AIBU to think if you are having a family BBQ, you shouldn't still have children screaming on the trampoline at 11pm

[17leftfeet]

Next door moved in 2 weeks ago and have family round tonight

They have a big plastic bin that they are throwing their empty beer bottles in and children ranging from 4-13 are still on the trampoline, screeching!

I hope this isn't a sign of things to come

I hope it's a one off for you :( nothing worse than those first few weeks wishing and hoping they will be quiet neighbours and then the hints that they might not be!

Do you live next door but one to me op?

The ones I'm listening to are also very sweary.

YANBU

This is England How likely is it that we get weather this good all that often? (and I have just realised I have assumed you are here )
Perhaps it's their housewarming party?
Do you have DCs, and are they disturbed by the noise?
Just get up early and start having some nice noisy play in the garden or the rooms that adjoin next door if you want to let them "have a taste of their own medicine" so to speak...
Or, go round and ask if you can join the party, and bid them welcome, or just let it go. Is it worth possibly starting years of bad feeling?

No idea cat thief -do you have a very yowly tabby cat that visits?

11pm?

Couldn't you join them? Send your dc over?

Pom bear my children are older so don't do noisy play -I suppose I could cut my grass nice and early though

I feel your pain OP! We've had what appears to be an 18th or 21st party going on for hours now consisting of renditions of pop hits from the last 20 years and incessant chanting.

YANBU - but, if it's a one off, we've all been a bit rowdy/inconsiderate/drunk/all of the above at some stages in our lives. If they are hosting, I know I always feel guilty ushering people out of the house - the kids could go inside though, and stop disturbing everyone else!

What with the weather and the house warming potential, I'd chalk it off as an annoyance but not take it further unless it's a repeat offence - I live next a 60 year old bachelor who gives us very little bother, so we're pretty lucky. We do live on a main road though, so hear all sorts at 2am in the morning!

Join the club. The people at the end of our garden have had noisy outdoor parties for the last two weekends. I have very small children. Poor DS1 has had to go to sleep in a 28 degree bedroom with the windows shut.

No tabby sadly.

I can't join in, dd is in bed asleep finally and she's too little to be left alone.

Have you considered buying earplugs?

Once in a blue moon why not, warm evenings are a luxury in this country.

Boing, boing splash was annoying at 11pm, but the teens next door only had their mates round jumping off the trampoline into an easy set pool a couple of times in the entire summer.

Likewise DHs work colleges only came once a year for a BBQ that went on late.

My God! 11pm on a Saturday. The absolute bastards.

If it is once in a blue moon I have no problem but I have a sinking feeling its not going to be a one off

This has been a very quiet street since I moved here 10 years ago with mainly 50+ couples

I was the only house with DCs but we are pretty anti social and guests tend to be a daytime occurrence

It might be a Saturday but that doesn't exclude all common courtesy. I had neighbours booting a football and trampolining at half 11 last night
People do work on a weekend, I had to be up at 5.45am to do a demanding job where if I screw up I could kill someone. Lack of sleep definitely doesn't help

We had this the other night, they had their speakers/stereo outside and they were making a hell of a racket.

As it neared 1am I was ready to rip their throats out and it started pissing it down cue screams of my stereo....get it inside of fuckkkkkk.

Yes I was chuckling to myself...

Meloria I know 11 pm on a weekend might not sound that late but I have a medical condition which causes severe fatigue so disturbed nights sleep can put me out of action for several days

I feel your pain. Some people do work on a Sunday, I often start at 7am on a Sunday. Saturday night garden parties are the worst.

I agree with the common courtesy thing, just because nice nights are a rarity doesn't excuse the fact the majority around you would appreciate a bit of peace at night time. The ones who say YABU are the noisy ones everyone else hates IMO!

Hopefully it's a one off. To be honest on the odd occasions we have a party we always invite the neighbours or at least let them know we're having one to pre-warn them

I was once told by my neighbour to shut my dgc up when they were playing in the garden as her little darlings were trying to sleep. It was 8pm on a saturday and my family only visit once a year.

This year my whole family will be here and I expect a lot of noise. I put up with her noise all year so its pay back time, sorry your highness .

I do feel sorry, OP; there is nothing worse than having a once peaceful neighbourhood disrupted by ill mannered yobs; children shouting on a trampoline and adults throwing bottles into a bin at 11pm constitutes yobbish behaviour.

Leave this one and hope it is a one-off, but if it happens again complain immediately; we are far too tolerant of other people's inconsiderate behaviour, which gives certain sections of society the impression that they may behave as they wish and no-one has the right to object.

"This is England " I thought this was a UK site pombear? It may be England where you are- but not for lots of us.

I think you can see the problem from this thread! Some people see making a noise outdoors at 11pm on a Saturday as reasonable and you don't change them.
