Garden Etiquette!

[Popsie3]

My garden backs onto another garden, in the summer months the family let their 3 young children play out from 7am every morning, They are always shouting and screaming, in the week days the children go off to school by 8.30 but on the weekends they are out all day, Of course children make noise in their own garden but do you think 7am is too early to be let them? My living room is at the back of the house and with all my windows closed they are still very loud!

Being woken up isn't the only problem with noise, though it's one of them.

Worse is being subjected to loud noises for a long time and not being able to see an end. OP says it sometimes goes on all day.

Even if you live next door to a school it's noisy only when the children arrive, at break and lunchtimes and when they go home.

The parents are just as inconsiderate as someone who shoves a dog outside to bark constantly because they can't be bothered to encourage it to play nicely.

No too early for me! We have a neighbour who does this, but has also moaned she hears my back door being locked each night at 10pm and shes in bed. I haven't complained to her though and just ignored her back door locking comment.
I have to tolerate her noise she has to with mine! We do get on though

I wonder if the surely children can play in their own garden on a morning" brigade would be happy for me to start cutting my grass at 7am every sunday morning?

Afterall surely i am entittled to cut MT grass at what ever day light hour i wish.

I expect to hear noise in all daylight hours whether I live in the country or the city.

So 10pm fine, 6 am fine. We are used to being up in daylight hours historically. People sleep less in summer than winter.

Between 7am and 10/11pm I'd say was fair game unless you know the neighbours work nights or have another good reason for sleeping in the daytime.

Here, I wouldn't mind hoovering at 8am on a Sunday because the attached neighbours' kids are up anyway. If we were attached to the neighbours the other side - couple, early 40s, no kids, work shifts, go to pub on night off, like to sleep in when not working - then I wouldn't.

(I mean if the houses were attached - as neighbours go, I'm quite attached to them!)

I am awake at 7am, I didn't say that they were waking me up, just wondered if anyone else thought it was unreasonable to let their children scream and shout that early and the majority do!
