uhm, aren't you overreacting a bit?
If I was your neighbour on the other side, I'd be plotting to kill you after repeat nr 3 :p
I've spent too many years with neighbours playing loud music

Ask if you can take them out to a kid's park or something. When I lived in a students' home you had this family living next to us. Kids only got bread with butter. They always came to me and we'd go play in the park, swim. The mother dumped them with grandma. She had some mental illness. She once picked them up. The amazement in her face: do you really like to play with them? Like her own kids were some sort of monsters. My goodness. I also took them to church, 2 on my moped. They just loved it and they could eat what they wanted. It became a bit too much though when the brother also came and stole stuff from my roommates, but for the rest it was fun.
I think she can't cope. Is she married?

When our student neighbours in the students' home had hardrock on the whole day I blasted them away with the Edwin Hawkins singers lol or we'd slam the wall with a hammer and then they were quiet. Those were grown ups though.

There might be some helpful tips in this video. Caution mild adult content.

What do you mean by screaming? Does it sound like neglect?

You're studying Psychology, aren't you? Which of the four methods of communication is that?

HINT: It's not "Assertive." LOL

So not only do your other neighbors have to put up with screaming kids, but now they have to put up with you blasting music too. So your neighbors will now have 2 things to put up with.

Kids scream when they're playing. It's normal. If it bothers you now you're going to be an unhappy person your whole life because it's always going to go on.

Put yourself in the mother's shoes for just a moment.
If you were in a house with multiple screaming kids, wouldn't you also slam the door on a neighbor who only came over to complain?
Surely there is a more productive way to approach this conflict...

That would be fighting the symptom, not the cause. If you really want to have a Christian attitude about this you should try to identify what you can do that would help the situation. For example, if a sibling (or someone) pulls your hair, you don't pull their hair back. Or they will pull your hair again, and eventually it would turn into an aggressive fight that parents would have to trouble themselves to break up. It's ridiculous.

Have you asked your mom or dad what they think you should do?

If you don't want to then at least start thinking like an adult. Even if many adults in this world act like children and do exactly the kind of thing you are proposing to do. It's not adult-like and it's not Christian-like and it's really a terrible way to go about it. One way to fix the situation is with patience. Maybe buy some really good headphones that block out sound, and listen to peaceful music. Or go somewhere like a library to spend your time. And also you can pray that the child stops screaming.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Besides, in the end, bitterness and contentment will ultimately do more harm to yourself than anyone else.

Well meant,

@Messy Thats child abuse. For something like that, he could get major time. And yes, it is against the law to violate a noise ordinance, and it is perfectly legal to yell in your year. Its just kids being kids.

Imagine how as a mum it must feel for her... There's no escaping it... Pray for her.. Show her Love, Ask if there is anyway you can help give her a break... She's probably extremely tired and frustrated at the end of her tether.. Then she has neighbours knocking on the door. I think I'd slam the door too haha xxx

Yes I know. That was dangerous. I thought you meant screaming kids is against the law. What is violate a noise ordinance? When they put music on loud til the middle of the night some people call the police, which never helps, but for the rest, if it's extreme the neighbours can complain but I don't think you can do much when kids are loud.
