Neighbour cutting grass at 8.30pm!

[Shootingstar1115]

Would you be annoyed?

I’m not usually one to moan but it happens quite often.

He doesn’t actually cut it himself, he gets a gardener in to do it. Cutting and strimming. But it’s always between 8 - 9.30pm at night. It’s quite a large garden and it takes a while. Does that seem too late?

It’s a neighbourhood where there’s lots of kids. It’s hot so people have their windows open. There’s kids either side of him. Somebody with a young baby behind him.

Struggling to get DS off to sleep tonight. He’s super sensitive to noise.

My neighbour gets home from work around 3/4pm so why does he get it done so late??

I’m not sure if I’m being unreasonable or not? We try and be respectful towards him noise wise. OH won’t go out and cut the grass on his days off until at least 10am just in case anyone is lying in.

neighbour with 3 DC (youngest almost 3) starts mowing the lawn at 9am onwards on a weekend and that pisses me off slightly...

The people moaning about it are clearly people who don't work. People who DO would be much more understanding of how hard it is to get jobs around the house and garden done, when you have very little free time!!

exactly the opposite.

People who do work appreciate how easy it is to make efforts for their neighbours and want peace and quiet the very little time they actually spend at home.

I am grateful that my neighbours are considerate and we can all relax when we finally make it home. Everybody has a life and everybody is happy.

My son sleeps through me mowing the lawn and I can hoover around him ... all kids are different ... but if your child is extra Sensitive I think you need to explain to your neighbour ... and ask if there is the chance of his gardener coming earlier ... because of this ... it would be unfair for you to be annoyed at your neighbour and they had no idea about it or had the opportunity to change the gardeners schedule.

Saying that my husband won’t let me switch on the hoover before 9am encase it disturbs the neighbours ( we are semi detached )... so mowing the lawn and hoovering has to be fitted in during day when my 7 month old has his naps x

Just ask him OP. Explain about your son's autism. If someone told me I was upsetting some poor kid I'd fix it if I could. Most people really are decent.

It's just selfish, do it a bit earlier.
