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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

wow u are a bitch and I know exactly how she feels because I have a 3 month old and yes we did choose to have babies but anyone should have respect period for other people. i wouldn't go shoot fireworks off in my neighborhood all hours of the night because I know people are in the bed and they want to get sleep too not just winy babies. and yes it sucks when they are sick because there is nothing u can do to help them. and when u finally get them to calm down enough to go to sleep and u have a Hugh sigh of relief that u can finally sit down and something like that happens u think... are those people stupid, pray the baby doesn't wake up, and then when they do you automatically go back into mommy mode and help the child. she wasn't trying to make u feel sorry for her but it does suck when u finally get them asleep and something just wakes them up. :)

LoL. "Anyone should have respect for other people. Period." Because calling someone a bitch is totally respectful? Hypocrisy fail. How do you know what time of night this happened? It could have been 9:00 or 10:00. Do you hate the 4th of July in general because it's an inconvenience to you as a parent?

Emrysa, how is it that you have two arguments going on on the same Fml; and you seem to be winning both? Also, both arguments are over the same thing.. So why bother?

As someone poignantly suggested below, I probably just have too much time on my hands, Raleigh, my friend. lol
Raleigh_bruh 7
Ah, well, I guess as long as you make your point in the argument it's fine. Now, if you were to just sit here and argue without any perception of where you wanted the argument to go - I would say you were using that free time a little unjustly. :P Cheers though, you made sense with your posts.

Ah, I know very well what I believe, and won't deviate from it, but I believe you're right, at this point it's probably no longer time well spent. Thank you though. :)

You're very welcome. :]

Even without the child it's a douchebag move. Besides I don't think people should be punished for having children. Having a child doesn't give your neighbor a free pass to act like an ass hat.

Poor sick munchkin. =( Should record and blast the sound of your crying baby at your rude neighbors! Emysra probably still lives with their mom. Wow too much time and angst. Anyone who chose YDI should be trapped in a room with a dozen pissed off babies.

u could call the cops on them, or at least in some places u can. where I live it's illegal to pop fireworks in town.
