To be fed up of screaming children outside

I probably am...

But the kids outside, it's all I can hear on warm evenings, bickering, screaming, shouting, arguing.

Even my DD is fed up with them and has stopped going out to play with them.

YABU and will drive yourself mad. It's been warm for one day. Get some earplugs! Grin

Try having it from the adults!! My neighbours lovely as they mostly are stand in their forcourts drinking smoking and shouting over the street to one another!! Annoying! Kids are fine in comparison altho they dont mind bashing your car!

If they're really screaming then YANBU. I can hear kids around here playing out but they're not screaming so it's nice to hear.

Debeezandbirds · 22/05/2012 19:36

Wine for you OP.

It's gonna be sunny for a while yet

YANBU to be annoyed, long as you don't turn into that woman who chases them with a brush. Wink

Kids playing noisily outside are a pain in the arse so I reckon YANBU. Get one of those things that make a noise only young people can hear. Then retreat to your curmudgeonly cave and I'll meet you there for that Wine from Debeez

Sorry about that. That will be my kids

Debeezandbirds · 22/05/2012 19:42

Don't have much ladies, am a beer kinda girl, so share nice.

Next door is having a flipping BBQ. Such nice smells. One day of sun and they got that organised, I had to rush out for ice cream as I was not prepared for such glorious weather.

DublinMammy · 22/05/2012 19:45

Thanks Debeez, enjoy your beer..... Go and sniff right beside the neighbours, they may throw you a sausage....

ElizabethPonsonby · 22/05/2012 19:45

Can I swap my screaming indoors child for an outdoors one?

Debeezandbirds · 22/05/2012 19:46

Mr Next Door throwing me his sausage! Oh-er!

I live opposite the Jeremy Kyle show live.
I can't say I hate it though, it's very entertainingGrin
My friend commented yesterday, 'wow Netto, it's like the doleys tea party over there'.
Quite.

TheFlyingFishFinger · 22/05/2012 19:50

Ooooh thanks debeez

Unfortunately when the kids go on its only quiet for a little bit then the chavs come out

Mmmm been so long since I've had a BBQ! You should go and snaffle some Grin

Yeah, Debeez, go and snaffle your neighbour's sausage

(Stifles childish snicker)

We had a BBQ this evening, it was lovely.

Just thought you would like to know :)

Dollydoolally · 22/05/2012 21:08

I am sick of it already too, have had all the neighbours' kids round, shouting, yelling, bouncing on the trampoline. I'm seriously considering giving up my part-time job to go full-time, purely to avoid the long, tedious evenings of the summer months.... YANBU!

Deadsouls · 22/05/2012 21:28

YABU stop being a miserable git!
