1. OP’s neighbor wants OP to work on his hobbies according to her kid’s bedtime.

2. OP’s neighbor had five kids and was pregnant with her sixth child. OP had to work on his brother’s birthday present; hence, he used the chop saw to make a few cuts from 9 p.m. to 9:15 p.m.

3. OP received a message from his neighbor after ten minutes, telling him not to use power tools after 8 since it was her kid’s bedtime. OP said to him he had a job during the day and needed to use it only for fifteen minutes.

4. OP wanted to say that her kids should used to noise at night because they had to live with a screaming newborn for a few months, but OP refrained from saying so. She blocked OP after messaging her kid’s wakeup time to be ready for school.

OP’s neighbor demanded OP use her power tools during the day so that her children may sleep uninterrupted at night. OP explained that she had only used a chainsaw for 15 minutes and couldn’t do it during the day because she had a job. OP wanted to explain that her children should get used to hearing sounds because they had to sleep with the newborn screaming and crying after a few months, but she prevented them from saying so. OP’s neighbor stopped her after reminding her that her children needed to be ready for school by 8 a.m.

Now that you’ve heard the story, let’s dive into what Redditors had to say. Keep reading to discover other people’s perspectives on the matter.

5. A Redditor once used a power tool at night in an emergency, and a neighbor complained to everyone about being disturbed by the sound every night.

6. Redditor suggests using the powers tool every night to prove the neighbor right.

7. Yes, OP had to cut a few pieces of wood and hadn’t used the power tool for the whole fifteen minutes.

8. Redditor swapped a noisy Mustang to an Accord to avoid disturbing neighbors at 7 a.m. but is unaware that it served as their alarm.

9. Redditor misses the sound of their Mustang.

10. Redditor recommends sending a machine sound to a neighbor who needed it to get her kids into gear in the morning.

11. Redditor amuses with OP’s comment on the neighbor’s sixth kid.

12. Redditor has a great neighborhood.

13. Redditor read a complaint on the social media platform for the neighbor doing outdoor work with a chainsaw until 9:15.

14. Yes, OP was bearing the screaming and crying noises of neighbors’ children, but she couldn’t tolerate the sound of chainsaws once.

15. Redditor has a funny idea!

16. Indeed! It’s impossible to envision having six kids at the age of 27.

17. Redditor compares the sound of a chainsaw to that of a lawn mower.

18. Redditor supports OP’s neighbor because getting all of the kids to bed on time is difficult, but he is opposed to ordering others to stop working.

19. Redditor became frustrated with her noisy neighbors because she had little time to sleep.

20. According to Redditor, power tools shouldn’t be used after 9 p.m. unless they are urgent.

OP should not use power tools after 9 p.m. to avoid disturbing neighbors, and he can work on weekends if he is employed during the week. It is tough to get the kids to sleep at night, and if they wake up in the middle, a mother will be unable to get them back to sleep. As far as infant crying at night is concerned, children will become accustomed to the sound since they will hear it constantly, but the sound of a chainsaw will undoubtedly disrupt their sleep because they will hear it only once in a while. By law, OP was not guilty, but as a human being, OP should consider other people’s issues and not be the cause of them. What are your thoughts on this?
