Confused

Hi Boman

I have been waiting for something/someone like this from many months. And finally your site /organization is here….

There is a family of 5 in our bldg. Husband, Wife, 2 sons and 1 old father in law. There is constant fighting going on in their house. The husband is fighting with the kids. The wife is screaming and hitting the kids. The old father in law just screams on and off. This family never stops to fight at anything.

They scream at the top of their voices and there is a general feeling in our society that maybe the wife has some mental problems. This happens - atleast 5-6 times or maybe more in a day. Nowadays they have started screaming even after 1:00 -1:30 in the night. This is getting so disturbing. When we tell our bldg. Secretary, he says it is their personal matter we cant / should not interfere. We did not want to make a police complaint as we genuinely feel sorry for the family and think if we call the cops, it might further affect the small kids in the family who as it are very traumatised by the constant inhouse bickering and fighting.

My husband did Ring their bell a couple of months ago – explained to them very politely about the entire episode. They said sorry and the matter was cool for 2-3 days but again it is back to normal. Other children and families of our society make fun of this particular family but it makes no difference to them. This is affecting my daughter also as she cannot concentrate on her studies as the fighting is ‘ON’ everyday (even this very minute). When they fight, we actually have to keep our TV volumes high so that we can’t hear what is going on. The scene is such that I get scared to call any  friends/family/guests to my house because everyone can hear what they are saying and fighting about …very very loudly and clearly. And it gets embarrassing too.

Pls someone help me decide what to do. I feel pity on this family and I am also angry with them for destroying the peace of the society. And since we are their neighbours….we would feel guilty to do anything like going to the cops.
:(
