Neighbours kids playing outside early…

But again, that would be acceptable as it’s before11, the kids go out after 7. The OP didn’t even try any suggestions before complaining which proves she is unreasonable

The point is through after 7am there can be noise, yes not ridiculous screaming and shouting but the OP didn’t even try the suggestions before complaining which definitely makes her seem unreasonable and entitled and she thinks everyone should fit in with her

So the sound of a car engine, which quite likely is not even very noisy, for a minute or so compared with screaming children which is much louder and almost certainly goes on for far longer than a minute. The two don't compare in the slightest.

I think she was right to speak to them and it doesn't sound like she actually said to quieten down but you exaggerate why don't you.

Totally agree, if I was the neighbour I would deliberately make some more noise just to per her off. Can you imagine if she decided to make a formal complaint to anywhere? ‘My precious little boy of 19 is only able to get about 8 hours of sleep as the next door neighbours children are in the garden at 8am and having fun’ 🙄 I bet anything that this mum and son complain about everything , feel bad for those poor neighbours of hers

Isn’t she!

If I were the neighbour I’d have had a right laugh about a mother of an adult son coming to sort out her little boy’s problem for him!

Seems like the OP just wanted to moan. She didn’t even try any of the suggestions before complaining. She is so entitled

wht Did you bother asking any of us our opinion then? So basically you were moaning about noise but hadnt even tried ear plugs etc and decided to complain anyway.
if you had even tried solutions first but you are way too entitled. Can’t get over the cheek of you and your son

Totally agree. She wanted everyone to agree with her. I can’t believe she had the nerve to ask them to quieten down. That’s so unfair as it’s going to make the parents feel anxious if they are a bit too loud. Even if her sons got to sleep at 12am he would still be getting 8 hours sleep. Can’t believe how entitled she is. I hope if he wakes them up when returning home late at night that they ask him to not bring his car back until 8am. The OP is a typical Karen

The hours for consideration to noise are between 11am and 7pm. The OP sounds completely entitled and if her son at 19 can’t complain himself without Mummy’s help it’s a joke

But no one said it wouldn’t. The hours for consideration for noise is 11pm until 7am so the OP has no leg to stand on

thats a ridiculous comparison. The hours for which people need to be considerate is 11pm until 7am. I would get if it was screaming all day but I highly doubt it

Is that supposed to be funny?

Why do other people in other households have to be quiet for someone else. Seriously 🙄

If your Son is woken up could he maybe go into another room to finish his sleep where he can't hear the kids playing? If it's only an hour before he's due to get up anyway even a snooze on the sofa would benefit him.

This is how I'm playing it. I don't actually want to be in my garden that late but lack of consideration on one side means less need for curtailing of normal activities on the other.

I think 8am is too early to play in the garden. I have a 3 and 5 year old, the 3 year old wanted to play outside at 7am but I won't let him til at least 9 because I know they sometimes shout. I wouldn't let them pay outside at 8, not fair to the neighbours so YANBU. The trouble is there's not a lot you can do about it. Can he keep his bedroom window closed and try ear plugs, I'd rather that that go knocking on their door.
I work shifts myself till midnight but don't have that trouble as my kids get me up early in the morning anyway

In what world is screaming not too loud?

I've always been tiered and low iron actually my sleep since cancer has been in stretches of 2 to 3 hours

Fair dos, that sounds hard. I'd struggle to keep going on that little sleep.

The children are only screeching, not to loud music. And nighttime hours are 11pm to 7am so them screeching from 8am is comparable to you screeching until 10pm. Go ahead without the music as that's fair enough.

I don't agree with screeching or shrieking or screaming or excessively loud music at any hour myself. I do think it's fair enough that if children are playing out from 8am and making noise then adults or teens can be outside making similar noise until 10pm though.

My neighbours do occasionally have outside gatherings and are noisy in the evening, and teens are playing noisy ball games at 9pm or later.

8am IS early.

Maybe go out every night from 9-11pm and sit in your garden screeching to loud music. Better still, invite friends round for play dates and party in the garden

The '8am is not early' brigade would have food for thought

Personally I can understand that 8am feels early, especially if they are shrieking at the top of their voices but it doesn't feel unreasonable enough to ask them to stop. If the parents work from home I wonder if 8 is the morning work zoom call so ironically having them in the house is too noisy?! If you have a good relationship with families maybe you could politely request that that until 9 it's a bit quieter but beyond that I think you/your son will have to live with it. PS Earplugs are a good idea.

Exactly.

Absolutely it does. Neither of those are unreasonable, as long as the playing and the music isn't too loud

If it’s ok for kids to be out and screaming at 8 am then it would be ok for me to sit in my garden having a few wines with some music till 11pm. Works both ways.
