To let the kids play out at 8am on a Sunday?

[Oysterbabe]

There's snow! It won't stick around for long, it's forecast to turn to rain in the next hour and is already starting to disappear. I let the kids out to build a snowman and play from 8, they were nagging from 6:30. They're aren't screaming but are laughing and making general playing noise. They are 3 and 5. It's lovely to see them having a bit of excitement and something different in their bored locked down lives. Is this unreasonable on the neighbours? We live in a private cul de sac with 10 other houses.
Are there really people who would want to deny small children the chance of a little bit of fun? We're usually very good neighbours and snow is a very infrequent occurrence here.

I'd wait an hour unless they are really quiet and angelic. I mean by other people's standards.

Normally too early but snow is different!!

I was about to say YABU but then I saw there was snow.
That makes it different.
Crack on!

I think normally it's perhaps a little early but not with snow! I stuck the cat outside this morning and there were plenty of people about. If anyone is miserable about it then I think they are best ignored x

I was out with mine at 7 the other week - it was about to rain and the snow would.have vanished

Not remotely unreasonable. A bit sad so many people think it is.

And I really hope they enjoy it.

No not at all let them go out and play, snow is such a rare thing. I live in a quiet culdesac and I’m surprised I haven’t heard my neighbours children out yet, I may go knock and say I don’t mind incas they’re thinking the same

We're out, lovely big flakes!

If there's snow it's ok!

On a normal day too early, but on a snow day crack on ☃️☃️

I would be out with them and would of started the snowball fight. It doesn’t last long and you can be inside with a hot chocolate, with marshmallows later .
My complaint would be , why didn’t you call on me when you first went out❄️⛄️

Absolutely fine. It’s lockdown and your kids are enjoying a bit of play in the snow outdoors. You don’t do this every week.

I’m a grumpy arsehole and like peace and quiet but even I would raise a smile at seeing kids playing in snow. And 8am isn’t that early really, it’s not like it’s 6am

Also, I’m jealous of your snow, we haven’t had any so for that alone, YABU 😁

We're going for 9am. Retired and childfree couples surround us so don't think before then is fair on a Sunday. They will be noisy!

Not when there is snow!

I took my boys out around 8, we've just got in. Walking past some houses I said, 'remember not to be too loud' to which teenage ds replied 'mum I hate being woken up early, but its snowing, that changes everything, you can't be grumpy when it's snowy'

We went out at 6:45 this morning, and nextdoor (who don't have children) came out to play with us.
I hate to live near any of these killjoys who seem to only exist on Mumsnet.

I would*

We have snow and mine have been out since 820! Different rules when there’s snow (in lockdown!)

I wouldnt mind at all, especially after the year we have had. I couldnt deny little ones playing in the snow before it goes

Noise really bothers me especially early/late in the day but I'd really struggle to get annoyed at kids having fun in the snow!! Let em be!!

Mine were out at 730 and they're teens! I don't think they've seen 7.30 on a Sunday for years.

Retired and older people get up early so don’t worry and they love the sounds of children’s voices. Go for it and let them have some fun.

Get them out. Little ones having snow fun during shitty times is the best.
