To ask what the acceptable time is for kids being in the trampoline on the garden on a weekend?

[JamesMiddletonsMarshmallows]

Next door's kids were out at 8am on the trampoline. Neighbour on their other side is hoping I'll kick off about it with her (we are friendly and she messaged me). But I think 8am is actually ok, but no sooner. I CBA with a neighbourly dispute (plus my kids are gobshites any given day of the week)

Thoughts on an acceptable time?

8am is fine, I don't get the problem?

How can people be this lacking in awareness?

I am always up by 8am these days, despite not having young kids, but it isn't exactly hard to understand that other people might like a lie in?!

One of my neighbours hired a bouncy castle this weekend, it’s been on and off since Friday afternoon and they were on it before 9 this morning. I’m with your neighbour, nothing worse than being woken up so early by that kind of noise. Particularly bad at the moment when there’s no escape from it. 10am seems reasonable to me.

Afternoon tea instead of a big meal?

Given the restrictions on kids playing at the moment, I'd be pretty unimpressed with such a bad tempered and selfish neighbour!

Oops went back to the wrong thread sorry!

2 doors down had their kids bouncing, screaming and shouting on theirs till midnight Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday this week gone. How they got up and went to school in the morning is beyond me, the poor little buggers must be shattered and we were definitely sick to death of hearing it.

My 6yo has a 9am earliest on Saturday and 10am on Sunday rule.

You want to ‘kick off’ about it. Lovely. How about you see if it happens again and if so have a polite word. Or you could ‘kick off’ I guess.....

Oh stop it, this pandemic hasn't only affected children.

Imagine your neighbour is a supermarket worker/ nurse/ doctor/ insert stressful job of choice, if it's the only day they can have a lie in your precious child takes priority?

I'd think 8.30 was prob ok.
I think there are some quite strict posters here - not in the morning at all? What if your kids get up at 6 and the morning was a nicer forecast for the weather? No DC you cant go on the trampoline in your own garden at 10.45 because our beighbours might be sleeping in??
Or not after 5pm? It's not like anyone (even babies )will be going to bed at 5!

8am is too early, especially on a Sunday.

My child doesn't love to go outside but my neighbours kids are always out about that time.

For me, 8 is a lay in so I wouldn't mind. I think your neighbour should do her own dirty work though. If you don't have a problem, don't pretend you do.

Just go Google your councils noisy diy hours which will clearly state what time you can start and finish making noise on weekdays and weekends.

Those hours should apply to noisy and sometimes screaming children too.

I had to remindmy neighbour today when they started tearing down their bathroom at 7am this morning!! And there response was they didn't know.

I seriously question the lack of common sense and the intelligence of people who think that's acceptable or plead ignorance. Cos I bet my life if I woke then up at 7am blasting music they wouldn't be happy, instead I put my headphones on because I'm considerate

So in my area rules are diy only between 9-6pm on weekdays and on Saturday 9am-5pm and Sunday 10am - 1pm.

These times are there for a reason so that everyone can enjoy a bit of peace and quiet

Only on MN 🙄 8am is fine!!!

8am on a Sunday is not ok.

I let mine out from 10am at the earliest but mine are noisy. If they are just jumping earlier may be OK but screaming and giggling and singing would not be.

8am is very early, I wouldn't let my son on his at that time. I maybe up but my neighbours might not be, 10 and later I let him on. I think it's quite inconsiderate to think all the neighbours may want to hear your children that early in the morning

Wouldn’t let mine out to trampoline until 9am on a weekend

8am is fine.

9am Monday to Saturday and 10am on a Sunday. Wouldn't dream of letting my kids out on a trampoline at 8 on a Sunday. If up really early would of taken them to the park.

I dont let mine out to play until 10am. If earlier I take them to the park instead

@Mumdiva99

Whatever we say you weren't bothered. So no point starting a dispute about something you aren't bothered about.

Exactly.

Interesting mix of responses! I still can't be bothered about 8am - then again I'm up at 7pm even when the DC are at their dads

@Grandslam21

Did they actually wake your neighbour up, or is she just being a misery arse?

They woke her up

I was so embarrassed when I came back from an early run the other week to find my youngest merrily booting a football round the garden at 7.30 on a Sunday morning.
I’d say 9 is acceptable as long as they’re not screeching (which I wouldn’t let them do anyway)

If it doesn't bother you then don't get involved. Just say to the other neighbour that you personally aren't disturbed so you don't want to get into a discussion with the trampoline neighbour.

8am is too early. The first lockdown drove me mad with noise, everyone getting on with their "jobs" as they suddenly has loads of time (furlough people), drills etc from 8am every single day.. Was relentless. And next doors kids were out in the paddling pool shrieking and screaming from 8am every day. Impossible to work and home school with that kind of noise.... Why do some kids shriek so much?? And why do their parents allow it? Wouldn't have minded of they could have just limited the shrieking to outside school hours so we could have had some peace and calm during the day for work.
