A mum in Australia is shocked after receiving a letter from an anonymous neighbour complaining about her newborn baby.
The letter, left in the mailbox of Queensland mum Tiffany this week, slammed the noise her four-month-old boy was making, leaving her "in tears".
The letter stated it was written "on behalf of your neighbours… regarding the noise level coming from your residence, particularly the crying of your baby".
Tiffany was stunned because she, her partner and newborn child live on a busy road with a "reputation for hoons", which also has a school, petrol station and police station, news.com.au reported.
"We understand that babies cry but we can... hear everything at all hours of the day," the anonymous neighbour wrote, as reported by news.com.au.
"The prolonged and frequent crying has disrupted your fellow neighbours… We have tried closing our windows and doors."
Then the neighbour made a cheeky request.
"We value being good neighbours and respecting each other's space but wanted to reach out and ask if it would be possible to close your rear doors and windows while the baby is feeling unsettled."
The neighbour concluded they would "appreciate your understanding and cooperation".
But Tiffany told Yahoo News Australia she believes the neighbours know "deep down... how unreasonable it is to complain about a baby crying in suburbia".
"When you read the undertones, you know the reason they've used that language is to cause guilt," she added.
