To want to scream shut the fuck up

[Rosebel]

Okay I know the football is a massive deal to some, I can't watch it as I find it too stressful.
I'm upstairs consoling my sobbing 1 year old who was asleep but was woken by people opposite who are yelling, cheering, groaning, swearing and singing. Given we're not even 30 minutes ini can see it getting worse. I mean fair enough cheering when they score but it was only once
Feel like screaming shut the fuck up. There are quite a few children who are /were asleep I'd think in our road (children under 3) and it's just so inconsiderable to make so much noise the entire time.
Poor baby is falling asleep and then wakes with a jump as these idiots bellow. They are clearly being over loud as usually baby sleeps through most normal noise.
Know I actually am being unreasonable as it's a one off but fuck me it's annoying.
Sorry feel better for the rant and obviously not going to scream shut the fuck up but am very tempted.

@ancientgran I'd actually argue her wanting to scream at them was worse. Hers is in anger rather than happy excited cheering. If you feel the need to scream in anger at people who have slightly disrupted you (ok a crying baby is not fun for anyone but they've not ruined the entire night just caused a brief wake up) then you may want to look into anger management. My child has been woken up before by inconsiderate actions from neighbours, not once has my response been to want to scream at them. I may swear to myself and have a moan to my partner but that's about it because other people's lives shouldn't stop because I have a baby.

The OP is not wanting to stop anyone enjoying the football.

Probably just wondering why people can't enjoy it without screaming, shouting and turning into drunken imbeciles.

And I'm not entirely sure how they can actually watch the thing they supposedly are so excited by when behaving like the above...

Ahh come on it's once in a lifetime event, surely you can accept it for one night

I don’t know why everyone seems to think common decency goes out the window because of football. It is annoying, like any excessive noise. There’s not much you can do about it, but it is very annoying. It’s part of the reason I really dislike football, the ‘enjoyment’ of it seems to be so aggressive.

This.

But she hasn't screamed at them.

So many saints on here.

Just wait until your kids want fireworks on bonfire night or are screaming round the garden and annoying the neighbours.

Also, a 3pm kick off wouldn't stop people from getting drunk, they'd still drink afterwards. They tried earlier kick off for the Old Firm games and people still got drunk.

But I think people who have backyard fireworks or let their children make excessive noise outdoors are also selfish. When you live around others you should moderate your noise levels. It’s fine to enjoy yourself, but your enjoyment shouldn’t impinge on others’ enjoyment.

I don't let my kids have fireworks at home. Think it's too dangerous. Nor would I let them scream for over 2 hours in the garden (or house).
People want to watch football. Absolutely fine. People want to celebrate when they score. Also fine.
People want to scream, shout, swear and scream is obviously also fine according to most on here but I just find it annoying, especially when it wakes my son up.
I'll tell him it's just one night. I expect he'll just go to sleep then

One NYE during a particularly lengthy fireworks marking midnight from someone on our cul de sac the bloke next door ( he and his wife had 3 under 4 at this point) stuck his head out the window and roared " shut the fuck up!" I sympathised with him a bit, but it was quite funny.

@ancientgran far from a saint. Just mindful of the fact that when you live in a house with close neighbours you can't guarantee you won't be disturbed occasionally. I'm well aware that my baby crying might have disturbed them during the night so I like to allow leeway for them disturbing us. As far as I'm concerned that's what good neighbours do. And as a lot of people on Mumsnet like to say, if you don't like it don't buy a house with close neighbours.

I’d just be grateful they haven’t got the vuvuzelas out!!
Ah op I understand your annoyance, if you’ve got kids it’s just a pita.
Mine are old enough to be up and really excited but we’re in the house and not disturbing anyone.
It’s all over from tonight, your little one will catch up on lost sleep.

How thin are your windows?

@Noterook

How thin are your windows?

Double glazed but they are just being loud. Although they're actually not doing it constantly now so hopefully he'll be asleep soon.

There have been so many threads on here over the years about family noise. Kids playing, kids crying, kids running. Kids shouting at other sibling kids, parents shouting at squabbling kids. Balls bouncing, skateboards grinding, family chatter, barbecues, and fireworks. Power tools, lawn mowers, strimmers.

ALL of these IMO are part and parcel of communal living. If you have nearby dwellers, you accept that there are times when neighbours will be noisy, and times when you are the noise.

And BBQs.

I don’t care for football but you are being very unreasonable to expect football fans to accommodate your baby on this one day/evening

Yanbu. I'm so glad it is raining here. Even with people inside their houses I can the screaming and banging.

YABU.

It's one night.... and your post wasn't even late! The world doesn't stop just because of your kids!

Bloody clap for carers woke my kids up every Thursday last spring- 8pm, just when you e got toddlers to bed! that was really annoying!

Yeah very inconsiderate...

It is annoying. People should be considerate. Yet u get them acting like hooligans over a ball...

It's crap but it's one night. So much has been taken away for the last year, people want to celebrate and enjoy it. And I have literally no interest in football at all.

I couldn't get mad about it, it's one night
I grew up living in pubs! So as a baby/toddler and older living actually above the pub, you get used to it (I sleep through anything now). Weirdly if I close my eyes I can hear the glasses being collected and my dad shouting "time at the bar" and the last orders bell

Next time, just get him up, get him downstairs, put the TV on to something you want to watch and cuddle up on the sofa together under a duvet. It's a lot easier on nights like that than going in and out like a yo-yo trying to settle them. Then just put him in bed when you go up.

We've had a few times where something has been going on that has kept DD awake, rare as she sleeps like a log but we had a tractor parade past our door with horns beeping and stuff when lockdown began It's easier just to accept it's a different kind of night and just go with it.
