Everyone is upset with me because I was able to calm down the neighbor’s baby who was crying on a regular basis.

Every family is very happy when they have a child. But when a baby is born, the happy parents have to deal with nights when they can’t sleep. The never-ending quest to “calm the baby down” is caused by colic, teething, and many other things. Not only the family, but also the neighbors might have a hard time with this. The same thing happened to our main character today, a man. He got tired of his neighbor’s baby making noises at night and found a way to stop it. Other people, on the other hand, were very critical of him for some reason.

A guy named Mark wrote us an online letter and asked for help.

Mark, who is 33 years old, began his letter by saying that he was ready for us and our readers to be very harsh on him. The man was desperate, but he still wanted to tell what had happened and hear from other people who had been through the same thing.

In the first line of his letter, the man said, “I just moved into my own apartment, which is something I’ve probably been saving for my whole life.” Having a small, private place to live was a truly happy moment. The people who lived on the same floor as me were nice. There was only one thing I wanted: peace and quiet. At first, I liked it because none of my neighbors seemed like they would be loud.

“But things changed a lot when my next-door neighbors, a nice young married couple, had their first child,” the man said. Since then, things have slowly gone bad in my life.

Things slowly got worse between Mark and his neighbors.

The man goes on with his story, saying, “I’ve been going through a lot of pain since the day my neighbors became parents.” Their baby cries all the time at night, and my life is a mess because of it. For as long as I could, I tried to understand and stay calm about this. I bought a white noise machine, but it didn’t seem to help much.

Mark tried to talk to the new parents but couldn’t. The man said, “I even asked the parents to do something about it, but they just said, ‘It’s a baby, it’s normal for babies to cry.’” After that, they told me to take care of it.
In short, they didn’t care about my worries at all and refused to help me in any way. I was very mad. Unfortunately, I had to work at night during that time because the baby was crying all the time, so I couldn’t work or sleep. I had to just sit and listen to the poor kid cry for hours on end.

Mark worked through it in his own way.

“Somewhere on the internet, I read that playing sounds of wolves and wild dogs howling can calm the baby down because babies are evolved to stay safe at night from predators,” the man said.
That’s why I played that sound on my Bluetooth speakers. Things weren’t too loud. Say, the sounds of dolphins during a spa day are relaxing. That was the main mood. A lot of people also fall asleep to these sounds.

Right away, the results of this strange lifehack were clear. “I don’t know if my experiment helped to calm the baby down, but after about 30 minutes, the baby stopped crying,” the man said. People next door became very worried about this and found that the noise was coming from me. They asked me questions. I told them the truth, and what I was doing made them mad.

Not long after the man played the animal sounds, things took an unexpected turn.

Mark wrote, “It turned out that the noise of the crying baby stopped only when the parents took the baby to their room, which is not connected to my wall.” The baby’s room was connected to my bedroom. The sounds of the howling were scaring the child and making them cry more, which made their parents very worried.
When they asked me to stop, I told them I would only do so if they took the baby out of that room because the way things were was making my life unbearable. “If it’s against the law, I promised I’d play the sound during nap times during the day.”

“Now everyone in the neighborhood is mad at me. When they saw me, they stopped saying hello.” It seems like everyone is against me now, and I feel like I’m being harshly judged. It looks like a boycott is going on. Because I still don’t see my neighbors giving in, I feel like my rights and freedom are being taken away. What should I do?”
