Week 2...Spring BREAK?

[Beachmom]

I know this has been discussed before, but perfect example of "good Kids" on spring break is going on next door. It is now about 10:30, and the party has gone on every night since Sunday.(and this is the 2nd week of underage spring breakers- no adult in sight!- oh yeah- there was one there for about 15 min. when they got here!) Tonight seems to be the largest. There must be 10 cars out there and who knows how many people. My daughter just came down and asked me if they were ever going to stop so she could sleep, little one has woken up crying twice Owner knowingly rented to them (they are good kids ) well.....there sure are a lot of them, and hootin' and hollerin' must come naturally with the natural-light that they had to bring a u-haul to carry it all (no, I'm not kidding- they brought a u-haul!!) Every morning my DH has gone out picking up beer cans and cups, etc. from the front of our house.

The kicker is that the 1st day they got here, they brought me their phone # to call "before we called the sheriff"!! I have no desire to be the one to have to police the party, but when is enough enough?

Call me a killjoy, but I wouldn't think twice about calling the cops. I've had to do it to the college kids whose yard backs up to ours here. One Sunday night I was dealing with a scenario similar to yours and once it got to be about this time and my kids couldn't sleep, well, I called the police. Cops won't tell them who made the call. Problem was solved in a half hour.

A U-Haul for beer? If they are disturbing the peace and your family can't sleep, maybe you should call them first, ask them to quiet down and clean their mess, or you'll have to take further action.

Although, we had 2 groups of unrelated underage fellas an owner rented to last week, and our grounds owner who we pay to monitor things, went out to the pool at 2:30 am to ask them nicely to quiet down, and found glass broken by the pool which got in. So he closed it down for cleanup early am, and they decided to jump the fence with more beer bottles the next night (since he padlocked it at around 10 pm after it was cleaned)
So, he went back again, and one of the fellas kind of got in his face ( I am an adult, I know what i am doing blah, but meanwhile they broke more beer bottles jumping the fence or they were throwing them off the decks.
Fortunately one of the other fellas came and kind of broke things up or it could have gotten ugly, and my neighbor is a really laid back guy, so I know he didn't get nasty or loud.
But when people are drunk, you never know how they will react.

Maybe it's better to just call the Sheriff? How would they know it was you and not another neighbor?

My point exactly.

i have no problem with calling the police and i wouldn't even bother calling the home first. sleep is precious, and especially for kids so i say to heck with it - call the cops !

Beachmom, I could tell you stories that would curl your hair about what's going on with rambunctious spring-breakers this year. Let me say: you are not alone! (unfortunately)

Heck, I wouldn't hesitate to call the sheriff. In the past I had to call the police here in GA (after a few warning calls) because our next-door neighbors would go to their lake house to allow their teenaged girls to have big parties. Frequently the parties were on weeknights, and because our bedroom is on the side of our house that is on their driveway side, all of the screaming and cussing would keep us up all night. And then we'd be zombies the next day at work. The worst time was at a birthday party when the 16 year old got a brand new BMW convertible for her birthday. At about 2 AM the kids got so drunk that they filled it up with water. All I heard was kids screaming, "Oh, sh--!" The car was totaled. The parents bought her a new one a few days later. They obviously didn't care about the partying or underaged drinking. BTW these are "old money" people.

Beachmom if you know the owner or the management company I would call them first. Who knows what kind of damages are going on inside, and how the kids represented themselves. Did they pay enough of a deposit to cover whatever they have done to the place? the owner deserves to know what's happening. If that doen't stop things, then I would call the cops.
