When to Call the Police for Baby Crying
only had neighbours call constabulary over crying infant . upset
(28 Posts)
I am single mum of 2 kids - i and 8
I have no support from family or friends or the kids dads
My eldest has special needs as frequently exhibits very challenging behaviours d is difficult to become to sleep. My youngest is a fab sleeper, 7 to 7 since early age!
I am very stiff and do my best - just I am tired. Really, really bloody tired. And having problem sleeping lately every bit lying awake worrying a lot
Tonight I managed to get to sleep just after 2am. My kids were in bed at seven and,8. After a long calendar week!
Yet at 330 am I woke in a daze to a loud knocking and my phone ringing - it was the police at ny door! They had had a call that my youngest was crying and neighbor was concerned... Turns out my baby monitor was off - awful I know but she's in the room next door to me and it is out of graphic symbol for her to wake, she usually sleeps through , I admit I should check information technology is on each nighttime though
When they looked around northward saw my baby they were reassured every affair was ok north left, they were really really overnice about it (fifty-fifty though my business firm is a bit of a bomb site tonight, it's a modest flat north tin become a little cluttered I admit!) my baby went straight dorsum to slumber subsequently a little drink.
Nevertheless I'm left feeling really really awful. Cant sleep now n tomorrow going to be fifty-fifty worse zombie Than usual
A) I didn't wake up when my baby was crying - this terrified me
B) don't get why the neighbour called police instead of buzzing my (LOUD!) outside cablegram fifty-fifty - this could have been washed anonymously and would have woken me up no prob
I'm just scared of what people think of me as it is n now every fourth dimension my kids take a tantrum going to feel some "concerned" exercise gooder is gonna be calling god knows who. When if they really cared they'd come round northward offer help non call the police force.
I'm a sweet, dainty, friendly well spoken woman and not scary or intimidating, everyone in this apartment cake knows this, so why???
At my wits cease 
I'm sure they were worried about you - if this was out of the ordinary then they were peradventure concerned that y'all'd become unable to hear or get to your kid.
This time of year is tough , exist kind to yourself.
You poor love. You lot must be so tired. Your neighbours probably didn't know the situation and thought y'all might be out or ill/injured, and idea this was the best thing to do.
Are they sure they didn't knock beforehand? And I don't think your neighbour is bad for calling them. Same thing happened to me when dd was just weeks sometime and had wind every time she cried she sounded distressed so someone called them. It makes you feel rubbish at the time just call back of all the kids who genuinely suffer at the hands of their parents where no 1 calls the law to check on them
Awww cheers guys.feel much Amend after reading your kind forgiving responses. Information technology was the backhandedness that got me - they may well have tried to knock and I wouldn't accept heard it, y'all're correct! But wish they'd buzzed the cablegram to wake me at least I'm and so embarrassed now that the constabulary came round and scared ss will be in their wake. And actually freaked out I didn't wake up :-( I haven't fifty-fifty been drinking, not on whatever sleeping tablets but was proper comatose!!
Calling the constabulary does seem a bit surprising but one possibility is that your neighbours thought that in that location was no one habitation.
Truthful.. But i slumber in the living room on the ground flooring and my window is WIDE open all night every night! If they were that bothered surely they would have called through? Or looked through, to see me sleeping!!
You slumber with your window open on the ground floor?
Op I'd review this peculiarly afterward tonight.
Haha Ledkr you accept a point - nobody could climb in though.
Funnily enough though a few weeks ago the constabulary woke me at half three AGAIN tapping and shouting through window thinking at that place had been a burglar in virtue of window being open.
Seriously - police have more to do with my tiredness than kids. But I can't sleep with window close due north can't get flat anywhere else as broke
I expect the neighbours didn't actually want to leave their flat at iii am to fizz your buzzer or wait through your window. If your baby was crying long enough for them to get worried, call the constabulary and the police turn up and so it must accept been a lot of crying. Non blaming you at all only I can come across why, if it'south unusual for them to hear that and they got worried they would have phoned the police.
Yous should be thankful you have such caring neighbours
Its possible they thought you were ill/dead/out and called the police put of business concern for your children and you lot.
I also suspect that they didn't want to be wandering around and knocking on doors in the early on hours. Perchance they had seen the news well-nigh the children in Australia and were worried about you.
There'south no demand to be annoyed. Maybe y'all could accept a box of chocolates/ bunch of flowers effectually to say sorry/ give thanks you.
Is there a reason yous slumber so deeply? Are you on medication?
You lot need to talk to the medico virtually the sleeping - sounds like anxiety keeping you awake
Incanserre - that's a lovely idea, I will post a petty notation through the letterboxes apologising!
The reason I was sleeping so deeply, I call up, was that I was painting my large chest of drawers last night with 3 coats Cuprinol - information technology has no olfactory property but I've woken upwardly feeling very sick and groggy! It'south in the room I slumber.
Certainly not on meds of any kind - I don't practise meds, ever, for myself..only ever use natural remedies. Fifty-fifty my (near) two year old has merely had liquid paracetamol in one case in her life! I'thou also ordinarily a well light sleeper!
Yes Iggly it is anxiety... But nada a doctor could do about that. Just gotta ride it out. I learned to avert the doctor when it came to mental issues, many many years ago
Yous have a baby no wonder your tired. How wide is your window open?
Yep I was reading the other sleep threads, felt so practiced to know I'g non alone. My son is usually the one that keeps me up though and he's nearly eight! He has trouble falling asleep cos of his autism and also , I never could bear to slumber railroad train him..with my daughter I was way more armed services (a discussion??)
It's wide but you'd accept to climb correct upwards n be very slim to clasp in
Parenthood is knackering. I know loads of people who accidentally sleep through noise
I too am a chip concerned almost yous sleeping in a basis floor room with a window broad open.
If yous are suffering from anxiety so you should go to your doctor. Chances are they will exist a lot more than up-to-date regarding MH issues and treating MH problems. Electric current best practice is to offering CBT and Ad's although there may exist a long waiting listing for CBT.
If you had diabetes or high BP you lot would have insulin and BP reducing medication, yous should retrieve of depression and feet similar whatsoever other illness. At that place really is no need to just ride information technology out, because unless you get given the tools such every bit CBT and/or medication y'all will never defeat it
You may accept a neuro consequence too. Autism runs in families and doesn't present the same in females. Please stop having the window open that wide op.
Op just to say I would exist a chip cautious re the Cuprinol in the room you are sleeping in.
Last twelvemonth the schoolhouse called my sister re my nephew who kept falling asleep in class ane day which is very unusual for him.
My sister took him to the doctor who could non figure out what was the crusade.
My sis had been varnishing the doors in their business firm around this time of year and hadn't realised the upshot. Luckily she figured out the crusade of his drowsiness.
I promise from now on I volition open the window a fleck less broad :-) I concur it but isn't safe though I'm usually a light sleeper!
I wouldn't take antidepressants if yous paid me !! I did have CBT counselling ii years ago simply afterward a few sessions my therapist discharged me, equally I really had nothing of note to talk about haha - I come across a very happy confident person (though everyone knows, I am admittedly insane!)
Thanks for your advice hun only honestly I only solve my probs through diet and natural remedies/ oils/ foods etc. That would include if I had type two diabetes or claret force per unit area bug (I don't but they are solved best through diet)
I literally never visit dr. except I would if I had broken bone etc, they are bully when it comes to that kinda thing, but that'south it. No meds do anything only mask symptoms, if that , except antibiotics and they aren't exactly healthy. However I don't take same view towards kids - in my kids symptom masking is skillful as I don't want them to be in pain. Distressing that was a flake ranty!! I'm so tired!
Oh yes and steroids too do more Tha mask symptoms.. Thank god touch wood nosotros don't demand them..
Taeglas - thanks for the tip! I'1000 convinced the pigment is what'due south done information technology. But on the plus side, my drawers look sexy in the morn calorie-free!
I doubtable they were worried that you lot had passed out or hurt yourself. I would have to call under those circumstances too, I'd be so worried something was wrong.
Maybe they felt awkward about knocking on your door? Do you lot know them?
Tin you get apologise, permit them know you were wearied and slept through the baby waking and say you capeesh their business? They could become friendly with you lot.
aussiemum in the common cold light of day I concur, they know me by sight but don't actually know me (there are 24 apartments in this cake of flats) and I am going to send notes to all the surrounding neighbours! I only know one, would be upset if I institute out it was her though...
