What is actually reasonable?

So long and short of it is that I live in a terrace house and I have two small children. They are noisy, and up early. There are also SEN issues with at least one.

So about ten minutes ago, they were having a particulary noisy moment downstairs and one of the neighbours thumped on the bedroom wall so hard the wall vibrated.

The neighbours have complained before, I'm not insensible of the noise my household can generate, we have taken steps to reduce noise (we now take the kids downstairs as soon as they wake up, they have sanctions for being too noisy upstairs etc).

But I'm not at a point of how much noise is actually reasonable? It's 7am on a Sunday morning, am I suppose to stop the kids playing downstairs now?

This is really upsetting, I'd just about calmed down from the last complaint.

Thanks to everyone who's been in touch about this thread.

We've removed some posts that we felt broke our Talk Guidelines and we've noticed that many of the deletions were for disablist posts.

Do take a look at our This Is My Child Campaign especially the Myths about parenting children with special needs and consider the challenges many parents of children with disabilities face, day to day.

Mumsnet exists to make parent's lives easier and if there's one thing we could all do with, it's some understanding and moral support.
