In the United States, you have a right to have children, but they are your personal responsibility. If you happen to work for a large employer, you can get maternity leave. If your employer is generous, you\u2019ll get paid for it. If you have money, your children can attend daycare and preschool. Just make sure your kids don\u2019t disturb anyone.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">The apartment we rented is part of a complex populated mostly by the elderly or young single people. Out of 50 apartments, only one other apartment is home to a child, a 14-year old girl who lives on the ground floor. Our apartment is on the second floor of a 50-year old wood building, made of cheap construction materials. Every movement reverberates throughout the neighbors\u2019 apartments.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">We managed to stymie the<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ummforat.com\/en\/tastefully-welcoming-the-new-year-in-a-new-place\/\">first round<\/a> <\/span>of the neighbors\u2019 noise complaints by reminding the homeowners\u2019 association that federal and state laws prohibit housing discrimination based on family status, including have young children. But as the weather cooled, and our kids spent more time indoors, the homeowners association began to threaten enforcement action against our kind landlord, John, because of \u201cslamming doors\u201d and \u201cstomping.\u201d John came to the apartment to talk to me about the complaints.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cThat\u2019s the new neighbor!\u201d I told John, pointing to a 60-something woman, wearing heavy makeup and carrying a little dog, who was dressed in a checkered red and gray doggie sweater.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cI know that type,\u201d said John, who lived in North Carolina all his life. \u201cI grew up with these white Southerners. They need to understand that the world doesn\u2019t revolve around them.\u201d I considered reminding John that he, too, is a white Southerner and that the president of the homeowners\u2019 association, a leader of the movement to oust us from the building, is actually a young bachelor of Columbian descent, but I didn\u2019t want to dampen John\u2019s enthusiasm to defend our children\u2019s right to be children. The lease allows him to terminate our tenancy at any time.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Adam, 4, and Forat, 7, arrived home from preschool and school and jumped in excitement when they saw John.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cI made a dinosaur mask!\u201d Adam screamed, and pulled from his school backpack a paper plate, on which he had glued eyes and colorful triangles in the shape of a stegosaurus. Forat ran to bring her Wonder Woman cape, and the children marched in circles in the living room, singing, \u201cWe are the dinosaurs, marching, marching!\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">I checked John\u2019s reaction.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cYeah,\u201d he said. \u201cRight now, the neighbor\u2019s ceiling is vibrating. The soundproofing is terrible here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Solidarity from a neighbor-mother<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">The homeowners association announced that it would hold a hearing about the noise from our apartment and began collecting statements from the other residents. One day, on my way back from a morning run, I saw Terry, the mother of the teenager living on the ground floor. I asked her for advice.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cI moved here because of pressure from the neighbors at my previous apartment,\u201d Terry said. \u201cWhen my daughter was four, she fell off the couch and burst into tears, not from the pain but from the fear that the neighbors would evict us because of the noise she made.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cThe downstairs neighbor complains about the noise that Forat makes when she wakes up in the middle of the night and runs into our bed, because she\u2019s scared,\u201d I said. \u201cWhen our kids fight and slam doors, in addition to the anxiety we feel, because they\u2019re fighting, we\u2019re afraid it will get us evicted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Terry nodded. \u201cI refused to give a statement against you,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd I\u2019ll tell you if I hear anything else from the homeowners\u2019 association.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Israeli-Palestinian solidarity<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">It was 9 pm. My partner Osama and I lay in bed, exhausted. It had been particularly hard to get the kids to sleep that night. Adam had refused to brush his teeth and ran into the living room, shouting, \u201cTry and catch me!\u201d Forat had joined him. Their enjoyment of the game made us smile, despite our frustration at the late hour and our concern that the neighbor-witch downstairs was adding another entry to her book of complaints.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cDo you think one of the neighbors would try to hurt the children?\u201d Osama asked, trying to decipher the societal codes here that are foreign to him. He grew up in a refugee camp in the Gaza Strip, where the families were large and the walls so thin, he could hear his neighbors fart from the privacy of his family\u2019s apartment. There was no homeowners\u2019 association to register complaints.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cAbsolutely not,\u201d I said, trying to reassure him. \u201cThey\u2019re not used to children, but there\u2019s no reason to think they\u2019re violent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">In the United States, women give birth to an average of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-us-canada-57003722\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">1.6 children<\/span><\/a>.
