always cranky - 05:32 PM
(filed under 'general')
the cranky woman who lives in the house behind my place is really negging me out with her yelling at her kids. i think she's a single mum, since i've never heard any man's voice around there & not ever seen a guy (unless he just flies low to avoid her wrath), so that is most likely the cause for her negativity & constant anger. i'm guessing she's not coping well with looking after two pre-teen kids on her own.
whatever her issues are, though, far out, i wish she'd get over them. her constant yelling & rousing on her kids is really getting on my nerves. if i hadn't just settled here & was happy with this place, it'd almost be enough to make me move.
i suppose it's my problem, really. i have to figure out a way to not let her get to me. it's not like i can just block out her yelling by closing the windows, though. it's summer here & it's too hot, most of the time, to keep them closed .. & that aside, she often yells loud enough to be able to hear her through closed windows!
they're a very discontented family, to say the very least. i've also heard the young girl yelling at her brother to "piss off!!! just PISS OFFFFFFFFFFFFF!" other times i've heard the boy yelling back at his mum when she was going off at him. once there was some major commotion going on out the front where i'm pretty sure it was the mum yelling & screaming at one of her kids to "come back!!" sounded like one of them was on the street about to run off or having a major melt down, or something.
twice now i've seen the two kids climb up on the back corner of their fence just near my fence & the look in their eyes was quite disturbed. it's all rather sad.
If you can do it, try and make friends with her, hard as it may be. If she feels you are annoyed/disapproving, as everyone else most likely is, she won't care about disturbing you. But if you are friendly and say hello, she will like you and feel bad if she's making a lot of racket. Worth a shot!
Do you have a caretaker in your complex ? When I lived in Brissy we had a caretaker ,if so maybe you can speak to them ,and let them know your concerns.
So they can have a talk to them without revealing whom made the complaint
meeting her might not be a bad idea. if she is alone, trying to raise the kids, a friendly ear just might help. sounds like a lot of frustration on her part as well as yours.
