[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, remember - treat people how you want to be treated. There may be a time when you want peace, and your neighbor makes a lot of noise that bothers you and your family. You won't have legs to stand on, if you disregard their frustrations now. [/quote]

I went over twice with an apologetic heart. That's exactly how I wish to be treated. Thanks for reminding all of us of this very honorable rule. [/quote]

Sure, but "disregarding" doesn't mean going over with an "apologetic heart." It means making an effort to change, not just say "sorry." In general in life, apologies are meaningless without a concerted effort to change. [/quote]

Obviously, the OP doesn't really want an answer to her question, "Am I being unreasonable" unless everyone agrees with her.  This is evident by her calling opposing views the work of 'jokers.'

OP, why did you post this here?[/quote]

I feel it's going to be a long thread..

OP, your neighbor sounds like a peach, but you are not as innocent and neighborly as you believe yourself to be. Yes, your children make noise, and yes, it exceeds the allowed levels, at least occasionally, so your neighbor's complaints are not completely groundless.

Someone said earlier that there are no winners in this situation, and I tend to agree. However, there're steps you can take to help resolve the situation.

Take your children outside to run. Tell them not to scream inside. You won't be able to totally eliminate the noise but, hopefully, it will make things for your neighbor a bit better and you'll be able to say that you've made a good faith effort to improve the situation.
