Trampolining in the rain

[asheepatthewheel]

Sitting in my conservatory for a bit of quiet reading but kids next door are jumping up and down shouting on their trampoline.

Is it just me who thinks this is a bit odd as it's quite dark and p***g down. So much for a bit of peace

Better than jumping up and down on the sofa, exercise is good, kids are cooped up for too long, hopefully they will bounce themselves into an early bed!

That's the trouble with neighbours.
Why can't we all have our own islands, eh?!

Not your kids, not your problem. Turn your music up louder and ignore.
I expect their parents are fed up with them running riot in the house.

Kids like dogs need fresh air & exercise!!!

YABU-kids are kids and need to burn off energy

Only thing I'd be concerned about would be the trampoline being slippery.

YABU. I used to love trampolining the rain as a kid. Wet, slippery and dirty - lovely!

Surely a reverse AIBU.

How can you object to children playing outside in their own garden?

But humans are waterproof.

Hee hee goldplated don't get saying that to those expensive cosmetic companies that sell me face cream that goes through all nine lavers of skin!

Nothing wrong with it. My eldest two whip on their swimming costumes to trampoline in the rain...much to their hilarity!

We have a hose attached to ours for summer jumping, it does get really slippy in the wet. I never though to send Dd out to jump in the rain and cold. Maybe I should put waterproofs on her and send her out

Mine trampoline in snow too, rain is just a minor inconvenience. You can have a lot of fun with trampoline + hose too, especially when fully dressed.

That sounds like so much fun, can I come!

Trampolines are not toys!

I would have thought that trampolining in the rain was an accident waiting to happen!

Oh well seems its just me then! Maybe I should ask to join them and give up on the reading, might be more fun than it looks [doubtful]

It's not wise as they get very slippery, but by this late in the holidays normal rules may well fall apart.

Ours is actually better in the rain and you know it's wet than after rain when water sneaks out in rivers from the pads.

We are currently renting a flat, with no garden, while our house is extended. There are two very cooped-up children here who would give their eye teeth for a trampoline right now. Rain would be totally irrelevant!

Neighbours is neighbours, I'm afraid, and kids playing is all part of it. It's good to see kids that haven't been cooped up just because it's raining.

Having said that, jumping on a trampoline in the rain is how one of my dds broke a bone in her ankle, but that's a matter for the parents.

I remember mine jumping in snow and hail stones.
Twas fun.
In summer they would point the hose pipe at it.
I used to move the trampoline next to the house in winter so they could bounce after dark.
There are very few ways for kids to play out in the garden after dark.

Oh and they used to run out in just pants to jump in heavy rain.

Do you know what? That sounds really tempting! I'd trampoline in the rain!

Ds was out on his earlier in the rain, sometimes he's out I his pjs before breakfast. That's the beauty of having a garden, using it!

YANBU children should be seen and not heard.

Ha totally joking, trampling in the rain is inspired. What a great idea. Really fit and really fun I imagine.

Crazy to jump on it in the rain. I'm afraid my DCs had so many nasty accidents on the trampoline that I got rid of it.
