what a shame they are waking your child up. Most people are pretty reasonable if you approach them and ask them for their help If you tell them what time your child is sleeping and ask them to knock it off during those times I'm sure they would be ok with it.... I know it might go against your grain but maybe approach them, appologise for loosing it and explain how much of a hard time you are having with a cranky child. Appeal to their sense of decent human nature and I'm sure you will find a happy medium. I think they do have a right to play basket ball though unless they are actually damaging your property.
I'd see if you can settle baby in another room and if not, pop over and ask like the other posters have said.
But just be aware too that baby's sleep patterns are likely to change so you might be over there this month saying please avoid x and x, then over next month with a changed time.
So I'd be tempted to think of longer term solutions like the other room thing.
Heaven, the walk is a good idea, I might give that a go tomorrow...I have been whinging about not losing weight so really I should get my butt up and walk, might make me feel a bit more sane!
Kaz, I'd like to think it was going to end soon but really it has been going on for quite a while..it has always bugged me a bit but now..wow! He is already in the bedroom furthest away from the noise as he sleeps in our room and the sling is a good idea but DS is a big bub..nearly 8.5kgs and I only have a baby bjorn so he doesn't sleep comfortably in it. I think the walk might be the best option for now.
Sneakysparkle and Gracious Goddess, I so feel your pain I suppose I should be thankful that it is only 3hours in the afternoon and not at 2am and 6am
Marydean/Kim & Cherished, I would love to ask them but DH is dead against it and then after reading fionas post, I guess she is right, if I ask them to keep it down a bit now at a certain time and then DS's sleep time changes I am going to be in trouble.
I guess for now I should just 'suck it up' and buy myself a good pair of sneakers
