Good fences

Frost once wrote "Good fences make good neighbors". I'm going to extend this: "Good soundproof windows make good neighbors". I live in a city. And in this city, the houses are all built reeaally close together. In fact, the only view from my bedroom window is my neighbor's kitchen. In the past, this was never a problem. The people that lived next door were nice people, not loud, not hermits. The new people, however, aren't so gracious.

First of all, the woman living there has two young boys. Her boyfriend also lives there. She's going through a divorce. Now, she's never told me that, but I know because I can hear all the phone calls she makes from her kitchen, as if she's standing in my bedroom. Also, almost every day, I am woken to the sound of :
"MOM! MOOOOOOOOOM JESS IS ON THE TABLE MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM"
"GOD DAMMIT GET OFF THE FUCKING TABLE. COME HERE SO I CAN SMACK YOU"
Speaking of, I'm now sitting in my livingroom, all windows pointing out to the street, and I can hear the child screaming. As if, in fact, he's in my livingroom.

Now, if it isn't screaming children (and I can understand, children are children, but COME ON) it's loud, bad music. Loud music doesn't bother me. After all, I'm 18. I listen to loud music all the time. But generally, it isn't at 8 am on a weekday. Or any day for that matter. This is the fourth or fifth time I've been woken up or kept awake by this woman's music. And it isn't even GOOD music.

We can sometimes also hear her having sex. She's quite the screamer.
