To think kids should not be out at 8am

[MozzchopsThirty]

Screaming and shouting in the street, riding fucking scooters past my bedroom window, not even outside their own house!!!!

Would it kill people to amuse their children until 9am
I don't have my dcs this weekend, and even if I did they wouldn't be out in the street at 8am

AIBU to want a lie in until 9am, I get up for work every bloody day!!

Or am I turning into grumpy old woman?

Tbh, I think that 8am is fine, but only just. Saying that, I don't allow our DC to shout and scream when they're out in the garden at any time and they don't play out on the road as it's too busy.

Unfortunately, I think it's just one of those things you have to get used to if you live in an area with lots of families.

YANBU - I make sure mine stay quite until at least 9, usually later if I can as our neighbours don't have kids and work long hours so appreciate the chance to have a lie-in at the weekends, as did I when I was in their shoes.

I also discourage shouting at any time of the day when it might annoy others and screaming is for emergencies only!

I think the only reply to "Suck it up buttercup", is "Far out brussel sprout"

All very David Brent

totally disrespectful to have kids out in the street disturbing others before 9am - if you can't entertain your kids in your own home before 9am don't chuck them outside to wake everyone else up - does my head in such bad parenting and such a bad example in respecting how other people like to live in quiet surroundings without yelling and screaming

You are not a grumpy old woman - why don't you start scooting up and down outside the window of the house the kids live in shrieking and shouting at say 9pm at night when they are in bed and mummy and daddy want some peace and see how quickly you can get them to wake up. Bet mummy and daddy will have something to say about that while they think it's perfectly reasonable to wake you up at the weekend

No, Cutted. Been doing it for three years.

Or just go for the fan then if you are worried.

I just put an IKEA fleece over the fan part (not a tower one).

I love the expression "suck it up buttercup" and use it fairly often. Usually when someone's being precious.

OP overall I think yanbu - I wouldn't let my kids wake up the neighbours before 9...but by the same token, I'm quite an early riser so it wouldn't bother me to hear kids outside at 8.

Yanbu I don't let mine out till after 9am.

YANBU, thankfully our neighbours are far more considerate.

I would imagine it's easier for their parents to turf them out and let them annoy others than spend time amusing them until later in the day.

I wouldn't let mine out till 9.30. And if there were still bedroom curtains shut I'd be asking them not to scream and shout.

yabu. They could have been awake and driving their parents up the wall in the house for 2 hours. I can't imagine what would happen if I forced mine to stay inside on a nice morning, it wouldn't end well .
and yes, we suck it up if other kids are still out late and making noise.

I'm with you OP, 8am is too early to be out making noise. Not just kids, but lawn mowers or whatnot. 9am is much more neighbourly I reckon!

They should be outside their own house not yours. I bet their own parents have turfed them out to get some peace and quiet.

My cockerel and windchimes wake every fucker up,way more than my dc's.

Yanbu I don't let dd in the garden before 9am on a Saturday or before 10am on a Sunday. She's got all day to play outside and a little bit of consideration for others goes a long way.

YANBU I don't let mine wake me up before 8 am never mind other people - My youngest goes out to play at 10 am at the earliest - I'm with you

YANBU at all.
9am on a Saturday, 10am on a Sunday.

Excessive noise before that is out of order! I'd be having a word and at the very least asking parents to keep them closer to their own house.

selfish and inconsiderate

Loving 'suck it up, buttercup' and am going to look for opportunities to use it!

We once had a neighbour send their child round to complain that my DH was mowing the lawn loudly and it was giving her a headache. This was at 8pm on a summer evening. I've been a bit about noise complaints ever since.

I don't think 8am is early

It is also the best part of the day on a lovely Spring morning. The children are doing you a favour getting you up to enjoy a beautiful day.

Go to bed earlier if you can't get up at 8am, which is pretty much a lie in as far as I am concerned.

So it seems 8am is too early for kids to play out but somehow it's ok for developers to build houses at 7am 7 days a week 50 meters from my back door. I have 3 years of that to look forward to. Perfectly legal too apparently. I'd count myself lucky in your shoes OP.

Do we live in the same street op?

We had this today. It doesn't usually bother me that much but dh was in bed after night shift and the kids next door were standing outside our bedroom window screaming and shouting (bungalow so closer than being up flight of stairs) Then they ring the doorbell starting the dog off on a barking frenzy. This was at 7.45!

I was woken up at 7.25am by some knob jockey sawing wood ... I lay fuming, cursing our inconsiderate neighbours - until I realised it was DH!!!

so a poster is unreasonable to suggest the op goes to bed earlier if she wants extra sleep because she can go when she likes but kids cannot play outside before 9am - does the phrase double standards mean anything to some of you?

the kids have the right to play outside any time they like just as people have the right to mow their lawns and go about their lives.

unfortunately unless you live in the middle of nowhere you are going to have to suck it up op sorry

YANBU.

9am rule here, and my DC get up any time between 5 and 6....
