just wants to go play on her little slide or run up and down the hallways haha! We do our best

It is what it is. If they don’t like it then they need to afford something better. Your child is too young to understand what’s going on so I would focus on what you can control. And the one thing you can’t control is your neighbors feelings.
