AIBU to think that children shoule not be playing out this early??

[thereturnofshoesy]

before 6 in the morning??

the park is in the middle of houses, and in this weather we all have our windows open.
lovely way to be woken, kids slamming the metal gate

mine arent allowed out their room until 7am and even then ds just goes downstairs to play his computer

No they shouldn't - I'd be worried they had escaped without their parents knowing to be honest

I get woken up every morning at 5:20am by my neighbours being picked up in a transit van that parks under my bedroom window with the engine running ...I feel your pain

tbh at that time all I wanted to do was sleep.
I doubt they escaped.

Before 6?

I know I can't really talk because my eldest is only 3 but, as far as I'm concerned, it's not morning until at least 6.30 and there should be an hour's worth of 'coming around' time after that.

Making loads of noise before 6am, work-day or not and regardless of your age, is just selfish imo.

So, in answer to your question, YANBU. I would be tempted, and have been known to, yell out of the window for them to shut the fuck up!

Yanbu.

I'd be worried that they'd got out or been thrown out.

Wow. That is a ridiculous time to let your children out of the house. Mine don't even come out of their rooms (other than for toilet purposes) before 7.

It reminds me a bit of when DS1 was little and his best friend was a wee girl that lived just up the street. We'd get a knock on the door at 7am on a Sunday morning (everyone still in pyjamas obviously) to see if he wanted to play with her.

Honeslty the things some people complain of!

we have people pissing out of windows, mountains of rubbish parties on week nights, constant fighting and police attendance, total rudeness when you just ask for some neighbourly consideration, up at 5am , chatting and partying outside till gone midnight....masses of people smoking right under your windows, cant use any room in house or garden, on going for months and years.....

a few children playing in the park? no, no sympathy for you here im afriad!

Are you the children's mother, sweet?

6am is way too early

8am in the week

9am at weekends

"Can't use any room in house or garden", really sweet? Do you all sleep in the shed?
Just because you're having a worse time doesn't make someone else's problems obselete!

OP I can sympathise, before 6am is bloody ridiculous, the majority of people will still be sleeping for at least another hour at that time.

DS doesn't get out in the garden till at least after 8.30 as most neighbours have left or are leaving for work. He isn't allowed further than the garden (out in the street and round the cul de sac) till after lunch. It's not unreasonable to expect a bit of peace and quiet!

i don't mind kids playing in the park
that is what it is for
but ffs before 6 in the morning
imagine what they will be like when they are older

Sweet Do you live in a hole in the road and pay the mill owner to let you work 25 hours a day?

I don't know - it's weekday, most people will be getting up for work around then anyway. I'm up at 6. I think it's ok.

really
so everyone has to get up as well
it was before 6 as the alarm goes of just after
(I can sleep through that) and dh was woken by the noise.

I'm not sure that most people do get up for work at 6am. We don't. And my parents never did. We get up c. 7am. I still would assume that meant everyone else was getting up at that time too.

have to say I am surprised, I admit to starting this thinking no one would think it was ok

but the kids parents did obviously
so I shouldn't really be surprised.

I would say 8am at the absolute earliest on a weekday, and 9am at the earliest at weekends. But the noise shouldn't be overbearing, as quite a lot of people work unsociable hours.

I am amazed that a couple of posters on this thread think this is okay. But it does explain the behaviour of some kids.

I'm not seeing a problem. It's day light. It isn't insufferably hot at that hour.

I don't understand people who sleep in daylight hours. lazing about in bed until 10 means you've lost the best of the day

t was 6am not 10am. Very few people are 'lazing' in bed at 6am - they're still trying to get their normal hours of sleep.

Hmm. I live opposite a park. I think disruption is something you accept when you buy a house by a park.

YANBU before 6am is a ridiculous hour to inflict your children on the neighbours, I would be well and truly fed up seeing as my own dd didn't get up until 10.30am.

The only thing that annoyed the op was the gate clanging. That could equally have been done by dog walkers as opposed to children.

Normally people are up for work by six. The dawn chorus will be in full pelt by 4am. No one sleeps through that cacophonous din with windows open

Yes Frank have to say I have never seen kids in our park (playground is outside my bedroom window) at 6am but the dog walkers start around then.

The Op never said the kids were noisy - she said the gate clanging woke her up. So equally that could be dog walkers, joggers, or anyone else with a 6am fetish. But there was apparently no annoyance other than the gate therefore I deduce the children weren't annoying the neighbours by playing loudly
