It's a noisy kids outside one

Screeching like they have red hot pokers up their derrieres? it sounds like they are being tortured.
It's not normal noise.

It's ragged shrill screeching that is far from pleasant.

Kids can still enjoy themselves without screetching. That way everyone else can enjoy the Summer nights as well. People are far too precous these days about centering kids all the time at the expense of everyone else, it does them no good

No you are not being unreasonable @bloodyhellKen22 it appears to me that many parents these days are bringing up selfish and entitled children. God help us all. 😔

Noise rules generally state 11pm. It's summer break here so children are in holiday mode 🤷‍♀️

The screaming is hard to take I agree. But normal playing should be OK . The world doesn't revolve around any one group , like babies, etc. I lived in a city with constant noise , just a fact of life . So few opportunities to kids to congregate outside . Just have to put up with it I'm afraid.

I think yabu. It's still light, it's summer let them enjoy themselves.

We are passed the days of "children should be seen and not heard"

I bet they've been in for at least an hour now as it goes dark and the temp drops

Summer hols start in a few weeks... better start getting used to it

Your child is asleep, you’re not at your house and you’re in bed really early. Seems more like a you problem than anything else.

Actually I realise I've used this thread to sound off a bit about my own situation because it's really making me miserable ATM.
But even if OP is not in her own home she still has a right to be annoyed about the noise.

How old are your kids? Is it a special occasion?

My kids are still outside playing football with their cousins.

You arent in North East Scotland are you OP?

Adults never sit outside late into the evening and make noise, never ever 😄

OP isn’t even in her own home though, she’s visiting someone else’s

Wouldn’t bother me at all. But I was raised somewhere where at 9:30pm you’re just starting your evening, children, dogs etc in tow. I love a loud summer night!

Well the children I have the problem with are playing outside my house EVERY evening - not just the weekend.
Also they don't even live in my street. They just congregate here. And they are extremely cheeky and some of them very foul mouthed. As well as very noisy.
I think it's great children get the chance to play outside. But they shouldn't be making life difficult for people who are trying to get on with their lives in their own homes.

There is no chance i would have been allowed to scream and screech outside at 9:30pm as a kid, nor would I allow my kids to do so.

You know: parenting, respecting others and all that...

My neighbours 2 doors down are having a party. In their garden . Music/base and laughing. Kids excited etc. I can easy sleep though it though. So can my kids. I think maybe it because I never made things quite for them.

We have this, thankfully not screaming and I don't mind hearing them play generally but we have asked them to pack it in with the incessant basketball after 9.30pm.

I love my kids playing outside and encourage it but they are in from 9pm for showers and a snack before bed. They are 12 and 9. However there are 4 year olds on my road that are regularly outside til 10.30 or later screaming, crying, shouting etc I think its neglectful. When do these children shower is what I wonder 🤔 I love Autumn and Spring more than Summer for that reason. Brighter long days bit still dark at 8.30ish so at least things quieten down then.

It's not the playing, being outside, making happy noise, being children that's a problem, it's the screeching like they are being tortured that is.

I think 10 pm is the cut off really. If it's light outside I think it's fine.

So I've got a grass embankment opposite my house. For the past almost 3 weeks I
been having a problem with a gang of older primary school children playing there. And I'm talking about literally for hours on end. The really irritating thing is there is a playing field with basketball net and children's play equipment a two minute walk round the corner.
It's mainly girls and the noise they make is unbelievable. I don't understand this full on screaming. I was always taught
about the "crying wolf" thing: you don't scream when you are playing because then if any thing bad happens and you scream people will think you are just playing. Well these girls literally scream most of the time. If anyone was, God forbid, to hurt them or abduct them or similar no one would take any notice because they scream all the time.
Last night it was 10 pm when they left. Tonight a bit earlier. And I'm worn out with them. I've started looking at houses on Rightmove but I expect any where I could afford to move to would have similar problems . And other unrelated ones as well.

So OP I. totally sympathise with you.
,

Totally this. Fgs it's the first weekend of warm weather we've had, it's the longest day. Celebrate that they are outside playing not inside on a bloody screen.

If you were in France or Spain this would be expected in mid summer.

Well the dc are playing in their own neighbourhood and you’re the visitor op so I think you need to accept it.
They’ll be gone in soon.

And we would have completely ignored them yes 😂
