Parenting is hard, and it’s especially hard when the people around you don’t understand that babies are loud. Kids make noise. While there are things parents can and should do to help regulate things like feelings and smashing pots and pans together, sometimes you just have to let your kids cry it out.
Specifically, they need to cry it out when they’re sleep training. Babies often need to be taught to fall back asleep themselves without being comforted by their parents every single time. It can be a really challenging process that involves lots of screaming, and in an apartment building, that’s rough for everyone.

“Neighbors left this on the door,” wrote @KittyBeeJr. “im gonna bake them some cookies.”

The letter reads:
Apartment 207 here… I regret to inform you we have…
