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.

A former neighbour sited a mini-trampoline in the front garden, due to growing vegetables in the back garden.

The kiddies invited all and sundry for miles (it seemed) to play on it with them as noisily as possible.

Strangely, it vanished one weekend - this may well have been connected with the fact that neighbour had his Mondeo parked on the drive alongside the trampoline and one fine afternoon someone bounced off the trampoline and onto the bonnet of the car, thereby making a noticeable ugly dent in the bonnet.........oops!

Peace on earth reigned once more.

Buy some ear plugs!

Sorry to derail, but we're trying to decide what size trampoline to buy. We want it as small as possible really so as to minimise how much it takes over the garden but it needs to be big enough to actually be fun to use. Trampoline user is currently 3 but we don't intend to buy another so it'll need to see her through her trampoline years. Her brother is 1 so will want to get in on the action in a couple of years. We were thinking 10ft but could we get away with 8ft?

ANYTHING is better than the eternal darkness, greyness and coldness of winter.

We just spent £5k moving away from, two horrific kids. If they weren't smashing the walls with pans they were sharpening their teeth on the fence. My son is exactly the same age as the eldest (5), he was horrified by them. It is called parenting your child. Teach them respect and consideration. They behave like animals because no one cares enough about them to show them the right way to behave.

Sounds like our neighbours ! I have no issues with them playing outside but along with squeak squeak, squeak squeak every time they bounce and screaming like they are being murdered. We get really horrendous language. Now I can have a potty mouth sometimes but these are primary school kids ! We get mother, suck my ck you f* ahole, f off mother*** you get the idea. The parents are there too and we can only assume are erm otherwise engaged we'll say because they never come out (no pun intended) the kids just seem to know when to go back in. When it's hot we get music added to that too, and both go on for hours and till very late. In the summer they go in and the parents and friends go on to enjoy loud music in the noisy arse hot tub

Get the bigger one, Oysterbabe
