To be frustrated about my "early bird" neighbour?

[BeHappyAndSmile]

So every day during the week I get woken up at 6am by them doing some loud clean up of the garden, including launching glass bottles into the recycling and slamming about (I usually get up for work at 7 so it's only an hour and I don't moan about that to anyone but my partner haha). Now today they decided to cut the grass at half 7 in the morning! I just want a little bit of a lie in, I'm 30 weeks pregnant and my sleep is atrocious through the night now, it my day off....and now no lie in. So aibu?

don't bring your pregnancy in to it as it's not relevant, but 07.30 is ridiculously early to cut the grass at the weekend. Id say 9, but I'd wait til 10 myself.

I was up at 6:30 this morning. Did I go outside to put the bottles in the recycling, or decide to start gardening? No! I was sensible, and vegged out in front of an Agatha Christie until it was a more acceptable time of the day!

As I have neighbours who put loud music on in the garden until 2 or 3am I personally would mow early if I wanted to, or use a hedge trimmer, sander etc. The neighbours don't do it regularly any more than I'd mow that early regularly. I know I've woken them up at 8am on a Sunday when they've kept the street 'entertained' the night before, great fun when they've got a hangover after the gin bottle made it's appearance

Haha not an actual sofa @BoyTree but this - www.outandout.com/Copenhagen-luxury-corner-rattan-set-out-and-out-original?search=Copenhagen&category_id=0

I think that that's too much every morning.

They're up & want to get on-fair enough, but sounds as if they just do the jobs with no thought of trying to be quiet!

I wouldn't mow my lawn at that time myself, but it wouldn't worry me if my neighbours did. Today I got up early, but will have a siesta later, perhaps do the same with a cool fan on if you have one.

I certainly don't think you are lazy and entitled, OP! Goodness me lol. I'm saying that in my neighbourhood it would be seen that way. I used to live in the UK and in general people seemed to get up later - I think maybe because it's quite dark and people spend more time inside? Probably all sorts of cultural reasons that we don't need to go into.

The point I was making was simply that people all have different ideas about what is normal/acceptable, so it's good to get a "feel" for a neighbourhood. It also applies to things like parking in the street, how loudly kids will play outside, whether or not people say hi to each other, whether or not it's ok to throw a big party etc. It takes time to see how the land lies when you are in a new place.

I'm often up at 5 ish, so clean the kitchen etc and possibly could have been guilty of throwing the recycling out! Though unlikely to be loud lol.

The mowing grass was early, but I think that given the weather forecast for the extreme temperatures its the best time to do it.
If you have a problem with his noise waking you, perhaps shut the window and use an air con device to reduce the impact?
Fwiw from 30 weeks I regularly slept downstairs due to struggling to sleep and being so hot! 🔥

How does someone sleeping at 7am make them lazy and entitled?

You have misread what I wrote. Sleeping at anytime is one's own business. What I said was asking someone to stop doing something because it is disturbing your sleep, at a time when everybody else in the area is always already awake and doing things, is lazy and entitled. I would imagine that OP isn't in that situation if she is in the UK and most people there aren't out making noise at that time.

Nah that's a bit crap. I generally for example never usually allow my young children out in the garden before half 9 on a weekend day because I'm conscious that they'll make a total din and wake neighbours (we only have one set) who might be having a lie in.

However my neighbours have recently turned into selfish arseholes probably because they're moving in two weeks who stand right under my (open at the moment) bedroom windows with their family who are staying until 11-12 at night shouting and generally being a massive pain in the arse, all week and weekend. So this morning I let my two out in the garden at 7am with their YouTube songs while I had a leisurely coffee sat out there with mostly baby shark playing loudly. Windows were banged shut and annoyed mutterings were audible. Good.

It's all about give and take. Generally as I said we try really hard to keep the noise down and other disturb people as little as possible. However if someone is being an inconsiderate arse then you won't feel bad if they get disturbed by your neighbour noise in future.

If my neighbours weren't moving I would pop round and ask them really nicely to please keep it down a little which is what I'd suggest you do. I only haven't bothered because since they've sold they've become noticeably and obnoxiously loud, parked inconveniencing everyone else and stopped speaking to everyone so they clearly don't care anymore.
