Oh f***ing hell, it’s starting again...

[AllesAusLiebe]

By that I mean the curse of lighter evenings and the feral kids three (yes, THREE) doors away screaming on the fucking trampoline.

I can hear it in my living room, they’re so damn loud. If it’s still going on when I’m trying to put DS to bed, I won’t be responsible for my actions.

Anyone else suffering with this absolute menace already?

Last year this continued all damn summer, often until after 9:30pm. Trying to reason with them and asking politely that they tried to reduce the screaming achieved nothing. I have no problem with kids playing and enjoying the outdoors - that’s a good thing. It’s the fucking incessant screaming.

Yell at them to “stop fucking screaming”. If that fails buy an air horn.

Children enjoying themselves playing outside is a truly awful thing.

Speakers in your garden. Some lovely throw back tunes?

My neighbour has the loudest, most drawling, droning cockney accent (no offence) and in the warmer weather he talks at top volume for hours on his phone

Very annoying

Guarantee this will be your DS in a few years lol!

They are not feral they are enjoying the lighter evenings after being stuck in throughout the summer. This will be your child
One day outside enjoying themselves. I feel sorry for kids they can’t win. Stay in on computer
Games they get the “these
Kids should be out playing!” They go out playing and they get the “feral kids comments.”
Bleugh!

Stuck in through winter I mean!

Children enjoying themselves playing outside is a truly awful thing
Always one It's like MN bingo.

Oh god forbid, children playing! And outside. The horror. Where will it end?

Mumsnet hates kids playing out

Ha! Are you on my road OP?

Is it a road starting with M in a village starting with L?

If so we were just bitching about them too.

I have that problem and there right next door kid's on the trampoline screaming all day long at the weekend's, if course kids should be enjoying themselves, but do they have to scream all day plus play blaring music, it wears you down after a while.

I prefer next doors kids to be in the garden, we’ve had months of the little cherubs playing football in their living room, complete with ball being kicked against the (shared) wall jumping up & down and screaming for hours at a time

But if they are on the trampoline why shouldn't they enjoy themselves? It's not like you said they are playing cricket next to your car is it. Next door to us there is a trampoline and sometimes the little girl has lots of friends round - lots of screams/squeals/laughts and a few cries - but it's good they are outside playing. As long as it's not like 10:30pm I don't see a problem.

I have zero problem with noisy children playing but OIL YOUR FUCKING TRAMPOLINE!

The squeak, squeak, squeak is going to turn me murderous this year!

Oh no, that's reminded me that I'm about to experience months of:

• the smell of weed drifting around
• listening to the stoners next door

-Mrs Stoner screeching Mr Stoner's name across the neighborhood -Mr Stoner talking and acting like he's a teenager -their stoner daughter talking shit to her friends on the phone not sparing any details about her latest blokes sexual likes and dislikes

Give me kids on a trampoline anyday!

OP has said she has no problem with children playing outside, it's the incessant screaming that's the problem! If an adult was screaming non-stop for hours until 9.30pm it would be deemed unacceptable so why is it mean spirited to complain about children doing the same? I would not allow my DC to behave similarly. It's extremely annoying.

This will be your child one day and varients thereof.

Are all of you genuinely incapable of teaching your kids to be considerate of others? My DS is 7, so probably peak screaming age, and he's pretty shouting indoors, but when he's outside he knows he needs to be aware of the neighbours. If he were to forget, I'm pretty sure all I'd need to do is mention it quietly and he'd tone it down.

You aren't doing little Tarquin and Jacinda any favours by letting them think that screaming constantly is part of normal play.

I have no issue with children having fun outside. My issue is the gaggle of kids in my street who are papped out of their houses at dawn and left to scream like banshees until after 11pm on weeknights. And if anyone dares say anything one of their parents will appear and screech in their face about who the fuck they are asking the children to get out of their garden/stop breaking their stuff/stop screaming while people are trying to sleep for work in the morning.

Tbh I live in a small semi, next to us are a couple with grandchildren who are always out running about screaming etc. And I don't really feel the noise disturbs me that much. Sure you can hear it but not enough to keep you awake or anything. Sometimes they have all 8 grandchildren round too! Aad even with 8 its never that bad. Not enough to disturb. I'm happy the children are playing and having fun, they are children they are should be outside screaming and laughing. I wish I could be screaming on a trampoline!

Wow. I'm glad I live in the countryside (with my barking dogs and shrieking kids) Only cows for neighbours, they never complain.

*cows of the bovine variety 😉

Ah, you never know your luck - after last year’s heatwave it’ll prob be hail & rain for the next six months solid....always look on the bright side eh😉

I'd go out at night with a pair of wire cutters! I too hate that incessant bounce, bounce, bounce accompanied by screams and shrieks. Why can't children play quietly?

My neighbour keeps his bedroom window open 24/7 in summer, and rarely leaves his bedroom. All you can hear is lager cans being cracked open with Robbie Williams warbling in the background and him slapping his bare skin. Sometimes he screams "It's the final countdown, dadadada, dadadadadaaaa!!" out of his window if he's really on one. The slapping sound isn't nice if I'm eating outside, but even worse when he started masturbating so loudly (groaning) it echoed around the garden.

I wish I could live far away from people!
