WIBU to post on village FB asking people to STFU one Sunday a month

[Wwwolves]

Flame me if you will.

I'm currently working FT from home, often into the early hours.

DH is NHS and works days then nights in a rotating schedule.

WIBU to ask on village FB for my road to please keep their kids in until 11am one effing Sunday a month? Maybe the first Sunday a month?

I'd love one actual lie in a month. I know DH working nights can't expect the world to be silent all day when he's on nights, but good lord I'd love one single lie in a month without the sound of trampolines/footballs bashing/toddlers shrieking at 7am.

I know kids need to play outside but really, 7am on a weekend????

7am is too early but 11am is too late. When you have toddlers 11am is basically about 4pm in normal time. Plus just now it's not like they can really go many other places. Get some ear plugs or headphones and chill out.

Try it, good luck...

[kazzer2867]

Hilarious. I'm still awake and needed a laugh. Thanks for that OP. Come back and let us all know how it went. 😂😂

[LizzyAnna99]

I tried to get my street to stop that stupid clap for carers shit on a Thursday because I started work at 10pm and I was sick of being woken up at 8pm with an almighty racket

[Casschops]

You are funny OP

[1Morewineplease]

Are you one of those people who believes that an NHS badge should entitle you something that others don’t have?
If you think that your road is too noisy then move.

[okiedokieme]

Could you have a word with the seagulls too, they wake me up at 5am! I all seriousness, can you sleep in a different room, I find the front better as I can't here the garden

[Raella50]

Ridiculous

[StCharlotte]

You'd love it here. Our near neighbour started angle grinding block paving at 9am this (Sunday) morning. With accompanying drum and fucking bass.

Bangs head against brick wall...

[Ishihtzuknot]

If you know the specific families speak to them about it. I know how hard it is, I have awful selfish neighbours too that wake us constantly throughout the night every day, even early on weekends. There should be a national law about bad neighbours and their noise. If you start a petition count me in.

[JaniceWebster]

Are neighbours louder this year? Genuine question
I'd say yes. People can't get away, they can't go out so they are home and have started to organise all their entertaining at home instead of joining their mates in pubs or other.

Add a fair amount of people who are furlough and making the most of it - why shouldn't they, but it means bbq, gardening and just noise when they would otherwise be working or just not doing much after work.

[trixiebelden77]

I work 50% nights. As the majority of people aren’t coming home from work at 9am, I have to accept their right to make noise. I’m the outlier. I wouldn’t dream of demanding that the majority alter their behaviour because of me.

[Mascotte]

Well, the replies on this thread confirm my new view that people are entitled fuckers who can't moderate their behaviour to be considerate of others.

@Wwwolves it's shite, but seems to be the way of the world.

[Thurmanmurman]

Crack on if you want to look like a dick

[Borisplums]

My NHS neighbours are the loud ones :(

(Seemed relevant in this thread)

[CambsAlways]

You post that and you would be a laughing stock, 7am is early yes, To be shouting about , but expecting quiet until 11 😂😂

[eaglejulesk]

Also. it's hardly your neighbours' fault that you choose to work until the early hours and then want a lie in at the weekend!

[Smallsteps88]

I feel for you OP because you are clearly massively sleep deprived if you think this is in any way a reasonable request.

Ear plugs are your friend. Not sure why you haven’t considered them tbh. Sleep dep again probably.

[DestinationFkd]

OP. Dear neighbours. Can you please ensure that your children are quiet on the first Sunday of each month until 11.00 to enable myself and my NHS worker husband ll have a lay in.
Neighbours 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[eaglejulesk]

If you don't want to be disturbed by the normal sounds of people living their lives then move to a remote place! Talk about entitled.

[Mummy102]

I'd like people to stfu on a sunday, but as in speed the fuck up

[Ginger1982]

Do you have your own kids?

[Ghostlyportrait]

I sympathise 100% but would concentrate on finding out which neighbours are letting their DC out to play at 7 am and politely ask if they could hold off till after 9.
