Plenty of responsible parents up at 6.30 on all sorts of days.

That response makes not sense.

I'm with you OP.
I saw a man with a 5yo carrying a ball on their way to a field away from houses at 6:50 this morning. Much more considerate.

Namechangerage · 05/04/2026 09:50

OP, you are not unreasonable. We know our kids are early risers so we planned an indoor bit first - treasure hunt that led them to their big eggs. Then breakfast and outside at 8.30.

It’s very possible to make it magical without disrupting your neighbours and acting like entitled arseholes (parents not the kids obvs!)

JumpinJehoshaphat · 05/04/2026 09:50

6:30? What absolute arseholes.

No, there’s lots of ways to make memories (obviously😅) but it is a lovely one, that really doesn’t impact anyone else. Shut ya windows and seethe in silence. Or you know, get on with your own life and be grateful for the extra hour to enjoy the world 😉

It’s also totally possible to pre-plan if your kids are early wakers and not have to go outside at the crack of dawn.

Yes but I know long words so I call it use of hyperbole.

But people who object to kids being noisy outside once a year are Scroogey as McDuck and need to get over their meanness. Maybe therapy.

Show quote history

Hyperbole is a shorter word than exaggerate so not quite sure you achieved your aim with that comment 😂

And there you go again, no ones objecting to kids being out

But why can’t the parents teach them to be considerate of others?

Mine were up at 6.30. We did an indoor trail to their “big eggs” (groundbreaking!) and let them out for the bunny hunt after breakfast at 8.30 - our reason was that our neighbours were sleeping. They were fine and had a really great morning. Am I a McDuck?

If it helps, the sugar rush should carry them through until lunchtime and then they’ll zonk out giving you a quiet afternoon.

And later they won’t want to sleep tonight so the parents will pay then…… 😁

Chairdilemma · 05/04/2026 09:46

I agree with you Op. We have arseholes like that here too. Except it's OAP's! One is a set of old ladies who take their morning walk around 730am, talking as LOUDLY as possible as they pass people's windows. A few months ago one had a birthday, and they were out on a Sunday morning at 8am with those blowy horn things. Another is an old guy who has a BOOMING voice and he repeatedly calls his dogs name at 7am. FUCK OFF! A neighbour at our last house arranged for his gardeners to mow his lawn (with a loud petrol mower) at 740am on a Bank Holiday. Utter twats!

I would have shouted out of the window if I was you!

AliceAbsolum · 05/04/2026 06:45

Both the parents outside with the kids, several kids running around screaming at 6.30am. Do people have no shame?

I'd be very pissed off, I hate being woken up early.

You might find it necessary to mow the lawn at 6.30am next Sunday morning...

Not really, because your other neighbours don't deserve it, but wouldn't it be tempting!

Show quote history

Why are you excusing this selfish behaviour?! Patronising and condescending in one go, well done 👏

I have young kids and we set up a little trail indoors to tide them over. Then they had breakfast and were allowed out at 8.30.

Oh my god this is so miserable! It’s once a year, for a few year max. Your kids are only little once, make some memories with them

Memories don't have to be made at 6.30am outside.

A lot of child hating too, which is kind of mind boggling on this site. Happy noise outside is always good 😊

And you use your parent words and say "not now it's too early, let's pop Watership Down on then we'll all be in the mood for some egg hunt fun after that"

Exactly.
Followed by Bambi in the afternoon.
Ah memories…

RisingSunn · 05/04/2026 09:39

Mine were ready to be in the garden at 6.50am - I held them off till 8.00am and even then they had to be very quiet.

6.30am is very inconsiderate.

Yanbu.
I have never come across this in the busy area i live in.
Only the dregs allow their children out to scream and run a round waking their neighbours at 6.30am.

The rest of us know better and have respect for others.

@Rileysp my DC had fun at Easter, but we didn’t hype it up/commercialise it so they would be up at 6.30 at screaming pitch.

I think it’s fine.
Its a bit of fun for 5 mins for kids
It’s only once a year.

It's only 5 mins of fun so do it at a reasonable time.....
