Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : Parents, I want your opinion especially - 
I have lived in apartments pretty much my whole life and I was always taught to be respectful of downstairs neighbors. Mind you my dad wasn't the best example of parenting in the world, but he always told me to stop running or stomping or jumping or playing my music too loud if he knew it would bother our neighbors. He always told me that it was the price of living in an apartment and not a house - that you had neighbors to be considerate of and that outside was the place to be loud and play loudly.

My upstairs neighbors are a family that consists of a dad, an older son, and two little girls. If there is a mom, I've never seen her. Dad is gone most of the day working so it seems like older brother is the one in charge of watching them... but honestly I have no idea because I've never spoken to them so I could be 100% wrong about their situation. Anyway, the little girls are LOUD. Like I've never had neighbors be so loud in an apartment complex. They run around all day, I can hear them screaming and jumping and stomping.

I've complained to the landlords once and they were given a warning notice, basically just a polite "please stop". I know complaining too many times could get them in trouble and risk eviction. Part of me is like - not my problem, they should just be respectful to their neighbors... but the other part of me is like - dang it's a single dad doing his best to work and raise his kids and I don't want to be responsible for him ending up on the streets or something. 

I'm writing this because I am registered to start school again in a couple weeks and I just started a new job working from home. Not to mention I recently adopted a dog with anxiety, and the other day the dad yelled "bad dog" so loud at his own dog that it scared mine. All of this means I'll be home a lot more and needing to use this space to study and focus. It also means that I need an environment with a normal level of noise for my pup, and this is not a normal level of noise. 

When I reached out to my landlords the first time, they told me to let them know if the problem continues. Well the problem has definitely continued, so earlier today I sent out another complaint email, but I can't help but feel a little guilty. Am I being too hard on myself or AITA for not letting kids be kids?
