Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : Im (M27) and have lived in the same apartment for 5 years. I’ve been married for two years. My previous upstairs neighbors were great and I never heard them. In fact if I didn’t occasionally see them I would have assumed the upstairs unit was vacant. 7 months ago however we got new neighbors up there. It’s a single mom with a daughter I estimate to be 5. 

The first week of them living there was fine, but then tragedy struck my peaceful and quiet world. I work from home mostly and all day I would hear loud music, and what sounded like they were dropping bowling balls on the floor for hours. They then got a puppy they would leave alone for hours on end that barked non stop. The mom would bring countless men over and have the loudest sex I’ve ever heard. Also they would let her child run and jump around until 2am. 

After talking to them about how loud they were I finally started to complain the landlord and nothing has been done. So I decided to take matters into my own hands. I bought several google homes and a canary view security system, and whenever I’m gone or they get to loud at night I’ll yell up and ask them to be quiet, and when they fail to do so I blast some music or an annoying noise. 

Still that didn’t help, but I finally found a solution after telling them I can’t sleep and they’re making my life miserable and her only response to me this whole time was, “sorry you think you’re better than me.” And “You have no idea how hard it is to be a mom!” I started waiting for them to sleep, and I placed my security alarm by the vent and randomly will turn on the alarm in the middle of the night until I hear them wake up and about something. Then I turn it off and wait for them to sleep and do it again. 

I’ve only done it a few times, but they’re much more quiet now. 

So... AITA?
