AIBU to think you don't let your children play out in the garden to scream at each other/play at 7.45 on a Sunday morning!

I genuinely thought I had had a massive lie in when I was woken up by the sound of children playing -but no, it was before 8am!

Mum has just ineffectually started shushing them but was met with a toddler screaming 'NO' at her

Now I appreciate these children may be early risers etc but have a bit of consideration for your neighbours, surely?!

Yanbu.

My next door neighbours let their grandchildren outsideat 7.30 yesterday morning. I thought it was far too early but dp and dsis said I was being stupid and that kids noise isn't offensive whatever the time.
I still won't let mine out until 9 on a weekend.

9
thats the rule.

Yanbu, mine are going out at nine its inconsiderate

No I never allow it although as next door treated us to a live band and swearing guests until three am the other week, suddenly I'm not as bothered about them going out early

Mine will be out of the door at 9, before then is inconsiderate. Most of the street will be on their way to church at that time anyway so we won't disturb anybody.

Would rather have children playing than the road being dug up which is what we've had since 8.

Bit torn. If their kids have been up creating havoc since 5.00, they probably think 7.45 is the middle of the day and a very reasonable time to be outside in the sunshine. (We had days likes this)

I can see your point of view though.

Sometimes when you've been up with screaming kids from 5.30am, 7.45 seems like mid morning

We have church bells from 8.30 so that's fair game.

Mine don't go out till 10am on a Sunday. Any earlier than that is inconsiderate to the neighbours however which ever neighbour was mowing their bloody lawn at 8am this morning needs to do one

I would say 7.30am Saturday
8.00 am Sunday.

16 minutes to go, we are counting here. Though in our house they all carry on playing fighting in our bed while we sneak outside!

Yes far to early for shouting.

Make sure you have a siesta!

Exactly the same happened here. I know these neighbours couldn't care less about anyone else as they also have two dogs that bark and bark. So frustrating. I don't feel able to say anything to them - I don't want to create any bad feelings.

YANBU. People just don't think - or do think and don't care. Can you talk to them?

It's bloody gorgeous outside here. While I do agree it is early (and I would not allow it for my DC) I do not have it in me to be mardy about children enjoying this fabulous day however early or late they wish to do so.

9am is the watershed

I keep to 9am although that still pisses off my neighbour who has conveniently forgotten that until two years ago her DCs went out at 7:30am to play police cars up and down the street every weekend and holiday

Happy, I think they are new as they are directly behind me and I've never heard children before (can't see into their garden at this time of year due to their massive lilac)

So I don't know them to talk to

We always had a 9 o'clock rule when mine were that age and any screaming it was back in the house -there is a big difference between happy playing noises and screaming for the sake of it

If it's low level playing noises then I think it's reasonable for them to play in their own garden whenever they choose.

Mine are all still in bed but next doors have been out for a while. I don't mind, in fact, I must be weird in liking the sound of children playing!
Its never woken me up, though ds is usually awake by 7:30/8 so it doesn't disturb a lie in or anything.
And blimey, it's so rarely gorgeous like this in the morning, that I've gone out to eat my breakfast out there - is that frowned upon? Bein GBPout in my garden before 9am on a Sunday? Actually, I don't give a toss if it is, it's my bloody garden!

Bein GBPout??

Being out

agree 9 am is the deal.
I fact it should be the law.
