To hate fireworks and those who set them off

I had just gotten my two year old who is a very bad sleeper and is sleep regressing down and suddenly very loud fireworks start which of course wakes her up.

I am so tired I am ready to cry.

9.30 on a Monday night, it’s not Mardi Gras! Surely they have jobs to go to in the morning.

Also, I don’t have one but I feel sorry for the dogs as well, the fireworks must scare them!

Anyway writing that down made me feel better.

Tons of fireworks around here, hopefully will end around 11pm as its a school day tomorrow.

Another load on Nov 5th, hey ho. Dog hates them but has not been quite so freaked out this year.

Totally agree with you - if they have to have them (and they are really are unsustainable so why bother) - they should have silent ones! Our cats are terrified and I feel it massively inappropriate when there is a war raging in Europe, imagine how you’d feel to escape conflict to find people let off terrifying noises for fun 😫

I'm sorry you don't like fireworks. I love them. And it's Diwali. Loads of lights and bangs in my area of London.

Oh, I am ignorant and didn’t know that! Okay that is more reasonable.

Toddler back asleep, I have calmed down. And will be reading up on festivals.

Happy Diwali.

YANBU.
I agree with you.

It’s Diwali, that’s why, we’ve got them flying about our way too. YANBU though.

No, it's Diwali.

Hope your little one settles again soon.
