AIBU to think my neighbours are losing the plot?

[Gardeniaofdelights]

We have a Facebook group for the housing estate on which I live, and one of my neighbours has just posted saying that on NYE his household will be having celebrations in their front garden, and inviting the rest of the street to do the same. He is promising music and mince pies, to wrap up shortly after the bells. Several neighbours have commented saying what a good idea this is and confirming they will join in. It’s turning into a veritable street party.

I’m possibly clouded in my judgment because I have a very young baby and therefore no interest whatsoever in staying up in my freezing front garden til midnight, but is this not just a bloody stupid idea? As well as not being particularly adherent to the spirit of the Covid rules, it’s going to mightily piss off anyone with young children and those who don’t stay up to celebrate NYE.

Am I just being unreasonably grumpy about this? And is there any point in me suggesting it’s a horrible idea which should be speedily reconsidered?

Nye is off this year. Everyone I know booking up take away slots and we are a socialabke lot who all live within walking distance

This is the exact sort of thing my estate would do & people would think it was a brilliant idea. I’m half waiting for someone to suggest it.

I’d have a quiet word and just say that you have a very young baby & are worried it will get noisy. Don’t do it on the group but do it in person.

If they insist on going ahead, I’d report them & have no qualms about doing it.

I really, really hope that non of my neighbours have this idea.
