Seeking Grooms

Dear Auntyji, My neighbour’s kids are driving me crazy. They’re loud and noisy, and have no respect for the elderly. In my day, children were seen, not heard, but nowadays, pata nahin kyon, they are always heard, sometimes well past midnight. When I try to tell them to keep quiet, they mock me and repeat what I say. The little boy even wags his finger back at me. Their mother spends her entire day either talking on the phone in her mother-tongue, or looking for people to talk to. My afternoon naps are now history. How do I make these little brats history?

Grumpy Grandma, Wentworthville

Dear Grumpy Grandma,

I suggest you move house. Some kids nowadays have very little respect for their parents, so its not likely that they’ll even listen to you. Parents have a way of explaining the racket their kids make by simply saying, ‘They’re just being kids!’ or blaming it on ADHD. Of course, I can’t imagine what they’re doing awake beyond midnight, maybe their parents are asleep. If moving house is not an option, take the civilized approach and explain to the mother, in polite but simple terms, that she needs to keep her kids quiet, at least after 10pm. If this doesn’t work either, counterattack would be the best solution. If you can’t beat them, join them. When their house is quiet, presumably because the kids are napping or in bed, make as much noise as you can. Talk loudly, knock over kitchen utensils, turn up the volume on the radio or TV, listen to bhajans at full blast, until they finally wake up. Their parents should finally get this not-too-subtle hint, and if they still don’t, use the final weapon – get yourself a really good pair of earplugs.
