Tolerance of little kids

[madeyemoodysmum]

I fully aware I’m unreasonable but since my kids hit 10 and older my tolerance of little kids is sooooo low.

Currently my neighbors kids is screeching and I want to shout ‘shut up for the love of god’.

Ahhhhhhhggggggggg

I need a big house in the country with NO neighbours

Please tell me I’m not alone. .

Can't stand the screeching and shouting

Aaaaggghhhhhhhh

The noise drives me mad and I'm talking from present experience as mine are 3 and 4! I control it as best I can and I'm not immune to their noise - as soon as they screech (especially when in the garden) I warn them to stop or else they'll have to come in which usually works thankfully!

I generally like other peoples young children and have high noise tolerance. I do have young children myself (8, 6 and 4) but generally prefer this age to babies as more interesting (they can talk).

Well 🙄

Well what?

They don’t seem to be able to laugh and play, it’s blood curdling screaming endlessly and fuckin squeaking trampolines!!!

I live very close to a playground. Screaming and shreeking from 7 to 10. Then the older kids take over with the laughing/shouting/swearing. One swing is incredibly squeaky, keep meaning to go over with some WD40. I am a very very old person so all young people anmoy me obviously jealous of their youth and freedom.

It's not just you. Our DS is 12 years old and we went to London the other day. There were some toddlers playing on the station - running about screeching at the top of their voices.

He said 'why do kids have to be so loud' - apparently, according to him, he 'was never THAT loud mum'. Oh, I think you were my lad, I think you were....

My neighbours have just been over to complain about my nephew playing in the garden. We put up with years of their controlled crying, squeaky trampoline, water gun fights and full on screaming. They can sod off 😂

The kids are mostly cute & don’t know any batter - it’s the sodding parents I was to batter!!

I love hearing the kids playing out but the god dam ear piercing squealing does my head it 😱🤬

I’m quite happy to hear them chattering/playing in cafes etc the toddkers/children rarely bother me but the fecking parents do!

I think it works both ways tbh, I have a baby and I have very little tolerance for the attitude and babying involved with older kids. Children in general are quite annoying in all honesty and we're generally just more accepting of behaviours we're used to from our own children who we love dearly.

You are obviously not alone, there's enough threads on here with intolerant people moaning about kids playing.

I'm sure your neighbours would be more than happy for you to move to that house in the country.

Babies crying because they're upset / hungry is fine by me (but I don't like it if it seems the parents are leaving them to cry for too long).
I think small children are lovely, but there are one or two 'screamers' round here, and I really do wish their parents would teach them that it's not appropriate unless they are hurt or in danger.

Mine are older too
My tolerance is low and tbh I don't find them cute at all
I think it's hormonal- nature's way of saying 'no more now'
However, a post a couple of days ago left me tearful - DH was worried about me - with a woman really struggling and no one there to help. I'd have looked after that baby to let her have a break and I couldn't bear the idea of my DD's in same position

My tolerance is extremely low and I have a four year old! Let's face it, young kids are, by and large, pretty irritating.

By the time I'm out of this stage, I'll have zero patience for it.
