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????

the world or even the village does not revolve around you YABVU

We had a holiday rental once that was a big house oddly carved out into three. We had a hammering on the door one morning at 10.30 am from a young woman that we hadn’t realised was staying half underneath us.She said she has been woken by our child ( tiny 2 year old) thundering about and we should make sure she stayed in bed until 10am so that the renter could have a proper holiday lie in.

I had been about to apologise, because I knew sound could travel and amplify but the thought of keeping a 2 year old in bed on a summer morning to suit this woman just made me burst out laughing .

Now that 2 year old is grown and I have a bit more sympathy for her - hope also that she went on to have children and realised what she had been asking !

My other half works a constant rotation of shifts and it’s almost never convenient to make noise outside our house in normal hours. We live near people so we live with it - what if your “agreed” lie in clashes with our shifts? Who mediates? We bought good ear plugs and sucked it up.

No you can't...

It's a horrible shame you are surrounded by inconsiderate idiots but there's nothing you can do unfortunately.

I think people shouldn't have to be asked to be quiet until 9:30-10am and after 7pm, it should come naturally. EVERYBODY would benefit. People could enjoy their own garden and relax, parents who like to put their kids to bed very early could do so, people who want or need an early night could have it.

Same in the morning. Others could enjoy either a lay-in or a peaceful garden first thing.

Put it another way: people who are considerate already are so. The ones who think it's acceptable to have screaming kids won't change.

Silicone earplugs are the answer.

Wicked. Please do...and let us all know how it goes. 😆

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.

Do you have your own kids?

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

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.

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 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

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.

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!

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

Are neighbours louder this year? Genuine question

My NHS neighbours are the loud ones :(

(Seemed relevant in this thread)

Crack on if you want to look like a dick

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

Ridiculous

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
