Stunned parents have hit back at a neighbour who demanded they keep their 'noisy' children quiet.
The couple took to Facebook to shame their neighbour after a note was pushed through their door urging them to keep their kids indoors until 9am so they don't keep 'disturbing the peace in the neighbourhood '.
The incident came after the family home had undergone renovation works.

The note reads: “Congratulations on your renovations. Your neighbours have endured many months of construction noise and now we're being disturbed by your kids in the backyard early in the morning.
“We wish to request that you keep your young kids indoors until 9am.
“There have been many occasions in recent times when your kids are out in the backyard early in the morning and they have been very loud and noisy. They are disturbing the peace in the neighbourhood and waking people up.
“Sometimes they are out very early around 7:30am and unfortunately they have very loud voices. Your son in particular is always screaming at the top of his voice.
“Kids will be kids but I'm simply asking if they can go out later so your neighbours are not awoken too early in the morning.
“Thank you for your co-operation and appreciate your kind understanding.”

The neighbour’s letter was shared on a Facebook page, the Mirror reports, and opinion was divided among other members.
One person agreed with the angry neighbour, writing: “I think parents of young children forget what it’s like to have a healthy and sufficient sleep cycle so they decide that everyone else should suffer with them.”
But many others believed they were being “ridiculous” with their request.
Another wrote: “What a joke, construction starts at 7am where I live.”
While a third added: “Seriously! We are in lockdown. My neighbours have four boys and they are out very early and I feel nothing but compassion for them … we all need to show a little patience.”
