To think 8:45 isn’t time for.....

[Babblepook]

Ostentatious family garden time?

My next door neighbours seem to think it is. Every night they bring their toddler out about this time and then loudly whoop and shout joyous declarations at such things such as him kicking a ball or them all dancing in a circle clapping their hands.

It’s really annoying

@Imustbemad00
9.30 on a weekend
Are you on glue.
Why don’t you MOVE TO THE SAHARA DESERT
God people

There’s some right joy suckers out there.

biggarbagetruck don’t be so sensitive, the OP isn’t talking about you is she?

9:30am on the weekend, you think that’s too late?? Really??
God I’m glad I don’t live near people who think it’s reasonable to make shit loads of noise in the garden before 9:30 on a Sunday morning.

My dh has a 3am start he needs his sleep not people whooping round there garden

@NoSauce no but the op and a couple of other posters including you seem to assume that everyone who speaks loudly to their child is performance parenting, which isn't always the case.

And fuck off with the sensitive comment. He's my toddler, of course it's a sensitive issue!

Wow aren’t you the charmer.

Lots of people work nights. It doesn’t mean everyone else has to shut the fuck up.

I bet the OP would rather hear the kids playing than the big gob parents.

Just wait till they buy him a goddamn fucking trampoline....
Yep, I 'm with you OP. Grumpy perhaps but it is possible to live a happy enough life without making a load of bloody noise. Too many people just don't give a shit. We've had new neighbours both sides recently whose toddlers are up and making a row in the garden way after my teenagers have gone to bed. Thank goodness it wasn't like this when mine were little and terrible sleepers. I hate the bloody summer - I want everyone to fuck off inside and close the doors. There, I've said it.

I mean you could fuck off too,
I wouldn’t live next door to people if I hated ALL noise at normal hours.
If I was a grumpy old woman and hated to sound of people.

Nice bit of ageist shit right there.
The OP doesn’t say how old she is but she does say that she can’t open her daughters window because of the noise so I guess she can’t be that old, eh.

Unless it's summer hols or the weekend, then I agree with you.

I wouldn't complain, or have a go at anyone, if people were being a bit ostentatious in their garden next door to me at nearly 9pm, but I wouldn't be over the moon with it either. Most people are winding down and getting ready for supper at that time. Especially if they have work the next day. Some people are (SHOCKER!) even going to bed shortly after that time if they have a very early start, and many children are in bed by then on a school night.

Hijinks and squeals in next door's garden at that time, (which is past the bedtime of many young children) is not what most people want to hear. It never happens in my quiet area that I live in now as it's full of over 50s, and middle aged couples, with only 3 families with children out of 23 house and bungalows.

Where I used to live, had 50-odd 3-bed houses in one crescent, and there were multiple dozens of kids, and some of them often played out til 10pm, even on a school night, even 10.30pm! Me and DH had to be up for work at 7am, and sometimes went to be at 10pm, and we were not impressed!

Kids yelling, music playing, dogs barking, adults jeering and cheering and pissing about after dark (at least 3 or 4 times a week some weeks,) was/is taking the piss, and very inconsiderate of others.

So YANBU @Babblepook

I just don’t understand why one chooses to live in a built up area if you hate noise.
I mean hating people who party until the wee hours is something else.
Hating people in their garden at 8.45 is just mad. Impo

And I presume anyone who has teenagers is old. As opposed to young. But that’s a moot point.

If you just open the window, you'd all get used to the noise and it wouldn't affect sleeping any more than a stuffy room.

Gotta laugh at how defensive some people are, calling people who prefer peace and quiet 'joy suckers' and 'miserable old people' etc.

So, your right to be noisy and attention-seeking, and let your kids scream and holler at 9pm, trumps everyone else's right to quiet enjoyment in their own home eh?

These are the type of people the OP is on about. The entitled brigade who think it's OK to let the kids squeal into the night, when people just want peace and quiet after a day at work, and for their own kids to be able to sleep!

Children should be encouraged to make lots of noise, It is good for self esteem and mental health.

Of course, just not when next doors dc is in bed trying to sleep.

@Justbreathing

I just don’t understand why one chooses to live in a built up area if you hate noise.

So should all us people who like peace and quiet after 9pm, move into the middle of a bloody field then, so you and your family can scream and holler and play loud music in the garden til midnight ??? Jesus ...Entitled much?!

Get a grip. And have thought for other people. Glad you're not MY neighbour. We moved out of our last area because of people like you.

I assume anyone who has teenagers is old.

LOL, you sound about 16!

Trying to justify your noisy family?

What’s the relevance here?

@crazyasafox

I don’t annoy anyone 😂

@NoSauce
I said someone was old and grumpy 🤷‍♂️

How have we moved from 8.45 to after 9pm or 11pm?

It's great time for little ones to be burning off some energy before bed.

They sound happy. You should go and find your own happiness.

Maybe have a quiet word if it’s disturbing your son. I’m sure with a child themselves they might make a bit of an effort to be quieter.
