Today, I met my new upstairs neighbors and their 4 kids all under the age of 6. I met them due to all the thudding coming from upstairs. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I met my new upstairs neighbors. They have a four-month-old child and appear to be firm believers in the "let them cry it out" philosophy. The baby's room is right above mine. A few days of trying to sleep through this shit and I'll look like a Walking Dead extra. FML
Today, after months of peace and quiet since January, a new family moved into the apartment below me ten minutes before I was about to go to sleep. They've been here for 30 minutes and already they're stomping and banging doors all over the place. FML
Today, after hearing them stomp around all summer, my upstairs neighbor’s obnoxiously loud kids finally started school. Now I get to hear them get up at 6:30am and stomp around while they get ready. FML
Today, I got a new upstairs neighbor, a fucking breeder with three brats and a screeching newborn. They’ve barely started moving in their shit and I can hear the howls already. It’s not fair to put them in upstairs apartments above people just trying to enjoy some peace and quiet. FML
Today, I found out my upstairs neighbors filed a noise complaint against me for banging on the ceiling every night. They conveniently left out the part where they constantly stomp, shout, and do stuff that sounds like they're dropping bricks to the floor every night. FML
Today, my new neighbours moved in. I've neither seen nor spoken to them yet; all I know is that they enjoy hammering at the walls for hours on end and repeatedly setting off the fire alarm. All this in the small hours of the morning. I got two hours of sleep. FML
Today, my downstairs neighbours screamed at me for making so much noise that I woke their children up and made them cry. The noise was the sound of a loose floorboard shifting as I crept to my bathroom, and again on my way back to bed. They've sworn to get me evicted. FML
Today, I saw my upstairs neighbor outside getting the mail. She asked how my day was, and then apologized that the sound of her baby's crying through the walls kept me up last night. Apparently she heard me when I yelled at 2am for her fucking demon spawn to shut up. FML
Today, I found out that there's a very loud and frisky couple living above my bedroom, and a family with a crying baby living above my living room. At this rate, I'll end up sleeping in the bathtub in my own home. FML
Today, my new neighbors moved in. I was assured that it would be a family with two teenagers. The young children playing in the front yard suggested otherwise. This wouldn’t be so bad if I wasn’t autistic, and sensitive to the sounds of screaming kids. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'd definitely consider buying earplugs.

No matter how hard they try, they may not be able to keep all the kids quiet. They will probably try, but kids will be kids OP. Hang in there.

Well then they should have been considerate to their neighbours and rent/purchase a ground floor apartment. Furthermore someone with six kids should ensure they have financial stability for a house.

First off, it's four kids. Second off, financial stability doesn't always go hand in hand with unplanned gaining of a child. In fact, it usually doesn't. Regardless of whether said obtainment is through pregnancy, merging families with a significant other, or suddenly having custody of a deceased loved ones' kids. Three, the not-ground floor apartment may have been the one the manager chose for them, or the only availability.

Here we see why living on the top floor is nice.

I've had the same thing above me for the past year. After many polite phone calls and passive aggressive ways of showing my displeasure we have finally come to a way of solving the issue... I'm moving.

I hate it when the inconsiderate people win.

4 kids all around toddler age? I'm sure the parents have it worse than you. You just gotta deal with noise, they have to deal with actually trying to control them.

It's not like they were forced to have so many young children.

At least you don't have 4 kids under the age of 6

You can't expect kids not to be kids. Unless they're behaving in outrageous ways, the fault lies with poor construction, not with this family. Talk to the landlord about soundproofing or moving to another apartment.
