A mum has taken to the internet to ask if she's being unreasonable about her demands regarding her neighbours. She said she lives in a "nice area" in a detached house and has a small baby.





Taking to parenting website Mumsnet, she said: "During the summer, there was a basketball hoop placed outside on the public space, we live in a cul de sac, so it was in an awkward place but we let it go. However, the basketball was being played day and late into evening.My little girl needs to have her naps and I work from home. I asked the neighbours could they ask kids to not play after 7pm in evening due to sleep time for my baby. I am the only one with a baby. I was received with bitterness and intimidation by one set of parents, nothing said but extremely intimidating behaviour like staring in my window while walking past.





Now the other parents who obliged to the 7pm cut off, have stopped bringing in my bins, they bring in all the other neighbours' bins but leave ours outside, this has been a few weeks. Again, I don't really care but can someone explain to me what the heck is going on?Was I really being unreasonable asking for the noise to stop at 7pm? It was non stop all day which I didn't mind but night time for my baby is important. I'd like to hear opinions please."


The mum also specified that the kids playing outside were aged between 10 and 16 years old. Other parents quickly took to the comments to slam the mum.One said: "Unless your neighbour is employed as a refuse collector by the local council to collect refuse on your street, they're under no obligation to bring your bin in. They're annoyed at you that you asked their kids not to play out at 7pm. Which personally, I would be annoyed about too."
