Today, the couple with three noisy toddlers in the apartment above mine finally moved out. A couple with a non-stop crying newborn moved in. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, at 2 in the morning, a noisy work crew started up in the parking lot next to my apartment. What were they doing at that ungodly hour? Installing a light that now shines right into my window. FML
Today, I got a new babysitting job. Every time the little girl goes to the bathroom, she screams and cries until I wipe her. She's 7 years old. FML
Today, I found myself sneaking into my apartment to avoid the old lady who lives next to me. Funnily enough, I moved into my own apartment because I was tired of sneaking into it to avoid my mom, who lived with me. FML
Today, I woke up next to my roommate staring in horror. She said I was singing and farting in my sleep. Loudly. FML
Today, I found out that my boyfriend of two years has a beautiful daughter. That's cool, except she's one year old. FML
Today, as I waited to fly home, a very attractive woman smiled and gestured towards the seat next to me. However, a hyperactive child and his mother barged past into said empty seats. The woman really hit it off with the guy behind, while I was stuck listening to a kid scream at Angry Birds. FML
Today, I woke up to a glorious sunrise, fresh coffee, and a bleached lawn. My neighbors on both sides have constantly fought with each other since before I even moved in, which I guess explains the note taped to my window saying, "Pick a side." FML
Today, I was with my 3 year-old son in the doctor's office. During the exam, he informed the doctor that he doesn't sleep in mommy's bed anymore because mommy sleeps in her underwear and farts all night long. FML
Today, my sister told me not to come over anymore because her baby is scared of my face. FML
Today, I came home from work to find my son and his friends attempting to find out how many of them could fit into one of my pairs of pants. So far, five. FML

It's a vicious cycle

If I were you, I'd invest in some earplugs ASAP

When it comes to crying babies, it's easier said than done when it comes to getting them to quiet down. I do try and apologize to my neighbors when my baby throws a fit at some ungodly hour, though.

That's very nice of you, most parents in apt. complexes think we nonparents should just "deal with it". I wish more people were like you and at least acknowledge the issue.

It makes a lot of difference whether the parents are decent people like #27. My former neighbors once asked me whether their children crying bothered me. I said "No, that's only natural", because it didn't happen often, and it usually was a gentle wail, not a piercing cry. Now I have white trash neighbors who don't talk to me at all, but I hear their toddlers yell and cry all day, except during school hours. I think they're afraid to let them play outside, and to lazy to take them anywhere, so the kids are cooped up in the apartment the entire weekend. Of course they get noisy when they can't release their energy. **** their life, and mine.

Your a giant ass I've got an idea instead if bitching about a child that can't help it why don't you get you lazy butt off the computer and out of your chair and go outside than you wouldn't have to hear the baby all the time

Dont worry op, the newborn stage doesnt last very long and when the baby becomes a toddler at least it'll only be one not three. My only child toddler is quiet

Wait until you hear the sounds of them producing babies #2 and 3 to keep up with the Joneses. Earplugs and alcohol will fix you right up.

When you have kids, you will understand how it is.

I guess it's time for you to move out.
