But one fine winter evening, when it was cold and snowing outside, and the original poster was at home, everything changed. According to the girl’s own words, she’s anemic and takes various medications, and the new medicine that the doctor had prescribed to her made her a bit dizzy. And so, at some point, she spilled water on the floor, stood up to wipe it up – and fell with a crash, slipping on the same spilled water.
However, when the girl tried to find support from her own parents, their reaction also surprised her a lot – they said that the daughter should be more careful and not wake up the neighbor’s kid. The neighbor’s partner, with whom the author also tried to talk about this, said that they were too busy with work and were completely unaware of what was happening, so the only thing the OP could do was try to seek support online. Which is exactly what she did.

“I was a mom myself and I understand perfectly well what this means. On the other hand, such demands for some kind of compensation, in my opinion, look completely inappropriate here. After all, this mother understood perfectly well that in such a building you will hear literally any loud sounds coming from neighboring apartments.”
“Moreover, I’m almost sure that the child’s crying also woke up both this girl and her parents more than once at the most inopportune times. But I don’t think it occurred to them to demand any kind of compensation from the mom. Yes, this is an everyday situation. Yes, it’s very unpleasant, but this happens quite often, and it’s worth being tolerant of each other,” Irina presumes.
