Two grandparents were left gobsmacked after they received an intimidating note moaning about their “loud grandkids”.
The grandparents went out of their way to care for their grandkids but their time together ended sourly thanks to one nosey neighbour.
They left a neighbour moaning about the children’s “screaming and dragging” and how they had “disturbed the peace”.
The fuming neighbours threatened to call the police “as we are aware of our rights”, BirminghamLive reported.
The shocking note was posted to Reddit by the parents of the children.
It read: "Dear Neighbour. Could you please consider that sound travels and your grandkids are making a lot of noise.
"Today your visitors have been screaming and dragging loud toys and disturbing the peace.
"You live in high density housing with lots of neighbours. We have kids in our building and they go to the park when they need to make noise - you can too."
"I just wanted a nice, quiet day in my apartment..." the note continued.
"Lack of consideration for others. If this continues I will consider contacting police as we are aware of our rights. There is no need for screaming. It is our day of rest on Sunday."
There was a mixed response on the site with some understanding the complaint more than others.
One Reddit user wrote: "As someone who has been listening to someone's toddler literally high pitched screaming and it echoing off the walls...I can kinda feel their pain. But I understand it can't be helped."
Another shared: "We live in apartment and have our 4yo grandson stay over twice a week. It's the same for lots of apartments around us.
"We are all aware sound travels so don't let the grandkids scream, run around loudly or bash things on the ground. It's common courtesy."
A third said: "As an apartment dweller myself, I totally understand their point.
"We have young kids too but make every effort to teach them to not bang and jump around as it echoes through the building."
