ready to lose it , should I say something? NPR
This is not pregnancy related, but my pregnancy hormones are not helping in the situation and just wanted to share, ask for opinions.
So we live in a condo 3rd floor , the neighbors above us (top floor) have 2 kids. The people are extremely loud, kids are always running and jumping around , it starts in the morning and doesn't end till 10 or 11 pm. It's constant, almost every day. seems like the parents never tell them to stop running and jumping, the father even said to me the other day " I'm sure you hear this little one jumping off the coffee table all day" I said yes, we hear everything....
Take today, I have been home all day, not feeling so good, Starting at 10 am this morning ALL I heard was running , and running and more running, then at around 5 they started jumping, sounds like the kids are jumping from a sofa or something, the apt shakes when they do and it's been going on and off all evening. I feel like I am ready to lose it, I can't take it .
I don't know how to handle this any more, I complained to a board director a while back and she said that they can do whatever they want during the hours of 8am to 11 pm and there is nothing we can do, but this is unbearable, we have been miserable for a year now- since we moved here.
So my question is should I just knock on their door and say something? I did knock on the ceiling just now because I couldn't take it any more. But it didn't help . The board director did say to me that the mom upstairs is little "crazy" and to be careful if I talk to her (not sure what that means, lol)
So what do I do?

We have the same neighbors. Except mine are next door so we share a wall. It's all day longgggg. And it's a one bedroom and they bring over relatives nightly.. Qith more childreb. We counted 16 ppl that left a few nights ago. DH finally snapped and happened to catch the father the other Monday and he told him the kids running is really shaking everyone room we have...and if he could kindly just keep the kids from running all the time. It's been pretty quiet lately. It doesn't hurt to ask nicely. Or wait until you see them in passing.

it's crazy! I don't know what some people are thinking, how can you be so inconsiderate of others? I just don't understand.
I wanted to talk to the mom last week, I saw her, but she is one of those women who never says hi or makes eye contact so I didn't know how to approach her. I hear she is very tough and kinda scary , I also heard she has yelled at and cursed out few people in the building for various reasons

Yikes! Hmm maybe approach her husband? Or call the management board... I wouldn't want it to become her yelling at you and then ring spiteful and not changing their behavior

That is a tuff situation. Are you guys set on staying in your condo? Probably not what you wanted to hear, but I would consider moving if you can.
It seems like even if you talk to this women, she isn't going to give a crap. I'm not sure how condo's work, but can you talk to someone above the board director? Could you talk to the husband instead of the wife?

we bought the place so we can't really move for at least another 2-3 years. I am going to try and talk to the husband when I see him.
I did mention it to a friend who is a lawyer and he said he can write a "warning letter" of some kind to the board . But I really don't want it to come to this. It's sad, when I first told him I don't think he believed me , well he did, but I think he thought I was exaggerating a bit , but couple of weeks ago we had him and his family over for dinner , they got to our place at 3 and left at 9:30 and the kids upstairs didn't stop running and jumping most of the night , this fried got so annoyed and felt so bad for us he offered to go with me or DH so we could talk to them, but I felt awkward involving him in this , especially when they were over for dinner, we just wanted to enjoy the night... anyway, today was another noisy day , and I am just so frustrated
