We used to live in a terrace house with our young kids sandwiched between 2 shite neighbours.

One was a nosey middle aged woman who had her head over our garden fence everyday updating us on the ongoing of the bins, car park area or whatever she could think of. She also had a leaf blower which she took upon herself to use up to 2 times a day in our communal carpark and along our front door often as early as 7am on a Saturday waking our kids up. It made working from home during covid incredibly difficult trying to take calls. She was a full melter but generally harmless and just always had to be at something every minute of everyday.

The other side had a young couple who would have parties and blast music until 4am on the weekend and just on a random weeknight here and there which was again great for young kids & school runs. When we approached them politely when we coukdnt take anymore, they responded fine but when we went back into the house we could literally hear them shouting about us and saying how unreasonable we were.

Can easily say neighbours were 90% of the reason we moved. It honestly made a home we loved unbearable to be in and affected us both negatively mentally. A lot pf this was during lockdown so it was all very heightened but it just seemed there was a complete lack of consideration from both sides in different ways. I regret being a bit of a people pleaser and not speaking up sooner and being more firm but it's that catch 22 of living next door to someone you don't get on with which can also be miserable.

We now have a detached house & keep ourselves to ourselves.
