my x-mas panto-

guide= the letters are the first letter of swear words.


1.45 am curtains open..
background a baby screaming..
enter stage left- knuckle dragger female
enter stage right- knuckle dragger male
dialogue.. (shouting)
kdm- your turn to sort the kid out
kdf- f off its your turn
kdm- b its yours
kdf- f you, you c its always my turn
kdm-get off your fat a and sort the kid out
kdf-p off im f off with this s
kdm- i dont give a s get the f up
background -the baby continues to scream
kdf- oh for f sake
kdm- f kid
kdf- f kid
kdm- ill do it for the f peace and f quiet
background -baby goes quiet
curtains close....
next showing in 24 hours...

and so to my options,
1) a kd cull- i dont fancy prison food
2) a past chat with kdm, kdf- apologies about conduct but no change
3) a chat with council (they are council tenants, i own) was informed when the flat was allocated to the couple the council did not know that the baby would cry??? obviously a barren female allocater!
4) earplugs- dont work
5) go into work half asleep at the wheel cause a 20 car pile up?
6) asbo's do they work?
7) move house but lose 60% mortgage discount -a lot of dosh
any further ideas?

back off to sleep- i think..............

Sounds like a scenario for the Jeremy Kyle Show!

Unfortunately, Tony, I dont see theres much that you can do. Babies cry, parents get tired and irritable (no need for the foul language, I agree) and its sleepless nights all round.
Your only consolation is that, sooner or later, baby will sleep through. (And grow up, and have wild parties )

Oh boy, that sounds like hell!! You've got my sympathy there mate, you feel pretty damn helpless in these sort of situations. Having had 2 kids of my own I know what it's like when you can't stop them bawling their heads off. I used to find the only way of stopping my first son from screaming his head off during the night was to get up, strap him in the baby seat in the car and go for a drive for half an hour and he'd be snoring his head off by the time I got back, but it didn't help my lack of sleep!!
In your situation though, it's totally out of your control and it's difficult to know what to do for the best. Are these people that you can talk to about the problem or are are they likely to bite your head off? (Judging by the conversation they have with each other this sounds unlikely.   Are they council tenants? in which case it might be worth talking to the council to see if they can help in any way. As a last resort, maybe speak to your GP and ask for some sleeping tablets for a short period.
Hope you get it sorted mate.

Reminds me of an old burglars trick in Liverpool, Bob. Out at night in the car, looking for a suitable premises to enter illegally, always have a bottle of fresh milk in the back seat. If you get a tug, you've just been to the all-night garage for milk for crying baby. Ahhh.

I would go and see the neighbours again and point out that it still hasn't got any better since the last time you spoke to them, then if it carried on I would pester the council as they have an obligation. I would also keep a diary of the times and duration of the noise as this is the first thing the council will ask you to do. I know you cannot stop a baby crying thats a fact of life but the screaming parents can be delt with.

Hope you get a good kip soon

Cheers for replies, been to just about everyone over this, council, occupational health, my managers, solicitors all have shrugged their shoulders. i understand babies cry had one myself 11 years ago but i just need some sleep, i believe the council should not place babes in close proximity flats.  but have found out today that the council have been into the small group of flats and have ripped their heads off (so i have not been the only one to complain). the couple are not intimidating in any way (probably would be to someone else though) ive dealt with enough "funny people" during my time in the army but they are the sort of people to not grasp the seriousness of the situation. anyway they are on a "written warning" from the council so lets see what occurs from now on.......zzzzzzzzzzz
sorry dozed off !! pandaize tone.
