If you haven’t heard of the ‘cry-it-out’ method, brace yourself for the parenting lesson which involves leaving a baby to cry until they can cry no more. With this in mind, an exhausted mum in the US sent a letter of apology to her neighbour after her baby had been crying all night after said method.
The letter was penned by the mum and read: “Apartment 207 here. I regret to inform you that we have begun sleep training our son.
“After many sleepless nights thanks to the dreaded 4-month sleep regression, we have decided it is time to start the cry-it-out method.
“If you hear the cries please pray for me and know I am also crying and going insane.
“I’m very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you, let’s hope it doesn’t last long.”
“Please know I am not neglecting him, but I will let him try to self-soothe for 45-60 minutes at a time during this period.
“I will be in the room every 5-10 minutes to reassure him he is not alone and is OK.

“If you start to feel hatred towards us just give us a friendly knock on the door and I will bring you a shot of tequila to mend our neighbour-ship.
“It’s cheap tequila but it will calm your nerves, it’s been tested and proven to work by yours truly.
“Anyhow keep us in your prayers and turn the TV volume up.
“If you need milk, sugar, or eggs we have some. And tequila too just swing by.”
People left kind comments including ‘with a note like that I would not care what they do’, and ‘we need more neighbours like them in the world’.
And earplugs.
