Kids screaming in garden next door!

I know this is an old thread, but I needed to comment. The people saying just let kids be kids, either just let their kids do as they please or their kids are also screamers, or they dont live next door to a kid that screams in the garden for 8 hours a day. I have absolutely no problem with kids playing outdoors and having fun, but the high pitched screams because they are fighting with their sibling constantly gets wearing. Why should people have to shut doors or wear headphones because a neighbour is being inconsiderate. Children also need to learn that they are part of a community and their actions can affect other people. My children always played outside when they were younger, but they knew if they screamed they went indoors. They soon learnt. And I do understand some children use screaming as a way of communication, but when it's used to get their own way, its quite different. Personally, I have PTSD and I am neurodivergent, so for hours every day I am in flight or fight because it sets me off. Even if you think you known your neighbours, yiu probably dont have a clue what affects it may have on them. And please dont tell me I should move, or wear headphones etc, because people shouldn't have to uproot their lives because of inconsiderate behaviour. And just a final point, we live in a close with a lot of children, who run, cycle and scoot down the road, and they are definitely not quiet. I really dont mind it. If i am outdoors they will chat to me and bring me flowrs. BUT, the difference is, any behaviour that is getting a bit out of hand, those kids are told off by their mothers.

If they polish you can use „POLISH REMOVER” 🤣

Kids being brought up with manners and consideration for the environment they live in.
How rude.

What so it's bad parenting to teach your children consideration for others?? I was the same, 2 boys, happy to let them play out and be kids but screaming and shouting at the top of their lungs = not ok!!
The problem is when you're expecting the noise you're almost waiting for it and it can seem much worse than it is. At the end of the day excessive noise can and does affect the enjoyment of your home and garden. I'm in exactly the same position and am trying to move! As we speak I have next doors kids kicking their football onto my lean to roof (on purpose). I just wouldn't of let my kids behave that way but I guess some parents don't care!

This is perfect! 😂😂😂

I've introduced some of the neighbour kids to Slipknot by blaring it with the windows open during their screaming matches and fights. I'll have them singing along to People = Sh!t in no time!

Wait . . . Have I missed something?? Nobody has commented on how intolerant the UK is when it comes to kid noise.

Damn. I've checked off 'noise cancelling headphones', 'move to the country' and thought I was on my way to a MN full house. 😂

Seriously, op, just ask them politely if they can calm things down.

It is really annoying. Screaching kids are the worst.

We have two young teen boys next to us who are out playing basketball a lot. I honestly just think how nice it is that they're not inside on screens all the time

It’s always hair washing, isn’t it?!

”My eyes!! Mummeeeeee!! It stings! Water is too hot, no I meant too cold.”
occasionally I think “fine, have dirty hair! What do I care?” 🤣🤣

To all the parents who manage to have kids that don’t scream send some tips my way.
I think this is absolutely crazy.
kids scream it’s what they do whether anyone’s going to tell me different.
move house to the middle of nowhere

It does seem like a really odd thing to be quoting… 🌞 🌧️ ❄️ !

I hear you OP. So kids want to play- fine but why should you have to listen to screeching. We should be considerate. I wake 5ish but would not get mower or vacuum.cleaner out as I would not want to annoy my nieghbours. It up to parents to direct the kids re consideration.

@Billyho crikey, I'm not gonna get into an argument about the weather. Rock bottom. Night

Oh yeah, they always get the weather right, especially 6 weeks in advance 🤦‍♀️

@Abracadabra12345 I'm in SE, it's a bit meh, but I meant from what I heard on the news when they said it was looking like it might be a wash out

Not here in the SE. And it's only barely the start of summer - beginning of June

Did you move to somewhere without neighbours that could be heard?

I had a similar situation and eventually after 3 years and what I felt like a nervous breakdown over it we eventually moved. Turns out for many many reasons it was the best thing we ever did. All aspects of life are better weirdly, not just the location and quiet.

@Abracadabra12345 she needn't worry, summer is looking like a five min wonder this year anyways

I think the point was that she couldn't bear a whole summer of it and describing the last 5 times? So dreading a whole summer of it

I'm late to this, but 5 times this year? You poor thing 😂

I can assure you, your kids are no better than others……

put them and you on whatever pedestal you like!
