My kids were out as soon as they were up! Especially in the summer before it got too hot. I'm a childminder so still have children in the house.
I have neighbours who will use power tools and lawnmowers at stupid o'clock....my ndn was cutting logs at 7.30 last week....and the neighbour next to him decided to knock a rockery down at 7.10 the week before- it was still getting light!
I have neighbours who let their dogs bark in the early hours and my ndn loves a bit of car door slamming too! The man opposite loves to load his van at about 6.00..
So I don't worry about the neighbours, because they don't worry about me...

I reckon quiet bouncing and no shouting from 8am, bouncing with shouting/child noise from 9am, lawnmowers 9.30am onwards.

10am on a Sunday. Why should everyone suffer because someone can’t keep their kids amused indoors for a couple of hours. This is why we have so many selfish adults because they’re brought up thinking that only their needs matter and sod everyone else.

Are you my neighbour?

he’s retired and is so quiet Mon-Friday and as soon as the weekend arrives he’s out with the lawnmower at 8am, or power washing the garden or hammering. He’s always so bloody noisy at the weekend, when the rest of the neighbours are relaxing because they’ve worked their arses off Monday to Friday at work and just want a quiet morning with a long lie.

Only 6% of people work 9 - 5 these days, so I don't see the weekend, or just Sunday, should be treated differently.

10am is early enough on a Sunday - with no screaming!

Children make noise when they play. Why should they be forced to stay out of fheir own garden until 10am?
Ridiculous.

Because most of use aren’t entitled twats who aren’t that selfish and self centred to think the world revolves around us and have consideration and respect for others people

Whosthetabbynow · 29/03/2026 10:27

It’ll be a free for all now the clocks have gone forward.

Your children? 7am. Anyone else's? 10am. 🤣. My children never had a trampoline and they managed to play without screaming.

Clefable · 29/03/2026 10:23

I don’t let kids out to play in garden till at least 9am at weekends.

Any avoidable noise before 10 ish on a Sunday is inconsiderate.

I love next door to a church and the bells start at 9.45 😆 At least it's not every week.

ThePoshUns · 29/03/2026 10:23

9am

rwalker · 29/03/2026 10:23

Ideally 10 but at a push 9.30

7 or 8am any day. Why is Sunday different?

Never 😆

Only joking 10 am at the earliest, as long as they are not screaming.

But a lot depends on the vibe of your area

Our neighbours are fairly noisy - lots of music playing, etc, so I don't feel the need to keep the kids in the house

TheBlueKoala · 29/03/2026 10:16

Not before 10 on a week-end. And I say that as someone who wakes up at 6 anyway and whose children are teens. I just don't think it's respectful to my neighbours.
