The saying ‘Thou shall love thy neighbour as thyself’ becomes very hard to stick by when you have neighbours who go out of their way to make your life miserable. From poking their nose on your business to complaining unnecessarily, I wish sometimes pados wali aunties could just chill.
However, one woman recently took to Twitter to narrate how her neighbour was incredibly understanding and supportive when her two kids were being too loud because they weren’t used to their new apartment yet.
“My neighbour complained about my kids being too loud. I bought her flowers and a card telling they aren’t used to living in an apartment yet. She left me some alphabet cookies with a sweet card saying we will adjust together,” she wrote.
Have a look at her tweets here:

I be feeling guilty as hell that I had to uproot them from a house with a big yard to this apartment. They don’t understand why they could jump and run and now they can’t. I’m trying to have grace with them and grateful that they have grace with me.

A lot of disagreements come from not understanding or knowing what people are going through.

As her tweets went viral, people online shared their personal experiences dealing with neighbours who were difficult instead of being supportive in similar situations.
Some complained their neighbours called the cops on them when their kids were being loud. Imagine!
I wish my neighbors downstairs were nice . My son is only 1 & they’ve basically watched him grow the past year. They just started complaining about my son bumping & jumping a few weeks ago but instead of coming upstairs to say something , they called the cops. On a 1 year old.

My downstairs neighbor got mad at us cause we moved the couch once other than that we made no other noise. They also called the cops on us and in times like these they should dangerous that is especially for a noise complaint that could’ve easily been solved diplomatically

I’m going through this exact thing, & my children weren’t in my house even 4 hours before my downstairs neighbor started banging on the ceiling 🙃 hopefully things get better but I feel you on trying to adjust to a smaller space it’s really hard with my 2 year old 😭

This is very sweet! I live in an apartment too and my 2 year old wakes up at 7 am making lots of noise, so I baked cookies and gave em to my neighbours with a note saying sorry if we’re loud! They really appreciated it 🙂 empathy, communication and understanding is what we need pic.twitter.com/4iwUnbcVfd

Some others highlighted how it takes a village to bring up a child and that neighbours should be more understanding.
I’m so happy you both were kind and receptive to each others situations. I understand kids will be kids but it’s still your responsibility as a parent to ensure they aren’t disturbing others around you and too many parents take offense if anyone dares to complain about THEIR kids

I love this. The world would be a wonderful place if we all approached conflict this way. This is a wise woman and her children will grow up to be wonderful human beings. https://t.co/5cJOG4A93M
