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.

Oh god I've been tempted to write exactly the same thing. Our next door neighbours. Their own kids are relatively quiet but the family love their get togethers and often have ten kids all screaming on the trampoline for hours. Even a few weekends ago when it was goddam raining they were there. Parents smile indulgently.
Then the bloke has his friends round and they light a fire and sit round it till late.
THEN they stand outside on the shared drive saying goodbye extensively and noisily, revving their cars and slamming doors at midnight.
Hate the lot of them.

I’m so glad that I have lovely neighbours both sides of us. My boy has autism & adhd and up until recently was non verbal so made all sorts of screeching sounds both in & out of the house. They totally understood that it wasn’t his fault & was down to his disability & have never complained once. I literally never want to move because god knows what neighbours I could get that complain & kick off about noises my son makes

Thismama1...that's a totally different. I'm sure anybody would be more than understanding in your situation. I think people are referring to children who scream for no reason.

Oh to live in the middle of nowhere.

A couple of summers ago, a woman a couple of doors down decided to leave her 5 y old out in the garden with a fucking whistle.
A. FUCKING. WHISTLE 😡

Blimey, where are all these children actually bouncing on their trampolines? In the town where I live you see trampolines going rusty in gardens but never children playing on them. I thought they just grew wild around here.

I have an annoying neighbour but I'm moving soon and cannot wait to escape his 'metal sculpture' that's growing in the shared garden.

I legit have those monsters next to me too lol. I hate them all. My LO is 9 months 😵

Some kids on my old street used to have screaming competitions with each other. See who could scream the loudest and longest. Their parents didn't Understand why it was an issue it went on most evenings for around 6 weeks!

Noise from your neighbours is annoying but children playing together do get noisy even with the best of intentions. I have next doors kids playing with my daughter tonight and I have had to calm them down so many times this evening because they've become over excited. None of them are being deliberately loud they just get carried away. If you were hearing them you'd think I wasn't even trying to keep a lid on it but I really am.

Your DC will do the same when they are older and if you're still there you can get your own back because their DC will probably be older and mooching around their bedrooms by then.

Actually I've read the thread properly and the screaming would be bloody annoying, that's different from playing noise.

The new neighbour's teenage son has a full size drum kit in their summer house.

We discovered this during the warm spell we had recently. The cat is still traumatised.

I often have the screaming on trampoline mob to out up with too. A single child on a trampoline very rarely screams, it the couldn't care less adults who allow two or more at a time that accommodate the screaming. I would absolutely love there to be more cases like the one on south coast 3/4 years ago when parents sued when daughter sustained injuries due to daughter's friend's parents allowing her on trampoline without permission. Unfortunately the sued family settled out of court. Barrister commented only a matter of time before people who ignore safety recommendations will be paying large sums when injuries sustained. Roll on I say. Not only the noise but the distraction of heads popping up over fence, feel like getting a ladder and staring over fence into next doors kitchen. Trampolines are the too busy on my phone, to a actually notice how much a nuisance kids on trampolines are.

I'm dreading the constant screaming too.

On the other hand.

We had a horrible nosey neighbor (old man) who would not stay on his property. He once even put a sharp cat food top in a leaf pile in our yard and also urinated in it.
Our dc were playing in it the day before.
So...

Our ds practised his musical instrument scales outside. Pointed in his direction.

I hope I don’t end up with neighbours similar to everyone here complaining about noise from children! It’s what they do, they’re having fun relax a bit. Or maybe try talking to the parents and ask them to try and keep the noise down 🤷🏻‍♀️

Why can't children play quietly?

Christ. Because they are children.

And I very much doubt that they keep shouting for hours on end.

My NDN's kids are the same age as ours (5 and 3) and are up until 10pm during summer, screaming and banging about outside. It baffles me how they are still going at that time. Mine are asleep on their feet if they're up at later than 7pm!

All year long children in my area squeal like piglets with their tails stuck in a grinder. It is really annoying and i personally don’t get the need for SO MUCH noise. Yes have fun, but screaming competitions-?? If they act like this indoors its no wonder the parents shove them outside. Dreading summer already!

@adulthumanwolf
I think we may live in the same street

Every weekend our neighbours decide to do diy, so if he's not banging, he's drilling and in Summer his radio is so loud with Magic FM

I think some pps don't get the difference between normal play noise/shouting, and that really high-pitched screaming, which very tiny ones learn to do at some stage, and which should be grown out of, or else put a stop to, by the time they're old enough to be bouncing on trampolines.

I may be an unconventional parent but I brought up my 2 DC to play without screaming. If they screamed I would go out and tell them to have fun without screaming or come indoors. They didn’t scream

@CaptainButtock

My Dsis let her toddler have a whistle to play with the day I was moving house and also had a chest infection. I asked nicely if Dsis could take the whistle and said said to LO in a very causal way ‘oh don’t blow that whistle’ so I gave Dniece some crisps and lost the whistle in the bin
