I'm a non-confrontational but very anxious person, and today my neighbor approached me. She said that my kids have been keeping her up since 8 AM – stomping and throwing toys(( She goes to bed at 8 PM and asks for quiet until 10–10:30 AM. I try my best to keep things quiet, and if they start acting up or running around, I try to stop them. When it's warm, we go outside, but even in the morning (we wake up around 7:30–8:00 AM), while I'm making breakfast, my youngest might get noisy: emptying toys from a bin or jumping. I think moms of two-year-olds can probably relate. So how can I relax now? I'm going to be constantly on edge, worried I'm bothering people(( P.S. Just while I was writing this post, my little one decided to take apart a car, throwing it on the floor 🥴 Soundproofing the floor isn't an option right now, we're renting, and I don't have a lot of extra money at the moment.

Forget about it. If sleeping until 10–10:30 AM is so critical for her, she should move to a private house. What now, tie the child up so she can get enough sleep? You're already trying to minimize noise, and at 8 AM, children have every right to run and play. It's daytime, not nighttime.

These are your neighbor's personal problems, you're just dealing with normal household noise during permitted hours.

There's nothing you can do, just try to stick to a routine as much as possible. Maybe lay down a children's play mat, you know, a soft one, so the noise from toys doesn't bother the neighbors so much)

I always feel sorry for my downstairs neighbors in my thoughts, and with the baby, I think they haven't slept with me 😁 I tell my husband they'll soon stop greeting me, and he told me he's ready to buy their apartment to make it a duplex 🤣 of course, he's joking... But mine are still quiet.
Yours, on the other hand, wants a lot, kids are kids.

Alena We had this mat, but for some reason he doesn't like it. He demands we remove it, and then he either uses it as a fence or piles it up. Maybe we'll try just laying down a carpet with a pile, maybe that will be a little better))

There's no way around it. She lives in an apartment building, so I have to put up with the noise. You don't exactly float through the air, do you?

Alena The parents living above them had children too, and toys or balls would fall on the floor, making a terrible racket. They complained and argued too, my mom said it was unbearable 🙈

Our upstairs neighbors are out of their minds. It would be great if they at least slept at night. But they jump around until 2-3 AM. And they're not little kids anymore, the girls are 7 and go to school. 8 AM is normal, especially considering the child's age.

OMG, they're making noise on the floor...
My upstairs neighbor's son is 1.2 years old... he bangs on the radiators starting at 6 AM (they wake up early)!

You can make noise during permitted hours, but if my child starts going crazy, I explain. At your age, I tried to occupy them with quiet games if they woke up early. In the evening, it's generally useful to involve them in quiet, calm games... Also, a thicker rug on the floor helps reduce noise from sudden falls and throws.

There are actually noise regulations...
In Moscow, they're the most relaxed))) You can make noise from 7 AM to 11 PM...

Tatyana Really? My friend who lives in Moscow says the exact opposite: they supposedly have a strict curfew on noise. Renovation work (drilling, hammering) is only allowed between 9:00 AM and 7:00 PM, plus a mandatory quiet hour from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM, and using noisy tools on weekends and holidays is completely forbidden (according to her). In some of our regions, people haven't even heard of such a quiet hour, and it doesn't exist 😂

Tatyana That's right, noisy renovation work can't go on non-stop, like from 9 to 13 – that's not allowed, there are some regulations for that too.

Tatyana Yeah, she mentioned it's tough in that regard, for sure. You have to be really strict. We bought apartments just 3 months apart. I only recently finished my renovations (spent 1 year and 1 month on it), and she hasn't even done half of hers yet

Tatyana If it's a new building, it's simpler, I think there are three years without restrictions, you need to read the law

Tatyana No, it's not a new building. It's a resale with grandma's renovation. This is actually the first time I'm hearing about new buildings from you) Interesting 🤔
