Today, after two hours, I finally got my very cranky, sick baby to fall asleep. Five minutes later, a neighbor started shooting off fireworks. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, it took me 2 hours to get my toddler to sleep. Just after I got him down, my mom woke him up by banging my pots and pans around in the sink. FML
Today, I felt so unwell that I didn't fall asleep until 4 AM. The baby woke up at 5, ready to start the day. FML
Today, after hours of trying to put a screaming baby to sleep, she finally fell asleep in my arms. I was so happy. Then, I got the hiccups. FML
Today, like every year, my next-door neighbors started setting off their fireworks at exactly midnight. Also, like every year, the sensitive car alarm belonging to another neighbor has gone off with every firework. It's been almost six hours of nonstop alarms and explosions. FML
Today, I had finally gotten my dogs to quiet down and my baby to fall asleep. Not thirty seconds later, my neighbor's car alarm went off. They aren't home for the weekend, and the damn alarm has now been blaring for three hours. FML
Today, I finally got my fussy newborn back to sleep after the creaking of my chair woke her. I then crept two rooms over and opened a pack of chips, the crinkle of which woke her again. FML
Today, I was trying to get a good night's sleep before the huge exam tomorrow, which I'm extremely anxious about. The SAME night my neighbor below me is having a home birth. It lasted NINE HOURS. 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 was finally going to fall asleep at a decent hour. Having insomnia, I generally get about 2 hours of sleep. Right as I'm about to fall asleep, 5 firetrucks decide to drive right in front of my house with the sirens/lights on. FML
Today, I was trying to fall asleep. Unfortunately, my next-door neighbor's baby began to cry. I closed the window and rolled over, unable to hear the crying anymore. My dog's hearing is better than mine, and so he started barking. Goodbye, good night's sleep. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Why the **** is it so ******* hard for Americans to wait until it's actually the forth of ******* July to start shooting fireworks? I can't stand people that think ZOMG JULY and then say "It's the 4th of July" when it's actually. Still. The. Second. FYL OP.

90, I am an American actually. Born, raised, and living in Tennessee. That doesn't mean I can't hate Americans because some of them are really stupid, as can be assumed by the FML. I just dislike it when something can drive people to do things before (or after) they're called for... Oh, and I have to agree with the World Cup thing, not exactly my cup of tea either...

Next time you ask where someone lives, try clicking on their profile and seeing the location they put in... Not hard.

Yeah, I used to have a neighbor that would shoot fireworks for hours every night for about a week before and after the 4th of July. It was irritating WITHOUT a cranky baby, so I can't imagine what it's like with one. FYL

I see you're writing from New York. Fireworks are illegal in New York, so call the authorities.

Yes, how dare people shoot off fireworks near the 4th and inconvenience you. You decided to have a child, that's not your neighbor's problem. Suck it up killjoy, it'll be over by the 5th.
