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

Oh yes we have a 'Mr Motorbike' as well. Except he revs for a lot longer and curses now and then.

Just take the fucking thing to garage if you can't fix it you imbecile.

And he lets his stupid yappy Dogs yap for ages.

I could go on, he's an asshole!

OP, yanbu. At all.

My neighbours dc are out at this kind of time too.

On Sunday I was woken up at 6.20 by the whole fecking family having breakfast (loudly) in their garden - not a simple eating outside kind of thing, but an impromptu last minute decision which them involved lots of calling back into the house from the bottom of the garden to bring this/don't forget that.

Given that this follows a night of broken sleep as they are in te middle of some kind of wildlife study which involves a bright light left on all night to attract moths.y bedroom has velux windows - open the window to let in air (obligatory in this heat) and the curtains move with it, so I have that bloody light shining into room all night.

And all this on a Sunday morning. Lovely.

Yanbu op

Op, YANBU. At all.

Just because the gate is open, just because there's no law against it and just because you had the temerity to accept a house near a park, doesn't mean you can't have a grumble about inconsiderate parents letting their kids play outside at the crack of dawn.

8am weekdays and 9am on weekends around here.

Your neighbours sound like total arseholes Panda.

I've worked for 30 years, and dh for 35. Neither of us have ever got up at 6:00 am. I don't know anyone who gets up at that time for work

MrTumblesBavarianFanbase don't get your post
I mentioned that they playing football....as it seems that is what they were doing.

we get up just after 6 most days. but as first day of school holidays, I didn't have to, so annoying that because some one thought their little darlings needed to play out at silly oclock, I got woken up before 6

orange my Ds was up at 4:30am this morning for work as it was preferable to drive for 4 hours when it was not too hot and then finish work early in the afternoon. His boss didn't care when the work was done, as long as it was done. So many people are up and moving before 6am.

Of course YANBU, just as making noise after 11pm is rude. Mine stay I the house til 9am on w/e though they are awake by 7.

Oh well that's okay then Jane. As long as your DS has to be up exceptionally early that should set the pace for everyone else

YANBU. No need for kids to play out before 9.30 a.m. at the earliest! That said, I don't object to them playing out until 9.30/10 p.m. during the long summer nights, personally.

Our society is far too set up for the needs of larks and not enough for owls, in my opinion.

What Planet are some of you on? Lazing in bed at 6am... No, I personally am not lazing. I am snoring, dreaming and possibly farting, soundly asleep with window open. You cannot
Compare the sounds of regular noise like birds to the noises from the selfish who don't give a shit about others and their sleeping habits.

Most working people either do not get up around 6am.. A normal day I get up at 7:30.. At the moment this is 8:45.

Op I would make a complaint. It is unacceptable, despite what some people on here would try and let you believe.

I'm starting to feel like mn is a different planet. In my books before six is still the middle of the night when the vast majority of people as sleeping not lazing in bed. the park here doesn't even open till half eight.I have never met a single person in my life who gets up at six in the morning willingly.

Don't anyone on this thread move to Canada. Everyone here is at work at 8am, which entails running or the gym at 5.30am. DD used to get up at 5.30am or before and I used to get faces at why this was a problem. I have adjusted. They all knock off at 4.30pm as well.

Sheesh.

Vintage he [chose] to start work at that time so he could have the afternoon in the sun. His boss didn't care as long as the job got done.

I am most amused by the posters who simply wouldn't allow their little darlings to get up before six am.

I have a four year old with suspected ADHD. He's never slept past 4.30am, EVER. Even with medication to help him sleep. I don't 'allow' him to get up at that time... he just does. And because he does, myself and my three other children get up then too. Not because we want to, but because after years of getting up at that time our bodies are attuned to it. 6am would be a lie in.

As for going to the park that early... I probably wouldn't, Might do if it was one of the big parks round here that didn't back onto anywhere particularly. However we did go to the beach at 5.30am a few days ago. We had it all to ourselves and the children were able to run feral and not worry. We took a breakfast picnic and had a ball.

I am up at five every day. That's when my toddler gets up.
Some of the week I'm then off to work, leaving beck 7am.
Obviously my kids, at 3 and 1 are not out on their own.

But the timing doesn't make a diffence as to where're they're unsupervised does it? A four year old shouldn't be in the park at 5 am or 5pm unsupervised.

opies
The beach before 6am is a thing of beauty.

Yanbu, that is so early! I wouldn't let mine out before 8.30/9 really. Definitely 9 on the weekend. They are early risers but we have managed to get to a point where they will stay in bed till the gro clock wakes up at 6.40. We just stay indoors till an appropriate time.

Fwiw dh leaves for work at 7.15 so he gets up at 6.45. But obviously he is doing this quietly and isn't bouncing on he trampoline shrieking. My neighbour leaves at 5.30 and is not feckin quiet about it.

I've had early risers. Still do.

But me (and everyone else in our house ) having to get up at the crack of dawn does not mean it is ok to go out and be noisy at a socially unacceptable time.

I've spent long mornings watching the clock tick by second by second until it is a reasonable time to go outside (which I gauge by what time my neighbours are generally up and about). It isn't fun. But that doesn't entitle me to wake everyone else on the street up.

They start cutting the grass on the golf course here at 6am. I suppose golfers start playing after that so it needs to be done then. It's never bothered me and we've been here 15 years. I'm often on my second cup of tea by then anyway.

Our neighbours are very considerate and check if anyone was on night shift before mowing the lawn as do we. Someone did take their wheely bin in at 4am the other morning though!

I wouldn't let mine play out at 6am and I do think that's a bit early. I think 8am is fair play.

OpiesOldLady Ds1 (18) has ADHD and was the same until he was about 10 and after that we couldn't get him out of bed in the morning. Now he would lie in bed untill lunchtime if he could get away with it. Strangely I notice he is in the shower at the moment -very unusual. I wonder what's going on!

YANBU. Next time it happens is call the non emergency police number and share your concern with young children being out alone without supervision so early hopefully they'll give the mother a good talking to

If its a regular thing, I would invest in some earplugs. If it's a one off, I would let it go.
