Has anyone had any problems with neighbours after having a baby?

My neighbour is verbally abusive, (shouting, use of profanities, etc.), stomps and bangs consistently, has told us to move, peered through my windows. The list goes on. My landlords are aware, they've warned him, they've told each of us to ignore each other, but he has only grown more comfortable. Unfortunately things always happen so quickly and im not able to record anything. Am I just supposed to live with my phone glued to me constantly recording? I have things to do and a child to care for, nor do I have the means to invest in recording devices. My child wakes up crying because he is afraid to be in his bed, it is worse now because of teething. I genuinely do my best to keep the noise brief and get him right away, but I cannot control my child. I am exhausted, discouraged and it seems as though nothing will change. The landlords will not do anything because they have no physical proof of harassment. If you have any similar experiences or have needed to take this to court, how did it go? Is it even worth it? To be completely honest im starting to feel like maybe my child is the issue or im being a terrible parent despite everyone telling me its normal.

The camera idea is a good one.

I’d put up some security cameras

Currently 22/40 with our first baby!! We plan on having 2 under 2, would it make sense to purchase a double stroller to avoid a secondary cost with the second bay?

Do I speak to the mum?

Today my daughter (5 yrs old) said that her classmate asked her, "Is your mum very very ugly & very very fat because she has too much chocolate & caffeine?" 😭I put on weight after I had kids & I dont wear makeup and I already feel so insecure about myself. I've always been bullied in school and at home for my weight, the colour of my skin, my height - everything. It just brought everything back to me. I've told my girl not to play with this girl as she's mean and fat-shamed mummy

How many words does your 15MO say?

This post is not to put anyone or their baby down especially if that baby is having difficulties I’m just curious how many words other children My daughter‘s age are saying because she surprises me. She’s been saying words since she was about 2 1/half months old it started with little words like go out dad mama and she’s already at the point where she’s repeating random words out of nowhere I didn’t think kids started doing that till they were a bit oldershe says far more than 25 words at this point I couldn’t even name them all and like I said every day she says something new she repeats words out of nowhere and I didn’t think a kid that young really started repeating repeating words, unless they’ve sat down and it’s been worked with saying that word but she’ll just say things out of nowhere. She’s already starting to try to put two words together and at her doctors appointment yesterday her doctor told me that that’s actually a skill for two-year-olds what do y’all think and how much is your 15 month old saying?

Sick note due to mental health

Hi everyone,
I am currently almost at the end of my 2nd months of fit note due to mental health, this is the first time going 2 months and above . Now i am thinking of getting a 3rd fit note due to the fact i feel i still not all that strong to resume work. My question now is, do gp give you a 3rd one which makes it 3 months of being off from work or it s not allowed?

I’m so fucking exhausted.

I just want to be able to sleep through the night. I’m so fucking tired. Idk what I’m doing wrong. Idk what is waking her up. Idk how to get her to stop waking up constantly. She doesn’t sleep more than 4hrs at a time. And even then she’s tossing and turning. These last two nights it’s every fucking hour she’s awake and upset and I’m spending ten to twenty minutes trying to soothe her back down. The only time she doesn’t move an inch is when she is sleeping on me and I don’t feel comfortable co sleeping. I also need space. I’m fucking touched out. I’m breaking down every single day because I’m so fucking exhausted. I’m miserable. I don’t want to do this anymore. Like I am just so fucking exhausted. This is mostly a rant but if you have ideas on how to make a baby sleep through the night send them my way.
