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?

Not out before 8 am? Tell that to the childminder who lives right opposite my bedroom window!!! The kids start arriving at 7 am and are, in the Summer, put into her front garden (right under my bedroom window) to fend for themselves for the next hour or so.

We're not supposed to run businesses from our houses - but she gets away with it because childminders are 'needed'

8am is pretty late round here. People start mowing their lawn or running snowblowers about 7am at the weekend.

You can download white noise apps for phones. Also other relaxing sounds such as woodland birds, seaside and relaxing spa music.

'Kids playing out too early' threads.

It's spring on MN bbq threads are on their way, which means it's summer

8am is too early in my book too! Mine are not allowed to go out until 9, not even in the garden let alone running up and down the street.

I love a bbq though so never going to complain about that

I know but someone will. Proper brightens up the spirits that more daylight and hopefully heat is coming

I'd let my kids play in our back garden at 8 but not on the street.
But I don't think I'd be annoyed if other kids were playing out early.
I work shifts though so I'm used to being woken up by people who assume that everybody is awake because they are.
"Well I know she's in because her car is there...she mustn't of heard me so I'll just bang louder and ring the door bell 10 times"

Ds is awake at 4.30 if he sleeps through so can be in the garden or we are down the playground by 8.30. If he screams in the garden he is brought in.

I don't have an issue with sleeping, I sleep really well.
I also don't need other people's children waking me up so I know what a beautiful day it is
If they'd been in their garden I wouldn't have heard them

Just another hour would've been lovely

YABabitU (sorry) but I do understand why its annoying. My two are early risers and I allow them in the garden at 8am on weekdays (with strict no screaming/shouting instructions). 9am at the weekends with the same instructions.

I'm glad my neighbours are understanding. You can't win with some people though. You'd probably be moaning just as much if they were next door to you screaming indoors OP. You need decent earplugs I'm afraid.

It's all about respect for others isn't it. There are no laws about it but it's surely an unwritten law in nice people's books that many people are still trying to sleep at that time and will keep the kids indoors till at least 9 am.Lots of people with young kids these days think it's all about them and to hell with everyone else. Selfish and thoughtless imo.

I wouldn't let mine out that early. They have all day to play out and I want a lie in and a bit of peace.

8am isn't early!

Kids have the right to whoop and shriek in the street at 8am and people have the right to mow their lawns at 7am. Doesn't mean it isn't inconsiderate behaviour.

yabu, 8am is too early. Even if the parents have been up with them since 5am does not give them the right to wake neighbours.

If my neighbours thought it fine to put their kids in the street at 8am then I'd think it fine to play loud music until 2am. Thank god they don't and I don't. YANBU.

So bloody what if the parents have been up since 5am, they decided to have kids. They signed up for early starts. Not everyone in the street did.

definitely too early, I'd say 10am on a weekend (I have 3DC and don't let them out before then) have some respect peeps!

yanbu 8am is too early.

Noise hours are 7am -11pm, I'd rather hear children than loud music. Ms of them don't get out enough as it is. Should be in their own gardens, though...

10am?! That's most of the morning gone!

8am is too early. I used to keep my children in until 9 on a Saturday and 9.30 on a Sunday. If they were desparate to go out and play before then we visited the local park. We did have neighbours who let their kids out at 7.30 every weekend. They stopped that when I started playing with our dogs in the garden at 9.30 EVERY night. It only took one complaint of them barking to mention their children's screaming and jumping on a fucking trampoline at 7.30am at the weekend. I'm so glad we have no neighbours now.

I'd say the main reason kids are out playing at 8am is to get them out from under the parents feet. Too many parents put their kids rights above other people's these days.
