Raising children in an apartment can be challenging.
To be fair, raising a child is chaotic regardless of where you live. However, when living in a flat, you must be careful to calm your child as soon as possible so that they do not make a fuss. Even if I sympathise with the situation, as someone who dislikes children, I would become irritated if I had to constantly hear a child crying. However, that is not the only concern for parents. They must also be concerned about the noise that their neighbours will eventually make, waking up your infant. It is simply something that cannot be removed. And, while neighbours owe it to their neighbours not to be disruptive, it is sometimes unavoidable.
That is exactly what is happening in this story. OP, you see, lives in a flat directly above a family. That’s why she always tries to be as quiet as possible in order not to disturb the baby. This time, however, she was involved in an accident and was unable to avoid it. This prompted the downstairs neighbour to call OP angrily and begin yelling at her. Even when she tried to explain the situation, her neighbour was not interested. This escalated even further when the neighbour basically assigned her complete responsibility and asked her to buy everything she needed for the child. I’m not sure what world this woman lives in, but this is not how people usually act.

We can already tell that this is going to be nonsensical.
But first, we need to read some background information to set the scene.
As OP tells us, she has been taking medications which make her dizzy.
So it wasn’t a surprise when she slipped and fell really hard.
When she was trying to assess her situation, the neighbour called angrily about the noise.
She tried to apologize many times but the woman only asked more from her.
Rather than giving in to her demands, she basically stopped the call right there.
However, not even her own parents are on her side.
To be honest, I’d like to know how a person can control how hard they fall. I’ve fallen several times in my life and have never been able to control it. After all, that is why it is called an accident. And the logic behind this woman’s argument is laughable. Not to mention that OP is a minor, and it appears that she only wanted to put pressure on OP to do what she wanted. Basically, she has to spend her own money after falling and injuring herself as a result of some dumb punishment. Even her parents aren’t on her side, which irritates me beyond belief.
People in the commenters were just as gobsmacked by this situation.
OP also cleared up a few more misunderstandings about her health.
Noise is something that is very common when you live in an apartment building.
The logic behind her argument was quite stupid.
It really is as simple as that.
It wasn’t as if she was listening to loud music.
I would just make loud noises out of spite if my neighbour was like this.
