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

Sorry op I think your being a bit ott it's not so hot often most likey everyone wanted to see the house.

I think if it happens again then complain but I think everyone's allowed a party now and then and unless there chavs if they have children it's unlikely to happen often

What TheFisheWife said.

I don't think hosting a party at 11pm ONCE on the only nice summers night we've had in about 5 years is unreasonable.

The whole world cannot be brought to a standstill just because you have a medical condition.

Had they been playing Guns N Roses on full blast I would be more sympathetic. But children playing on a trampoline and people putting cans into a bin.....doesn't sound too bad really

Yep I'm firmly on the side of live and let live.

Actually I am genuinely pleased for neighbours when I hear them having big celebrations like birthdays or family get togethers!

Trampoline noise/music til 11pm on a Saturday night is really not unreasonable.

In lovely weather like this, how miserable to complain when people are making the most of it.

If they start doing it every other weekend, then's the time for a friendly word and maybe work out ground rules between you.

11pm is fine IMO
It was Saturday after all
At least they weren't slinging the bottles into your garden

Tryharder I don't expect the world to come to a standstill because of me

What I do expect is that people show a little consideration

Sitting in a circle and throwing glass bottles into a bin in the centre of the circle plus allowing children to scream, encouraging them onto the trampoline in the rain to scream some more -is not considerate, not just to me but the other neighbours and the adjoining neighbours at the back

Did it go on much pat 11pm? I think generally noise (party, building, kids playing) is acceptable between 7am and 10pm on a week day and 9am and Midnight on a Fri/Sat.

If it was frequent, or went on later I would ask them to let you know if they were planninga party again.

No it's not considerate but (hopefully) a one off. I think it would be pretty unreasonable/miserable/inconsiderate of anyone to dampen a party by complaining - 11pm is not late for a Saturday night, it only seems it to you because you have young kids so that is expecting people to revolve around you and your life.

I sympathise, the kids somewhere near me have a trampoline and are on it until 11pm.

The family next door like loud music, it can be nice when they put reggae on but yesterday they had the base up and the way my house is built the main rooms are at the back, so I was watching TV with subtitles.

This is it now until September I suspect.

Sitting and chatting, YABU.

Jumping on a squeaky trampoline and screaming, YANBU.

It actually went on until 1, the children went in about 12 and after that it was mainly chatting which I have no problem with

I didn't complain in real life, I'm not that much of a killjoy but I'm allowed a moan on mumsnet, that's what it's for isnt it?

I don't have young children, I've already said that, I've got preteens and teens but I've always given them time boundaries for noise as I was given time boundaries for noise by my parents

On a hot Saturday night aren't they allowed to jump on a trampoline and have a few drinks?

I don't think midnight or even 1am is worthy of a complaint to be honest... My 3 year old was out at a BBQ with us till 11.30 last night (and was probably a bit loud!)... But that's fine because its a one off.

Live and let live OP

(And fgs don't get up and mow to get even!)

I feel your pain, mn is the perfect place to complain when you can't/wouldn't complain irl (even if some posters don't realise that )

I'm in the antisocial group so rarely have people over late but I guess once in a while is ok. We have students moving in next door soon so watch out, I'm sure I'll be posting lots once they arrive! I doubt I'll complain to them though, life is for living, especially at uni age so I'll limit myself to mn to vent (and probably get told I'm an old meany )
