To dislike children playing on the streets

[massiemal]

It is rather dangerous, noisy and vulgar. AIBU to dislike it?

Kids playing at the park instead of in the street dont have parental supervision either so why is it that they are 'unkind' in one place but not the other?

Older teens will inevitably get into trouble on the street I think - what tripe, we hung around on our street corner all the time and not one of us was ever in trouble in later years.

I played out on the street, my kids play out in the garden, in the street and rake about from here to the park, to the fields, the shop with friends and they have managed to avoid become snarling, slavering animals.

I'll be unpopular but the kids on my street are out from 9am to after 10pm at weekends and in the holidays and it drives me up the fucking wall. They all shriek like banshees ALL THE TIME. There's no break from it. I have no issue with kids playing and having fun but there's no need to scream like you're on fire. No parent ever sticks their head out to rein it in a bit either - in fact, the parents all stand under my living room window shrieking with laughter until the sun goes down. If it's not enough during the day, they sometimes get drunk and fight each other in the middle of the road at 2am. Or drunk guests turn up in the middle of the night and hammer on the main flat door for an hour until the police are called to take them home.

I can't wait until we can afford a mortgage.

But that's badly behaved children/inept parenting that is the issue. If dd was shrieking then she'd have to come in.
Saying it isn't safe for any children to play out isn't true. Up until what age should they be supervised at all times?

Amusedbush, what makes you think that children in privately owned properties are any better? What a ridiculous statement
