I don’t always leave it open it’s usually when I’m rushing to get the toddler inside and I may be carrying quite a-bit of shopping etc.
Tonight was my final straw as it was 10pm and they slammed the door again. I had cleaned my dirty pram and left it open to dry so I lost the plot as my toddler is already going through a sleep regression and I’m 39 weeks pregnant.
I retaliated for the first time by opening my door, closed the pram and slammed my front door shut.

What’s a pram?
stroller/buggy

Is it a rule to not slam a door or something? I guess it's different in the states because in the apartments here people slam their doors all the time nobody bats an eye lol it's what comes with the territory of living in an apt complex. Let them slam their doors and if you want slam yours too 🤷🏽♀️ maybe they'll get annoyed and stop maybe they wont
our apartment complex is not your common one. It’s only 2 flats on each floor with the doors facing eachother however on the side of my front door I have space to place things whether it’s a stroller, shoe rack etc

I understand its different but everything I said still applies. Unless its a restriction on that or a policy its nothing to be done except match energy. And/or ignore them . Slamming a door is childish but what can you actually do about what the next resident is doing. Again if you slam yours they may get annoyed and stop slamming theirs or may not 💯 🤷🏽♀️ Good luck hopefully it resolves itself sooner than later

That's super lame of them 😒 you're not wrong for being fed up and reacting.

Are you sure it's directed towards you? Can you go talk to her or leave her a note asking if that bother her? It's understandable to be fed up but if you start slamming your door to, things could escalate and you are about to give birth. You don't need that energy. As long your pram doesn't obstruct anything, I would just ignore her.

I think you slamming your door back is quite petty.
Have you spoken to them? Clearly they have a problem. Ask them what they think the solution is?

I wouldn't assume the two things are correlated (your pram and their slamming) but if the slamming is what's bothering you I would write a note and tape it in a common area or something. I've been in a similar housing environment with a similar situation and the note worked well, a group chat had also been established which was beneficial. I wouldn't slam back anymore though, it gives the impression that slamming isn't an issue... totally understand the fire you had behind it though lol. Best of luck!!
it’s petty for them to have an issue and not address it but rather prefer to slam doors and only do it when my pram is open. I’m so sorry but the one time I retaliate shouldn’t be classed as petty as I lost my shit for the first time and I’m only human

What do you mean by leave your pram open ??
