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

Aw shit, you should see all the babies I woke up stomping in Tokyo! Mothra is still pissed at me for waking up her larvae!

The world does not stop just because you have a baby. The world will not be quiet just because it is baby's nap time. You need to learn to accept this simple fact. Sucks if baby woke up, but considering some of the noise I've seen babies sleep through I really don't see the big deal. Most babies can sleep through anything.

I hate people who set off fireworks for like a week before and then a week after independence day. my neighbors go buy fireworks that are illegal in my state because they shoot up into the air and they are incredibly loud. save it for the fourth please.

Ugh, that sucks. We have people shooting illegal fireworks all around our place-not great when you live with 2 people who have to get up to work at 4 am, and a cat who is terrified of loud noises (though it's nothing compared to having a scared baby). Cops have posted the "report fireworks number" everywhere, but don't do shit when it gets called. I don't really see how you deserve to have your baby be upset by this. You aren't asking the world to stop, you're just asking your neighbor to not be a prick.
