I'm happy to clap, but....

[lamppost1]

I have a 7 month old baby and although I think clapping for the NHS/key workers is fantastic, people banging saucepans/beeping horns etc is going too far? Surely this will wake small children/babies (and in a potentially startling way!) it also could wake up people who are unwell/elderly.

I raise this as there is a local Facebook group to where I live where people are saying they'll be there with saucepans etc!

So in summary, claps, light cheers - great! Banging/yelling/beeping - please no!

I think there have already been eleventy billion threads about this OP, if you want to do an advanced search.

Oh sorry 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
Feel free to ignore everyone. I'll go search 👍🏻

Yabu, it's once a week your baby can cope!

I have a child who rarely sleeps of course the only time he EVER goes to sleep around 8PM is thursday the clapping fine the saucepans fireworks beeping horns not so much

@RedHelenB
Mental health is an extremely important part of this pandemic. An overtired baby, can result in multiple wakings during the night, resulting in extreme loss of sleep for parents, which on top of all the other stresses, can take them to breaking point.

But maybe I am bu. I probably wouldn't have thought about it being an issue pre baby 🤷🏼‍♀️

YANBU but then I would say that

It's fucks me off too. Can they not do it at 6?

I've had 3 babies, two of which were rubbish sleepers Noise happens.
