Neighbours constantly yell at kids..

Answered 2 years ago

Our neighbours constantly yell. We live in very quiet and well off neighbourhood. New family moved in two doors down few months ago. They yell at their kids all the time. You can hear them yelling at kids. Mainly the mother. Kids fighting with each other in the backyard, crying etc. Other than that you dont see them much and they keep to themselves. Ive seen the mother in the car with the kids, driving out of the street yelling at them like crazy. What the hell? Should i say something? Report it?

I'm a single mom of 3 girls and sometimes struggle with keeping my cool when they are constantly fighting, not listening or acting out. I raise my voice more than I want and feel very bad or guilty about yelling at them. So, basically I'm just here to ask for advice as single parent on how to better react to certain behavior and/or should I feel bad about yelling. Also, to ask, does yelling at kids makes me look like a bad parent? ~~Thanks~~ #LexPost...

OP you are being really judgmental here and are out of order. What you are describing is a parent that has recently undergone a big life change (moving house) with two small toddlers in tow. When they fight she yells at them not to. So what?!? How dare you go in and intervene in someone else’s life and make it seem like you are doing it out of the goodness of your heart. Like someone else on here said, I think you are annoyed because it’s ruining your idea of a ‘perfect’ street. You sound like a meddler - butt out. Go and get a hobby and leave this family alone. What you are describing is not a problem. The parents don’t argue, the Mum only yells at the kids not to fight etc, they are happy and well looked after (by your own admission). Go and find something else to whine about and leave your neighbors alone. Oh and by the way, several people have asked if you have your own children and you have ignored them. Why is that? Do you have kids? Let me guess, they are so perfect and that they never fight???

First of all, I have kids and grandchildren and I have never yelled like that at them. My children never speak to their children like that. There is no need to yell at little ones. I can hear them from my backyard, I walk my dog past their house at least twice a day. It is distressing for me to hear her shout at them, followed by crying etc. I can not say for sure she doesn’t hit them. Strange parenting style in my opinion. I thought maybe for kids sake I could get social services to check up on them or something like that. Not to mention it is annoying for our family. It is very quiet and beautiful suburb, no need to ruin it for others with behaviour like that. I think it is very selfish. Sounds like most people here think it is acceptable behaviour and healthy way of raising kids. That’s not much help for me. Thank you anyway. Might drop a note in their mailbox.

Notes are cowardly. If you don't have the courage to knock on her door and say something then don't do anything.

If you do drop a note, expect the noise to escalate. They'll be humiliated and offended.

At some point you'll have to accept you don't own the suburb. You are also no better than anyone else so cut the upper class rubbish.

OP, how long ago did they move in? Maybe it’s just taking the kids a while to adjust and things will quieten down once they’ve been in the house for a while longer. It can take kids up to a year to adjust to a new environment. Have you actually introduced yourself to the family? Maybe if you go and knock on their door and tell them that you are home a lot and notice that things get a little loud they will take the hint and try to be quieter? Go over and introduce yourself if you haven’t already and you’ll be able to tell if they are nice (but tired) parents as I suspect is the case...

Yelling on its own is not abuse- it is not illegal, and I doubt anything would be done about it if you made a report. If she is yelling nasty things at them, that could be considered abuse. For example, yelling “stop fighting” or “put your shoes on and hurry up and get in the car!” is not abuse (probably not great parenting, but not abuse). Yelling “I hate you and I wish you were never born” or “get in the car you f$&@ing c$&t” is definitely abuse. I wouldn’t leave a note- all that will do is humiliate her. If you are really concerned for them, invite the whole family over for afternoon tea and then you might get a feeling for what they are like. Hope my neighbours aren’t as judgy as you! My daughter has adhd and yells quite often, I always hope the neighbours don’t think it is me 😂

Parenting is hard I have three I don’t like yelling I get so sad when I do and it hurts me to even be strict with discipline with my kids but from experience I have kids that have a high low temperament and therefore I struggle.

If you really did want to help, the suggestion of leaving a note with referral of help services is a nice gesture or even a note expressing you’re concern but to call the cops, and any other service without chatting to them seems a bit far fetched unless you’ve seen or heard basis I’ve name calling or hitting.

I’m a mother of three a 6,5and four year old it’s tough and yes I put my foot down all the time and yell if I have two when you’re dealing with difficult situations you have to show who the parent is.

I feel like I can go on about this to be honest!

But woman are so critical and some men toward each other, we should be asking if we can help and we should out instead of giving the evil eye like my neighbour does and they live in a family of five adults with a one year old and the same with the neighbours around me 😂🥰

It’s funny so many judges people ready to think the worse rather then coming on here for advise juast reach out I’m sure she’s not going to yell at you 🤣

OP, maybe cut them a bit of slack. Kids yelling is normal and it’s pretty unfair to call them obnoxious, they are just kids. Parents getting fed up happens too. If it bothers you so much why don’t you do something? They can’t fix a problem that they don’t know about afterall. Are they your next door neighbors, I thought you said they’d moved in down the road and if they were down the road surely you wouldn’t be able to hear them in your backyard?

I’m sorry, but I think you need to see a therapist. You cannot put your issues on to a stranger, particularly when we only have one side of the story! Do not assume that a stressed mum raising her voice and asking her kids not to fight is the same as what you experienced as a child. Your response is based on your own upbringing - not an unbiased, rational view of the situation.

Also, you are now an adult and responsible for your own happiness. Blaming your parents won’t make your life better. Go and get help and focus on strategies to improve your own life.

Screaming at your kids at the top of your lungs where neighbors two doors down can hear it, along with thumping noises going on with it, is distressing and alarming to the neighbors around the house...I know that none of us are perfect, but at some point it does become abusive...it is psychologically, emotionally damaging to children to be treated this way on a regular basis...it is not normal or balanced and if the parent/parents lose control that easily then one of several things needs to happen...intervention, approaching the home during an episode and asking if there is something that you could do to help...this will give you an opportunity to possibly observe the children to see if it also includes physical abuse. Reporting it to a domestic violence/child abuse agency to confirm the safety of the children, and perhaps reporting it to the police, after so many calls, a judge may get involved and require parenting classes and additional resources to help the parent that is either overwhelmed or out of control...By ignoring this the futures of the children are already endangered and this is the type of thing that will continue to be perpetuated generation by generation, and some of the children may take it further by following the road to extreme violence or worse. I do not think that anyone should a hero, but absolutely follow your heart and think about what the children must be feeling...fear, pain, hopelessness. These types of situations can easily escalate to more violent episodes, why wait until something REALLY bad happens...I am not a busy body, but if somebody is struggling that hard with parenting they need help before it's too late for the parent as well as the children...or pets!...It is absolutely ABUSE!

Children are young, 2-3 youngest , 4-5 and looks like early primary oldest . It’s constant yelling at kids, kids crying, kids fighting. It’s usually just before I am assuming going to bed , goes quiet after 30 - 40 min. Not every night but a lot. Various times during the day. It’s annoying and doesn’t seem normal. Occasionally I get it. That’s just about every day. Yelling is telling kids to be quiet and to stop carrying on kind of yelling. A bit ironic. Never heard parents arguing. It all seems directed at the kids.
I see them walking, riding bikes etc. seem happy and well looked after. The yelling can’t be good or healthy for them. Seems like abuse to me.

It sounds like there aren’t that many families with children on your street to be honest...most streets with lots of kids aren’t very quiet! Have you met the family/ mum? Could you just strike up a conversation and talk to her and ask her how she’s going? When you see her in the street, does she seem kind and friendly? Maybe she is just exhausted...If the children look well looked after and happy and the yelling is mainly her asking them to stop fighting with each other etc. it certainly doesn’t sound at all sinister to me. You haven’t said much about the dad? How does he behave?

If you don’t want to have a conversation, maybe you could put a note in the mailbox asking them to keep the noise down? Sorry to say, families with kids are often noisy and what your describing doesn’t sound at all unusual to me. It does sound like it is disturbing you though, so definitely leave them a note - even an anonymous one asking them to keep it down.

I don’t really understand though. If the kids are fighting and she is yelling at them to stop fighting that isn’t abuse. It’s not good parenting, but it isn’t abuse.

You’re 100% correct it’s not normal and those who think it is are probably abusing their own kids. I don’t think parents realise how bad constant yelling and screaming is for children, it causes huge amounts of stress and can be considered abusive of done often. I’d be concerned too, I live in a very wealthy suburb near the city....it’s full of children but I never hear any yelling just happy kids playing loudly that’s it, sometimes kids arguing but that’s about it.

I disagree, yes yelling is not ideal but I don’t think anyone here can be telling you this is abuse if they were not there. I know a wonderful wonderful parent, who yells at her kids (constantly if they act out which one of these does as he has behavioural issues . In fact I know a few parents with kids not he autism spectrum who have been ostracised by others because they have to yell at their kids to override them ) and the kids are the happiest, most loved kids in the world. You don’t know these people - you really don’t, it sounds like you have never even spoken to them! You are understandably wanting it to be a perfect street if you have your mortgage and all, but I think this is silly to be implying it is more. This is not neglect, sexual or physical abuse. Verbal abuse is if it is more insidious and vicious which you are not describing either. Honestly- go talk to them and get to know them, offer a coffee. It’s testing for so many normally, thrown in self isolation!

So is it 'constant' yelling, or yelling just before bed?

ANSWER

I had a similar problem, my previous neighbour would scream at her children in the most vile horrendous way, calling them cunts and all sorts of things, she would wake my kids up at night with her screaming and often her younger children could be heard screaming and crying all day and it sounded as though she was leaving them in their rooms alone like that and not doing anything to attend to the children. At times we’d be sitting in our lounge room or eating dinner and out of no where the most frightening vile agressive screaming would occur, everyone in my house would withdraw in fear, even me, when friends came over they couldnt believe what we (and her children) were living with. One time i saw her drag her 11 years old from the car to the house by her hair, another time i saw her punch her 8 year old in the face.

I called the police, they told me there is nothing they can do, there is no law against verbally abusing your children, they noted the violence i saw but to my knowledge nothing was done about it. I called the police not just because her behaviour was impacting my family and i but because i had genuine fears about the safety of her kids. I was shocked to find out the police could and would not do anything.

They moved eventually and the whole street celebrated, but i always wonder about those kids, and am pretty disgusted that the law (never mind what you hear) did nothing, i always expect to hear about her kids dying alone in some filthy room somewhere, very sad state of affairs.

I once had a neighbour like this she grew up on the streets and was always screaming and swearing at her kids, her kids would steal any chance they get and lie to get other neighbourhood kids in trouble, once my son (who was 10 at the time) was playing with her son in a nearby field throwing mud at each other, one of the piles of mud my son chucked accidentally got in her sons eye so he ran home crying to his mum sayingy son had done it on purpose and was ‘bullying’ when in fact they had both enjoyed the game up until that moment, she got in her car drove to where my son was and punched him in the chest, he was so afraid he ran the back way to our house and showed us the red marks, we went straight to the police and they said unfortunately because there’s no other witnesses they can’t do anything. My husband went to her house and threatened her with legal action if she ever touched our son again. I was glad when they finally moved! As were our neighbours.

Serious though, moving house with kids is a huge stress in its own. And given the current state of the world with all this social distancing business, this stress us probably multiplied a thousand times.
Considering they are new neighbours maybe drop them a kind note and say welcome to the neighbourhood. (They might be new to the area and not know anyone nearby). Let them know you’re there if they need a hand with anything. Sometimes feeling supported makes all the difference. Get to know them and come along side this mother with support and then you’ll be better placed to decide if there genuinely is anything to report.

Try buying the family a gift basket to welcome them into the area. Fill it with lots of fun and entertaining ideas to amuse the kids over the holidays in case it is just boredom. I know my kids argue more when they are bored. Given the amount of entertaining things that kids like to do that are closed right now, boredom is a pretty strong possibility. Think of it from the kids point of view - no parks, public pools, playcentres, libraries etc The parents might normally take the kids to do fun stuff when they argue to calm them down but everything is currently closed.

No don't report them. They sound stressed and it doesn't sound abusive. All the kids in my street are currently loud because all of the kids are stuck at home because of this lockdown.

What does 'well off neighborhood' have to do with it? It means nothing. That automatically gets me off side as my biggest gripe is address snobbery. Usually it just means more debt or higher rent. It doesn't magically give you better parenting skills.

To answer your question - sometimes people are exhausted, overwhelmed and unsupported. Maybe they're terrified of being judged by neighbours who expect to live in silence while being packed into suburbia like sardines. They might desperately need a break, or a friend. It's not ideal, but even I have had yelling days when I'm at breaking point. How about offering her some help or friendship instead in judging her as abusive or unfit? It's far better to be informed than speculating.

You need to elaborate. When you say there is yelling, what sort of yelling is it? Is the mother yelling at them to stop fighting? (Not effective, but what parent hasn’t) Or is she yelling means things? Are the parents just loud, or are they fighting all the time?

I have loud neighbors, with primary school aged kids. I accept that the kids fight and make noise, it’s normal.
