AITA for telling the upstairs neighbor to be a little quieter at night?
I (26nb) live in an apartment complex. I am on the first floor. This apartment has a noise curfew of 10pm. I have a kid (5) who sleeps at 8pm. We have neighbors around us who also have kids around the same age who go to bed roughly around the same time (we've talked from time to time) including a new neighbor with a young autistic kid. My kid is also autistic. I am also autistic and schizophrenic. The neighbor directly next to us has a dog who tends to bark and howl whenever he hears loud noises. These are important to remember.
This girl moved in some handful of weeks ago right above me. Some days during the day I hear her stomping around REALLY loudly like crazy, and at first I thought that's fine because its just during the day no big deal. But then she started doing it late at night. First night I thought maybe she was still unboxing and stuff, nbd. But this kept going on for weeks from 8pm until nearly 2am every single day. And around 10pm-1am she would play loud music with heavy bass. This would keep me awake at night and prevent me from sleeping, and would cause me to have sensory overload very easily. My kiddo said it scared her to hear the banging and stomping and music upstairs late at night. One night at about 9:30pm, she started banging something FIERCE up there to the point where I actually started having an episode. I thought we were being broken into and I fell into a delusion that was remedied by my partner coming home and helping to ground me. That was my breaking point, and I ended up leaving a note saying, "hi! I wanted to ask if you could please keep the noise a little lower at night, we have young kiddos that live here too. Thank you!" I didn't leave anything to indicate who we were.
The next day she brought back the note to MY door saying "I'll try to be quieter. I didn't think I was that loud. I come home late. It was a Friday night and I was banging chicken at 8pm so I didn't think it was an issue. I just moved in and I'm trying to live my life. Sorry" and left two stuffed animals. Weeks passed and she is still, up to today, being loud late into the night and early morning. My partner can also hear it loud and clear and has complained to me about how disruptive she is. Some other neighbors have come forth saying she's so loud THEY can hear her when they come in through the main door. She's so loud that she's been causing the dog next door to bark like crazy, which is disturbing that poor neighbor as well. We are all kind of fed up with this girl.
Recently, there was a bunch of people who got their packages stolen... Her included. She left a note in the main lobby saying to bring her packages back. Today, we could hear her loudly talking on the phone outside while we were also outside, and she was talking to someone about available renting places outside of our city. We think she might be trying to move out already even though she just got here.
I think I might be the asshole because, between my note and her packages getting stolen, she probably felt unwelcomed here. I don't want people to feel unwelcomed, but I also want to be able to exist in my own home safely and comfortably. Maybe I should have left her alone and just dealt with the noise. My family thinks I was being rude to say anything at all, and my mom said I lost a potential friend by doing that. AITA?

Mama
………………………………….
It’s Friday night and instead of going out with friends like you usually do on Friday nights, you were at home taking care of your new bundle of joy. Emma came into yours and Joes lives just about last week. April 8 at 6:21pm was when Emma was born. Joe and yourself couldn’t be more happier to have her in your lives.
Joe is such an amazing father. You would walk into her nursery and see him leaning over her baby basket.
You were in the bathroom getting ready for bed. You were exhausted. Getting up in the middle of the night every single night, feeding her 24/7, taking care of her when she cries, and not getting any sleep wasn’t helping. You were in your pjs putting on your moisturizer when Joe walked in. He looked tired too. He just put down emma for the second time and was ready to get to bed. He could tell you were a little off because you didn’t get any sleep.
“Hey.”- joe
You looked up at him through the mirror
“Hey, is she asleep?”- you
“Yeah, finally.”- joe
He walked over to the sink next to you and started turning on the sink.
“Are you ok? I know it’s been a crazy week.”- joe
“I’m fine Joe. Everything is fine.”- you
The truth was everything isn’t really fine. You loved emma and Joe, but postpartum is hitting you hard. You are so tired, you don’t feel right in your own body, and as said before no sleep doesn’t help.
“No it isn’t y/n, I can tell.”- joe
“Joe, seriously I’m not in the mood right now.”- you
You closed your skincare bottles, wiped your hands on the towel and headed out the bathroom.
Joe was a little mad that you weren’t saying what you needed to say but he understood. He knows you don’t really like talking about your feelings and he knows to give you some space when you need some. After he was done in the bathroom which was a couple minutes later and he came out into the bedroom where you were. You were folding some clothes and putting them on the chair next to his side of the bed.
“Y/n, you need to tell me what’s going on. I know something is up. I know that you are tired, but I want to make sure you are ok. I love you and I want to know what is going on in my wife’s mind.”- Joe said calmly
“You what to know what is going one Joe?”- you said turning around with an unfolded onesie in your hands
“Yeah, I do.”- Joe
“Alright, here let me tell you. I am tired, Joe. So dang tired. I’ve been woken up probably four-hundred times this past week because emma is crying or she is hungry. And you have been such a big help and I am so, so, so grateful, but I am so dam tired. I don’t feel like myself. My body has changed for a good reason, but I don’t feel right. I’ve been feeding her 24/7 and my body hurts. And no sleep isn’t helping. So there you go, Joe. Is that what you were looking for?”- you
It stayed silent for a minute.
“I’m sorry baby. I’m sorry it’s been hard on you. I know taking care of a baby is a lot of work especially for a mother, but you are a great mama to our beautiful baby sleeping in the other room. You are so strong, y/n. You are beautiful. In my eyes you are beautiful. You are the only gorgeous, beautiful, strong, and amazing loving girl I know.”- joe
He walked up to you. Joe put his hands on the side of your face.
“I love you, y/n. I love you so much it hurts. And our baby is the luckiest baby in the world, you know why?”- joe
“Why?”- you laugh
“Because she gets to call you her mom.”- Joe
Your eyes started to get teary.
“Everything is going to be ok.”- joe
He pulled you into him and kissed your forehead then your lips. You wrapped your arms around his body and held him tight. Some tears rolling down your cheeks.
“Shh, it’s ok baby.”- Joe
You wiped your tears and smiled
“Thank you, Joe. You are the best husband a girl could ask for and an amazing father to our little girl. She is one lucky baby to be calling you her daddy.”- you smiled
Joe smiled and kissed you.
“Thank you, baby. Ready to go to bed?”- joe
“Yeah.”- you
Joe walked to his side as you walked over to yours. You turned off your lamp and got under the covers. The dark room was quiet. Joe pulled you into him and held you tight.
“I love you, y/n Burrow.”- Joe
“I love you too, Joe burrow.”- you
————————————————————————
(Next morning)
You woke up to the smell of pancakes. You turned over to see Joe, but was no where to be found. Then you turned over to your side table to check the time.
“11:00!”- you
You pulled the cover off you and put your Ugg’s on.
You walked down the stairs as carefully as you could because you were still recovering. As you walked off the last step of the stairs you saw your family and Joes family too.
“Oh, there she is!”- your mom
“Hi!”- you said crossing your arms against your chest
You walked over to your mom and gave her a kiss.
“Hey, sweetie!”- Robin
“Hi!”- you
“All of us just wanted to see how you and the rest of the family were doing!”- Robin
“Aww that’s very sweet, but we are doing good!”- you
“How are you doing though?”- Robin said in kind of a whisper
“I’m doing ok, thank you.”- you said giving her a sweet smile
You then said good morning to your dad and Jimmy. Then came over to Joe.
“Good morning!”- Joe
“Good morning.”- you smiled
He gave you a sweet kiss.
“How are you?”- joe
“I’m good, doing ok!”- you
“How are you?”- you
“I’m good! Just making breakfast for you!”- Joe
“Aww Joe, that’s so sweet, thank you.”- you
“Of course!”- joe
“Hey, where is em?”- you
“Oh, she just went down for her nap.” Should be up soon. - your mom
“Oh, ok.”- you
Just as you spoke the baby monitor turned on. Emma was crying. You could tell it was a hungry cry.
“I will get her.”- Joe
“”It’s ok Joe, I got her. I can tell she is hungry.”-you
“You sure?”- joe
“Yeah, it’s ok baby. I will be back in a few!”- you
“Ok.”- joe
You then stared walking up the stairs and into Emma’s nursery.
“Hey, baby!”- you
You picked her up.
“Shh, shh, it’s ok. It’s ok, baby girl.”- you
You the sat down on the rocking chair to feed her. You pulled done your sweater on one of your sides and started feeding her.
“You are so precious.”- you
A few moments pasted by and you were still admiring how pretty she is.
“I love you em. Your father and I love you so much.”- you
You the stared to feel teary
“I’m sorry em. I’m just tired. Even though I slept in very late today. Jeez, why am I so tired?”- you
You chuckle at the exhaustion that is hitting you. You don’t know why though. You slept in so why are you so tired you thought.
You wiped some of your tears so your family wouldn’t see you were crying when you got downstairs. Emma was done feeding so you put her back in her crib and switched off the lights to let her get some more sleep.
You walked down the stairs to find your family sitting in the same place. The monitor was a little more close to them. It looked like they were listening in.
“Hey.”- you
They all looked at you.
Your mom got up and hugged you tight. You were a little confused at first but the you caught on. They were listening in on you in Emma’s room.
“How about we take emma for the day? Give you and Joe some time to relax and rest. How does that sound?”- your mom
You looked at Joe then back at your mom.
“Um, yeah sure.”- you
“Ok, we can pack a bag when she wakes up.”- your mom
You nod your head.
You walked over to Joe
“I’m going to go um… wash up.”- you
“Okay. Your breakfast is done, so it’s here is you want it”- Joe
“Thanks.”- you
You kissed him on the lips and went up.
“Oh honey, how long has she been like that?”- Robin
“She has been off for a bit but she talked to me about everything last night. I just don’t want her feeling this way. It hurts to see her like this.”- joe
“I know sweetie, but that why maybe you need a day just the both of you to yourselves.”- Robin
——————————————————————-
“Bye!”- you
You closed the door and went over to the kitchen. You already got dressed for the day. Which was the first time you weren’t in your pjs in over a week. You decided to clean some baby bottles and put them in the dishwasher.
Joe came walking in with his beautiful smile plastered on his face.
“Hey, burrow!” You smiled
“Hey, Mrs Burrow! What are you doing?”- Joe
He then sat down on one of three kitchen stools.
“Well, I’m cleaning. I wanted to get it out of the way.”- You
“Well how about you come relax. You need it, y/n.”- joe smiled
“When I’m finished. I’m almost done!”- you
“Okay.”- Joe
Joe stayed there talking to you about upcoming projects and practices he has going on. It was nice to talk to him that wasn’t all baby related. Even though you love your sweet emma. It has just been a lot this past week and you needed a break from it.
After cleaning you decided to watch a movie with Joe. Both of you decided on Mr and Mrs Smith.
“Want to order something to eat?”- Joe
“Sure!”-you
“How about..”- Joe
“Sushi!”- you
“That’s what I was thinking!”- Joe
“Well, great minds think alike!”- you
He then pulled you in for a sweet kiss.
“I love you.”- Joe
“Love you too.”- you
“Ok, let’s order.”- Joe
You laughed and told him what you wanted.
You were so grateful to have such an amazing husband. He is a great father to your beautiful daughter. A new chapter just opened for you and Joe and you couldn’t wait to explore it with the man you love.
————————————————————————-
Authors note: HAPPY MOTHERS DAY! This goes out to all the mothers! It’s can be hard sometimes but always remember that people love and care about you!🩷

Fuck It Friday - retail!AU
It's been a hot second, hasn't it? I'm having such a good time writing this silly little fic, I hope you all enjoy this next snippet!
“Think you could get Josh to approve my supply order?” Eddie asked as he tied the bag shut. “I think the fire marshal will actually shut us down if we don’t have working fire alarms.” He shook out the next one to place in the barrel by the door. “And I can’t even say I blame him if he does. Even if he seems a bit overzealous.”
“Oh my god,” May slammed the drawer closed and looked over at him with a spark of juicy gossip in her eyes. “Did you know that Abby used to sleep with him?”
Eddie blinked, “The… what? No!”
“The tall hot one, right? With the birthmark over his eye?”
“Yes!”
“She slept with him!”
“Wasn’t she, like… fifty?”
“Forty-seven, actually.” May corrected and nodded eagerly. “But, yes! And he was, like, twenty-something when they started it. She’d do it so that we got a passing grade or something, but it never worked.” She scrunched up her face. “Well, okay, I think it worked, like… once or twice but… one day his sister comes in and just tears into her, you know? There’s a ton of customers around, she says something about Abby being old enough to be his mom, about how he could have lost his job, just, like… a whole thing.”
Eddie’s eyes were almost permanently wide, “What the fuck?”
“I know!” May laughed. “Abby was white as a sheet! Josh almost fired her because of it.”
“That….” Slowly, Eddie shook his head. “That seems a little extreme.”
“Oh, god, no. Like… Abby wouldn’t leave him alone. He’d come in to do an inspection and it was constant innuendo from her. Turns out they did it in her office once and that’s a blatant disregard of rules. And it sucks so much, because he’s actually a really sweet guy. He adored her.”
“We’re talking about the same guy that marked us down because our rafters that no one can reach were dusty?”
“He’s a little anal about his job,” May shrugged. “But he knows all of our names. When my parents were going through their divorce and I had a really tough time during one of his inspections and started crying, he stopped what he was doing to make sure I was okay, you know?”
“That just seems like basic human decency.” Eddie shook his head with a laugh.
“Abby was the problem there,” May hummed and fixed him with a look. “The Marshal is actually really cool. He always left Josh his notes when I was running the place and said the team was doing the best they could with what they had. He could have fined us every single visit.”
“Yeah, well, the guy still gave us a twenty-three percent.” Eddie scoffed. “I don’t plan on singing his praises anytime soon.”
“Uh-huh,” May squinted at him with a laugh. “We’ll see about that after a few meetings.”

polyam relationship with Y/N, stan, kyle, kenny and cartman headcanons
✩.・*:。≻───── ⋆🎀⋆ ─────.•*:。✩
Okay so the main four has known Y/N since they were in kindergarten and grew up with each since
When they reached kindergarten that’s when the four boys realized that they all had a crush on Y/N
Which I feel like they all had a small rivalry with each other after they all realized that one day.
Like what happing in “basic cable” they all tried to one up each other in front of Sophie’s mom or just in general
Y/N is oblivious as she doesn’t really know why the four boys are doing so much for her but she isn’t complaining
That was until one day the start of summer break after sophomore year of high school you four went to the park next to the school and hung out for awhile until it got quiet which confused you and the four boys just stared at you with an awkward / embarrassment look
When you asked what was wrong they looked at each other they all collectively sighed before kyle spoke
✩.・*:。≻───── ⋆🎀⋆ ─────.•*:。✩
“Y/N we’ve been meaning to ask you something and please don’t get mad” kyle looked at the three boys as they gestured him to continue which he soon did.
“Y/N we’ve all had a crush on you since 4th grade and we really, really, love you and we really don’t you to choose between the four of us if you like us and..”
You gestured him to continue which kyle couldn’t and looked over at Stan.
“What kyle is trying to say is uhm..uh” stan didn’t have to words to say it. Neither did Kenny which he was sweating his balls off in nervousness. Then cartman spoke for all of them as he groaned in annoyance.
“What these fuckwads are trying to say is. Y/N we all want to be in a relationship at the same time. We want to start a polyamorous relationship with you. We’ve all thought about it and talked about it and if you are down do you want to do that..?”
✩.・*:。≻───── ⋆🎀⋆ ─────.•*:。✩
That’s how the relationship started. You felt joy since you’ve liked the four of them for a long time as well.
You were instantly on board but wanted to play it cool so you nodded a yes and let out small laughs which the four boys sighed in relief
Ever since that day. The first day of summer has always been special for me you five :)
It’s a pretty wholesome relationship, it’s basically just the same as your guys friendship just with kisses involved
The four boys aren’t dating each other btw they all just want to stay friends while they date you which you are fine with as well
You guys haven’t said anything in public. People just think you guys are just friends which they seem also suspicious because they would think you would be dating on of them?
Little did they know you’re dating all four of them!!
You always give the four boys equal amount of love and always invite them over which they absolutely adore.
They still fight sometimes, well mainly just kyle and cartman
“Cartman stop holding her so tight you’re gonna suffocate her!”
“But she’s so warm kahl!!!”
Kenny and stan just stare as they both hold you while kyle and cartman argue, plus they don’t even realize you’re out of cartman’s hold.
Cuddling is almost cute too!!
Cartman lays in the middle of the bed while you lay on his left side. Kyle spoons you from behind as stan then spoons kyle..while kenny then just lays on top of you and cartman.
The first time the five of you did this you guys didn’t say a word about it. The five of you continue to do this without a care in the world which is supper cute 💗
Overall pretty chaotic and wholesome 💕
✩.・*:。≻───── ⋆🎀⋆ ─────.•*:。✩
basing all of this off a story I have on quotev!! It’s called Full of Love !! It’s a polyamorous South Park story, in which reader had to move to California for a year and comes back to South Park in which she might rekindle her poly relationship with the main four or have her love expand and love different / more people!! It’s a wholesome book I can guarantee you that, link is in my pinned 💗

Singledad!Toji who you kicked out once finding out he had not one, but TWO secret kids and did not tell you. Maybe you were overreacting, but you also took in consideration that maybe if he just, idk, told you?! You’d be fine with it.
Singledad!Toji who begged and pleaded for you to give him a second chance. He never grovels, rarely even asks. But he just needed you in his life.
Singledad!Toji who invited you over for dinner to make up for it. You reluctantly accepted, it was free dinner so!
Singledad!Toji who also forgot that that same dinner day was the same day he had Megumi and Tsumiki as his sister couldn’t babysit. It completely slipped out of his mind that the whole weekend, the kids would be there.
Singledad!Toji who repeatedly apologised when you walked in and was met with a plethora of toys scattered across the carpet floor. “I tried to clean up but…they keep playing-” A chuckle interrupted him. When he looked up and saw it cane from you, he smiled.
“It’s fine. Kids are fun.” You say.
He walked you to the sitting room and both the kids halted in their movement. They both looked at you wide eyed, curious and confused. You noticed the boy slowly hide behind his sister as Toji began to talk, “Kids, this is Y/N. Be nice and respectful, okay?
Singledad!Toji who lets his kids talk over the course of dinner. Well, it was more Tsumiki talking and everyone else listening. “And I’m older than Megumi but daddy says I act younger because I talk tooo much! Right, Megumi?”
“Yeah-” “And, also, my mom is not his mom because his mom is in heaven but my mom left. So, my daddy said that if we want you to be our new mom, we have to be kind to you. Right, Megumi?”
Megumi nodded. You looked at Toji to see him try to hide his blush. “And I told dad to make funazushi but he said no because he can’t cook that well. So, we made udon. Is it nice?” She grinned.
Singledad!Toji who held a sleeping Megumi and Tsumiki in his arms as they stayed wayyy past their bedtime. You said goodnight to the two of them dozens of times before they accepted that they had to go to sleep.
When Toji returned from the kids rooms, he a frown had formed on his lips, “Sorry about them. Megumi is really shy and…Tsumiki…” He let out a light chuckle.
“Don’t worry about it, Toji. They seem like really great kids, they must have a great dad.” You smiled at him, and for the first time in a while, Toji smiled back.

ring pop proposal ♡
fem reader, pure fluff, childhood friends to lovers lemme alone do not perceive me yk the drill by now, lil self indulgent fic cus i love childhood friends to lovers and puppy crushes, polar opposite’s trope, this reeks of my oc x canon katsu ship sooooo shh shh do not perceive.
the first person who realizes katsuki has a crush on you is his mom because when she comes to pick him up one day from kindergarten he suddenly mentions you. it’s an innocent little interaction he had with you that mitsuki doesn’t think much about at first, simply surprised her son managed to befriend someone outside of his little group of friends until he starts mentioning you more and more.
soon you’re the only thing he talks about and katsuki even starts begging her to have you come over to play. mitsuki is extremely curious to know what kind of person you are to have been able to enchant her son the way you have, she says it’s fine as long as your parents agree.
you’re a sweet little thing, almost the complete opposite of her little devil’s spawn. you’re polite and a little shy when you ask “ is it okay if i come to play at katsu’s house, please miss katsuki’s mom ?” and how could she say no to you ? she pulls at your cheek lovingly and her son almost snarls at her.
“no touchin’ !” he snarks, pulling you against him like you were his teddy bear.
mitsuki was the first to realize her son had a crush on you when you were always around. when he found something cool during a class trip you were there and whenever he was upset it was always because you had argued about something irrelevant that seemed so much bigger in the eyes of a child.
she realized because katsuki had, and in some ways, will always be rowdy. he’s rough and temperamental and moody—basically, he can be quite the brat. (she wonders where he gets that from a lot) but he’s different with you.
he’ll always be a little rough around the edges but it’s the thought that counts. he drags you around a little too hard but it's to show you something he knows you'd like and you repay him by being patient with him and letting him drag you around to his hearts content. he let’s you use the crayons he’d just denied another classmate seconds ago and when it’s really early in the morning and you’re still sleepy unlike your more energetic friend, he waits for you. sitting with you in the reading corner quietly commenting on a little bit of everything in the book you’re sharing until you’re awake enough to start the day because katsuki wanted you to be together through anything no matter what, starting the day without you was simply unimaginable.
you offer him your kindness and he repays you with his loyalty. acting like your guard dog, protecting you from everything and everyone he considers a threat to you. he goes a bit overboard but it’s the thought that counts and he’s definitely got the right intentions.
“ i’m g’nna marry yn when i grow up !” katsuki proclaims from the backseat of the car after mitsuki had come to pick him up. she looks at him through the rear view mirror only to see he’s not even looking at her, looking out the window somewhat longingly, watching as his school fades away from his sight, further and further and further away from you. she smiles to herself.
“yeah ?” she asks “yeah !” he responds proudly, crossing his arms “ i asked yn if she wanted to be my wife an’ she said yeah, so we’re gettin’ married !”
“huh. how’d you propose ? you don’t have a ring.” she jests.
katsuki responds immediately and exclaims he does have one, shuffling around to reach for something in his pocket. he pulls out a plastic ring pop holder, the candy on top is missing and mitsuki can imagine what happened to it.
“gave her one of these !”
“so that’s why you had me buy those from the store last time,” she hums. “ you ate it, though.”
katsuki tries to roll his eyes but just ends up looking up and to the side, mitsuki recognizes it as him trying to mimic what she does a lot and she snorts.
“well duh, we both did ! ‘f i kept it in my pocket it woulda gotten gross !” he defends. mitsuki simply responds with a hum, smile on her face growing larger as she hears her son happily chatting about the rest of his day with you.
she knows her katsuki is hard to handle. extremely so. but when she sees the way you both interact she can tell something is there. you don’t ‘handle’ him. you like being around him. you like playing and talking with him, she sees how happy you make him whenever you come over for playdates. he holds your hand when you get scared and you hug him tight and beam when you see him again after he’s gotten over a nasty cold.
she can tell you make her son happy and he does the same for you in the way children do with pinky promises and shy cheek kisses, kisses over tiny wounds and refusing to be separated whenever the rowdier one of you both gets his recess time taken away for being naughty.
mitsuki hopes this crush, this love you have for her son can grow along with you. she hopes you’ll stick around as katsuki grows up more and potentially more rowdy and rougher around the edges but even more enamored with you. and with the way her son is squirming around in his seat and tugging at his seatbelt, giddy about you accepting his ring pop proposal, she has a funny feeling you’ll be sticking around for a long time.
