To Annie, please: Right now, my husband, I, and our four kids live in a first-floor apartment. I adore this since it eliminates the need for me to remind the kids to be careful not to wake the downstairs neighbors. But our college neighbors upstairs are quite heavy-footed and constantly sound like they’re going on an adventure. Only once, during a video game party, did we speak with them and ask them to refrain from yelling uncontrollably whenever someone won or lost. They calmed down a little and were okay with that.One of the young males living in the apartment recently obtained a girlfriend. In the room that my husband, our infant, and I share, their adult activities are clearly audible. This often wakes the infant and prevents any sleep for any of us. Their voices are audible, and their bed is incredibly squeaky. Every night at ten, every morning at five, six, or seven, and now every afternoon, there are activities. I am at a loss on what to do. — A tired mother
To My Weary Mother: You can try leaving a message for your neighbors or bringing up your complaints with your landlord or property manager if you don’t feel up to another in-person encounter. This unit is undoubtedly not adhering to the quiet hours that are set by the majority of complexes. Even though this kind of conversation can be difficult, speaking up could benefit the entire facility.
