What time is reasonable for children to be playing loudly in the garden at the weekend

From sunrise to sunset we have so little sun in this country we need to make fe best of it.

Mine were noisy gits. Not allowed out until 9am and rounded up again when the screaming started.

I think 8am. Our bin men are shouting / beeping from before 6, so I don’t see why children shouldn’t be in the garden. Slightly different if it screaming at the top of his lungs without intervention… it’s not really ok to scream like that in the garden ever in my opinion. I’d take my baby inside if he cried outside and wasn’t been placated after a minute or two. Obviously different if a child has injured themselves, but that’s pretty unusual.

9am Saturday, 10am Sunday. Earlier than that is just bloody selfish.

9am. I don’t want to hear anyone’s noise before 9am, I don’t want to hear shrieking children, or barking dogs, or the local glass shop throwing glass into a skip….

I live near a park and I don’t want to hear kids there before 9 either 😂

12?! lol.

We got woken on Saturday at 6:15 and this morning at 7:10. Kid seems to be unsupervised which makes it oddly stressful as he is not yet two and on their massive trampoline.

i don't know what's reasonable but this doesn't feel fair.

No one in my extended family would ever let them be very loud in the garden-we'd take them to the park (except on the rare occasions when all the chlidfree neighbours are away).
It is difficult as some children in the family are SEND, and can't understand the quiet voices because neighbours might be ill/working thing, but we try to manage things.

8am.

For a few years my cue to get up during the week was a family, not sure where they lived but it wasn't next door calling out "Bye daddy, have a good day, love you." Sounded like a couple of children about infant school age a couple of streets away.
It was very sweet and they did it every day at about 7:15am. Always made me smile. They suddenly stopped it and I really hoped there hadn't been someone complaining about it.

Anyway, I'd say it depends on the children. If they're screamers, or bouncing loud balls, then probably 9am. General playing noise 8am. Mostly quiet and the odd shout earlier.
Tbf other people's children playing noise very rarely bothers me though.

9am to 9pm I would say

In hot weather like this, 7am.

Council rules expect quiet between 11pm and 7am. After that, normal domestic noise like children playing is regarded as acceptable.

Weekends 10am and weekdays 9am, but I don't have kids. Why inflict your child's noise on others who might work all week and want a sleep in or just peace for an hour after getting up?

Neighbours had kids a similar age and would let them scream off their front porch at the bin men at 4-5am!

They'd also play with a leaf blower up till 10pm at night and urinate through the fence when a panel came off 😡

I don't let mine out (5&7) until 10am on the weekend. If they are climbing the walls then I take them to the local National Trust for a walk. We live rurally so every noise seems to be amplified. With the exception of one house all of them around us are elderly or have teens. Likewise I'll challenge any unreasonable loud noise from 9pm. I think we generally have mutual respect in our little corner.

I hear my male neighbour coughing and spluttering like youve never heard nearly every morning when going out to his van uggghhhh its 6am feel sorry for his wife.

9

I'd say anytime my grandaughter comes out into the garden with me at 7.30am she is 5 but she knows its still quiet time.. I wouldn't let my grandaughter be screeching and being really loud at any time in the day .. play yes but screeching screaming no can't be doing with parents who allow that and dont teach kids to respect a space.

8am. What time are they sending them out?

9 at the very very earliest and it would annoy me. If the kids are NT then there is no need for mindless shouting. I’ve had two families live next to me with young kids. One families kids were always screeching while the other families kids just played normally. My Mum also has a family with young kids living next to her and they kids play outside a lot. You can hear them chatting, laughing and playing. It’s lovely. It means that the odd time they are noisy you don’t care as they are generally such nice kids. They are also very polite if they kick a ball over.

parents that let their NT kids screech and shout are lazy and selfish parents. No kid is perfect all the time but continual screeching or shouting is not ok

This. Neighbours near us have young kids they release into the garden and scream their heads off constantly. Today it was 8 a.m. 😡. They get in their trampoline and scream at each other. Parents nowhere to be seen. So annoying

@MandemChickenShop said 5am so earlier?!

9 ish seems reasonable

Definitely never before 8.

Someone saying 5 am is presumably joking.

That said, I never used to send mine out into the garden to play on weekend mornings - seems bizarre.

9 the earliest. Same as I wouldn’t allow mini blondes to be out being noisy

tbh she would still be asleep /chilling in bed at 5/6/7/8/9am

I say 9 am at the weekend. Understand why some might go for earlier with a siesta during a heatwave, though I think before 8 is unreasonable regardless.
