neighbor feud

So Mac and I had a really bad night. We have these neighbors that we don't get along with what so ever. Mac and I have lived in our condo for 3 years and have loved it till these neighbors moved in about I wanna say a year ago above us. I know this is going to sound really mean but they are really gross. They have 3 boys and I'm guessing the oldest one is 9 or 10 and an ugly annoying dog.  They are sooooooooo loud. Ok.... I know that we live in a condo complex and that we ARE going to hear things which we do, but these guys are out of control.

When they first moved in, we thought, ok their probably still getting settled in so we need to gave them the benefit of the doubt and we would say hi to them when we saw them and that was fine. 3 months go by 4 months 5 months 6 months and they are still so loud. Whenever we were home we would hear her violently yelling at her kids (no physical abuse) just verbal. Our light fixtures would shake, we were constantly being woken up from naps things on our walls would shake etc... One sunday Mac and I were taking a nap on the couch when we hear them banging in the stairwell screaming and jumping and Mac finally had to say something. He opened the door and with a stern voice (not yelling at them) he told them they needed to be quiet or go home. And they stopped.

When we got home later that night from Sunday dinner with our parents they were all out side. We said hi and continued up to our door. The mom said to us. "Sorry my kids were loud today, but I just cant control them."  Mac said to her, "Its fine were just worried about our baby that is on the way" She looked back and said "You know what! mMy husband was out side when you yelled at my kids! I hope you struggle someday with all the struggles that we have!!"  Mac and I looked at each other like wow. She's a little crazy. We didn't say anything we just went inside. And thats when it all went down hill.

It continued to get worse. We started getting diapers thrown on our porch. She would purposely make as much noise as she could when we were home. We had never heard her vacuum since we lived there and suddenly she wanted to start vacuuming at midnight, turn on crazy loud music and her kids were making more noise then ever.

Honestly Mac and I really didn't want to make things bad or awkward with any of our neighbors. Why would anyone want to create problems with neighbors and have tention? Thats why we really hadn't done much about it.  We didn't was our cars keyed or property damaged. At this point I had quit my job to get ready for the baby and was being woken up at 3, 4 in the morning, getting no sleep, because their kids literally don't sleep and the mom and dad weigh like 400lbs and walk as hard as they can on the floor. But enough was enough. Mac wrote the HOA president and told him everything that had been going on and that he had better do something about it because it was out of control. Joe got in contact with Mac and they talked about it a bit and he said that he would get in contact of the home owners, because these people are just renting.

About a week later he wrote us back and said that he had sent our email to the owners and renters, and told them that if the behavior didn't improve DRAMATICALLY  they would both be incredibly  fined. 

I noticed it got a little better for a couple months, to the point where I could deal with it being home with bostyn...but it came back with a vengeance.

Last night mac and I were watching T.V and had just put Bostyn to bed. Things started shaking in her room, in the living room like picture frames and our lights, and their music was blaring.  Mac finally snapped. For those of you who know Mckay, you know that it takes a lot for him to get mad and snap. But he was done. He pounded on the ceiling and told them to shut the hell up! It was our breaking point. The mom started yelling at him telling him he was such a bad example and priesthood holder and started jumping on the floor harder and harder! Mac picked up the phone and just called the cops. We were at the end of our fuse with them and done being nice.

The cops got here and one of them talked to the dad and the other one talked to us. We knew of course they were upstairs trying to paint a pretty picture for the cops. But we didn't hold anything back and just told the cops everything from the beginning. They were really nice to us and understanding. They told us though that in order to get them evicted it has to happen a certain number of times and that the cops need to be here hearing it when it happens and if it is unreasonable noise they will proceed to do something about it. I wish that we would have called them when it first started happening because they wouldn't still be living there.

To be quite honest, Mac and I felt really bad that night. We felt bad that it had to come to that and things are worse then ever with them. Today I pulled in to my parking stall and she was across the street talking to the neighbor pointing at me. Whenever we leave the house the kids will just stare at me and even our other kid neighbors.
And even though these people are psychotic, it still really bugs me.  Its just really not a fun situation.....Anyway. Just a bad night.
