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?

9.00 is acceptable imo.

Alles blimey!

I think I must be just inured to noise. I live on a main road, in a block of flats, in a building with nearly a thousand other people, and on the whole (with a few exceptions in previous years) we really don't have a problem with noise at all. I really struggle to imagine squeaking four doors away at all.

And since we've had double-glazing fitted, the noise from the buses, the cars, the police sirens, the tube trains, and the drunks from the pub opposite has completely faded out, too! (To be fair, no drunks from the pub in the last year anyway.) And what there is acts as a kind of white noise machine, and cancels all the other noise out!

Its really as simple as following the same hours when you can do diy as I said early. Any loud noise whether its diy, mowing lawn, shrieking noisy children should follow the same hours.
That's the approach I take.
I don't think weekend mornings should be sacred for those who want to sleep most of the morning away. We generally avoid being out before 9.30, but I wouldn't mind neighbours choosing to be in their garden from 9am. If people choose to lie in past 10am then that's up to them, but it's unreasonable to expect everyone in the vicinity to not get on with things during the morning.

8am is too early. I hate trampolines and the associated shrieking and screaming.

8am is too early. 9am, max.

I would say 9, I would be annoyed if someone started mowing or jet washing before 9 and to my mind its a similar kind of thing

9am Sat but not before 10am on a Sunday.

Drove me insane, thud creak thud creak thud creak

I know. It's a special kind of hell on earth.

I'd say 9 BUT it is a fe king long morning when you've been up since 5 something, and you need to be quiet and inside.
And no, not all kids can be trained out of early waking.
My 11 year old is still awake the wrong side of 6am. He will be lights out around 10 tonight, and is often awake when I go to bed. Yes, he knows he needs to stay in bed, but I still hear him go to the bathroom. I then doze for an hour, but pretty sure he doesnt.

10am at the earliest. Trampolines and the associated repetitive noises are annoying as hell. I don’t mow my lawn or power hose early in the morning because I am considerate of my neighbours. Everyone is struggling right now and a couple of extra hours of sleep for some people can really make a difference.

Lol at 'trained out of it'. DS rarely makes 6am, I'm.all ears if any guru wants to get him going later, we've tried everything.

I'd say 9 is fine but as long as it wasnt mega loud.

10am. 8am is FAR too early and really inconsiderate imo

I think it would depend how often it happened and other factors, but honestly i think if you live near people, you need to expect noise.
Ive lived next door to musicians, to pubs, estates full of kids playing, but nothing has been so horrible as living next to people who moan constantly about normal noise.

That may be so but he doesn't have to go in the garden making noise, he can play quietly indoors for a while or watch TV (if allowed), while others wake up gently.

You can't train a kid to sleep late, they either do or they don't (& when he's a teenager you'll have problems getting him up for anything), but you can teach them that not everyone is up and ready to go so early so they need to learn to be considerate.

I think 10am is early enough for trampolining.

@jessstan2I wasnt saying they should. Inwas challenging the claim that all kids can be trained out of waking early.

But for me 9am is acceptable (though DS doesnt)

As the person who made the comment about children being trained to sleep past 5 (5!), I stand by that except in all but the most exceptional circumstances. You might only get them to 6 or 6.30 but it's less hideous than 5. The neighbour was putting children to bed at 5.30 p.m and wondering why they were up at 5 a.m! It does take time but you can in my experience gradually shift most children to a less hideous waking up time by putting in place measures like bedtimes which arent when most people arent even home from work, using blackout blinds, gro-clocks, enduring they have had good food and exercise the previous day, etc.

9 am to wake or to go out trampolining ? :-)

Mine never woke early except when going to school or I went to work. We all liked our sleep.

When yours is a teenager you'll have trouble waking them for anything.

I think we have our wires crossed.

DS gets up early, always has. I was challenging the notion that you can train that out of them.

Regardless of that, I have no issue with kids outside at 9am, I didnt before I had children.

I would absolutely not let my DS outside on his trampoline at 8am. It's just far too early and there are plenty of other activities they can be doing before they need some fresh air.

Personally I'd suggest at least 10am and 11am onwards on a Sunday.

After 9 am up to 8pm.

Builders across the road start work at 8am each day including Saturday. And sometimes Sunday. Hey ho. Suck it up It’s going to get worse though as the weather improves. Also, lame of neighbour to involve you.. if they have a problem, I feel you don’t, then they should complain. Not you

If you can't muster the enthusiasm to care then 8am is fine.

9am onwards is fine. Not sure why Sunday gets a special extra hour of quiet, it’s not as though the majority of us observe it as the day of rest in 2021.

I wouldn't fight over this one and the difference of an hour or so later...especially as it didn't bother you

This sort of thing used to really piss me off - but one day I decided to 'reframe' it, and tried to think how nice it was to hear children playing outside and not stuck inside on their x boxes.

It's kind of worked - I'm much more tolerant now!
