so way too long between posts again but what ever.
so i'm having a hard time letting this damn thing go so hopefully putting it up here will help get it off my mind. we have some next door neighbors with kids. fine, i don't care that much. that is until they are in their pool at night making all kinds of noise and it's past 10 maybe getting close to 11:30.
this has been a continuous problem that got better a while back because we think someone else complained to them as the kids were going inside by about 10 which is the curfew here. ok fine, whatever.
before this i was a proponent of either calling rancho pd out to tell them to be quiet or simply go over to the fence and ask them to be quieter as we are literally being kept awake by them, intentionally or not.
one thing to keep in mind is the parents aren't home much and this is part of the problem for when the kids are around as their is little to no parental supervision which is my first main issue and i blame that solely on the parents, not the kids along with the whole noise problem we have at night b/c once again, that comes down to parenting which seems to be severely lacking. anyway.
so it happened again tonight. i'm in my room studying and all i get for back ground noise is their shrieks and laughter. i was going to let it go again b/c i thought i was the only one and then my mom walked into my room and asked a question and i figured out really quick that they had either woken her up or been keeping her awake.
so i say lets call someone about this, this is ridiculous. she agrees so we go to call and apparently i put the number in wrong and when she took the phone i thought she wasn't able to get through either so i said 'screw it' went out back and got the kids attention and simply said that i understood they are on vacation but that we aren't and that they were being very loud and could they please keep it down. they seemed to get nervous and i haven't heard a peep since.
the pain in the ass part is that as soon as i got inside my mom asked what i had just done and i told her and she got all pissed since she had just gotten off the phone with rancho pd. i told her to just calm down since she was seriously pissed and talking about how "now they're going to know i called the cops on them" and crap like that. i told her to give me the phone and i would call pd back and deal with it so she did and practically stormed off to her room. i called them and told them to cancel the call and that i was sorry.
my main issue is i would say i'm going to apologize but i won't because i'm not sorry at all. but i also know this is going to carry over to tomorrow to a certain extent i'm just not sure how yet. but i'm pretty sure their will be some snide and b!tchy comment about how i was finally able to do what i'\ve wanted to do for a while now like i get some kind of joy out of it. which i don't. i don't like doing that stuff but i'm also not afraid to say something if i feel it's necessary.
the bad pat is, i know our relationship would improve a lot once i finally move out since i won't have to deal with her drama all the time. and i also know she wasn't in a great mood earlier b/c of the pay cut for state employees.
i feel better having written this down and talking to pochi real quick. i'll deal with the "fall-out" when i get up and what ever b.s. she is going to give me about it.
