AIBU to be totally peed off right now?!

We're on our last night away from home, just a cheap and cheerful week away in a holiday park with the DC's and my DH.

Last night a VERY loud family checked into the caravan next door to us.. they were fairly loud all evening but we figured it's their holiday too and of course, their little ones were probably super excited to be away!

Their children were playing outside, right into the early hours.. but all quieted down from their side around 1am ish so we did manage to get some sleep thankfully!!!

Anyway. We have been back in our caravan for around 2 hours now after having taken the kids out for the evening, and ever since being back here it's been an absolute nightmare!!!

When we returned? We saw that the family had piled up their belongings, bags suitcases etc against their car so we assumed perhaps they were leaving / moving locations in the park.. well was I wrong!!!

The parents began a screaming match which just hasn't stopped. She packed her partners bags up and told him to leave.. I've got our DC's in bed now finally, but can hear their arguing as I type this, at 11:20pm at night.
She is screaming at her partner because he doesn't want to 'sleep with her' tonight (to put it in better wording) and their children are screaming and running around between our caravans playing on their scooters, from the sounds of it.. the caravan is super thin as it is, and the noise is just ricocheting from every direction..

I just feed a little fed up. Our children are trying to sleep and I just can't hear myself think!!

I suppose I'm asking, WIBU to ask them to quiet down...? How would I go about it? I'm just beyond exhausted now..

Isn't there any security on site you could ask to have a eked?

AuntieDolly · 15/07/2021 23:36

Word!

ILoveYouILoveYouIDo · 15/07/2021 23:38

Call security. I personally wouldn't get involved in other people's domestics.

Uggmugg · 15/07/2021 23:39

They don't seem like reasonable people. I'd phone the park management. There must be a noise policy past a certain time.

Fl0w3ry · 15/07/2021 23:39

They don't sound like the sort you are likely to be able to reason with. I would report it to the actual site if they have a reception or security.

Stuckhere2021 · 15/07/2021 23:40

They sound like utter nut jobs- people with that level of lack of awareness will most likely ignore you or give you grief if you ask them to keep it down. Just be grateful it’s your last night rather than your first!!

FrangipaniDeLaSqueegeeMop · 15/07/2021 23:42

OMG OP that exact same thing happened to me in Cornwall last year when I was staying in a caravan!

I lapped up the drama and let the kids watch TV while I curtain twitched Grin

TwoZeroTwoZero · 15/07/2021 23:55

Call park security. They can tell them to shut up even if it's a private van.

Dogvmarmot · 15/07/2021 23:58

please dont talk to them or get involved. it would be quite a volatile situation for you. Perhaps discreetly ask the park security..... so sorry that your children and you have to hear that.

whatausername · 16/07/2021 00:00

Put a chair out and get some snacks. If they're going to make a spectacle of themselves then you might as well spectate!

Or call reception/security.

SalsaLove · 16/07/2021 00:03

She’s shouting at him for not having sex with her? Blimey

HeavenHotel · 16/07/2021 00:18

it's all the drama Mick, I just love it!

:)

Sorry OP, I know you're knackered. Phone security.

cherish123 · 16/07/2021 01:17

YANBU.

SecretRedhead · 16/07/2021 10:24

What happened after you posted? If you haven't already, go and speak to the Site Manager now. There are rules to using caravan parks, you have to keep your noise level down after a certain time. You agree to it when you sign up. Go and see the Site Manager and get this dealt with asap.

staringstepan · 16/07/2021 12:06

I'd have been curtain twitching and sitting with my ear to the door Grin

grasshopping · 16/07/2021 20:54

Hello - thanks for your replies!
I went out in the end and just explained that we have young kids in the caravan and asked really politely if they could maybe keep the volume down just a little.
Wish I didn't bother now as she went absolutely crazy at me and threw out a hell of a lot of threads.
Park management moved us this morning first thing but still so worried about bumping into them whilst here 😣

Are you not now home if last night was your last night? No need to worry about bumping into them

hedgehogger1 · 16/07/2021 21:01

They should have been asked to leave, what awful people

grasshopping · 16/07/2021 21:02

@greyspottedgoose we have decided to stay overnight tonight, too since DP's parents live close by so planned a fleeting visit to them tomorrow late afternoon.
Now we have moved locations we are hoping it will be quieter! I just need a good nights sleep 🥲

Lemonmelonsun · 16/07/2021 21:06

Op please don't intervene like that that again, hopeful you'll never have too, but she doesn't care about her own dc hearing why would she care about yours? Very volite worked up people.... Glad you've moved but don't mention again, in future get park people to investigate or police.

PushOrPull · 16/07/2021 21:11

Well no caravan was rocking so you did go knocking Grin.

In all seriousness they sound vile. They should've been moved. Don't worry about seeing them again. Enjoy your holiday.

grasshopping · 16/07/2021 21:22

Thanks everyone! It's so unlike me to even intervene, it took a lot of courage but I think the tiredness was the leading factor, I was just desperate for some sleep 🤣 hoping we won't bump into them now :)
