To think that 7.15am on Sunday is too early for kids to be out yelling in the garden

[SureBorisKnowsWhatHesDoingNOT]

Our neighbours behind us have two noisy little girls. I actually like hearing them giggling and shouting in the day, they are nice girls but dear lord, Sunday 7.15am is TOO early.

I don't blame them, whoever is looking after them should be the one setting limits. I occasionally hear a female voice shouting loudly so presume it is their (slightly odd) Mum. Never seen Dad.

Gah. No point here really, I'm just tired, can't get back to sleep and needed to grumble.

One of our neighbours has just taken up chainsaw art. I kid you not! 7am every Sunday come rain or shine and it carries on most of the day.
I feel your pain OP.

All of them? Or does that mean that the other neighbours have to put up with the partying at night then your kids in the morning?

The other neighbours have mental health issues and begin shouting about their conspiracy theories at about 6:30.

To be clear, this shouting is in the garden as well

It’s way too early and the reason they’re outside screaming is because their parents can’t stand it indoors. Selfish pair.

I think 9 is fair on the weekends. This is selfish.

@Tiramiwho - quite often she looks very vacant - a bit away with the fairies. One time when we bumped into her outside she was really nice and chatty. A few weeks later I bumped into her and she clearly had no idea who I was and looked completely bewildered when I said hello (although maybe she has that face blindness thingy, we weren't on our lane although we were in the village the second time). I think she may have some issues but don't know/mind/care at all. I just don't want to hear her children at 7.15am on a Sunday even though they are lovely girls!

Tbh after hearing about the neighbour who has taken up chainsaw art I think maybe I should stop complaining!

''I think after 8:30 is ok as almost everyone will be awake but 7:15 some people are likely still asleep at the weekend.''

eh where the hell do you live? Vast majority of people would be asleep at 7: 15 on wkends and many still be sleeping at 8:30.

I wouldn't mind too much if it was a one off, a couple of weekends ago my neighbour over the back hired a bouncy castle for a child's birthday and they were out on it pretty much from dawn to dusk getting their moneys worth which was slightly annoying but as a one off I let it go and didn't bring it up. I did breathe a sigh of relief when I saw that said bouncy castle had gone though.

I let my two in the garden around 8:30 when they were younger. I used to wait until the next door neighbour had their kids outside. Our other neighbour goes to work at 6 on the weekends so it wasn't an issue.
If we'd had neighbours with no kids/wanted to sleep late I'd probably say 9:30 is fine.
My two eldest are teenagers now so they don't get up before 11 now anyway.

Depends

if their neighbour had a party last night, then 7:30 is too LATE.

If the neighbours are all considerate, then it's bloody rude and they should wait for 10am like the rest of us.

I think parents with young children get blinded by the fact that those of us with older children and teenagers or even no kids at all are not all up and doing at 8,30 on a bloody weekend,

But it cuts both ways. Young children are often in bed for 7pm but it's considered totally fine for people to be noisy in their gardens later than that.

It doesn't bother me that my neighbours socialise loudly in their gardens till 11pm, sometimes midnight, even though it sometimes disturbs my kids sleep. I get that different people have different schedules. So I expect my neighbours to get over it if my kids are playing outside at 8.

It's a bit early!

I'm an early riser - usually awake about 5:20, which is just as well because our street is a popular one to walk a dog (can't really work
out why) and there's a wee shop just a bit further along so from early in the morning (6 onwards) people are talking loudly to their dogs (or from about 7 their kids) all at top volume. - absolutely NO consideration at all!!

Tell the mum that you do love hearing them playing in the garden, but could they possibly wait until after 9am at weekends. She probably just hasn't thought about people wanting a peaceful lie-in, and if you make it clear you don't mind later in the day, she hopefully won't take offence, or start worrying about letting them play outside at all.

I know I was glad when our neighbours said that they liked hearing/seeing my DD dancing and singing in the garden - I had occasionally worried that she might be disturbing them.

If it's regular then it's a thing, if it's the first time then the odd time everyone is up way tooearlyand have no concept of time (not okay but parents have an out for that day only as they are trying to stay alive)

9am is the absolute earliest noisy garden activities should occur and that includes my next door neighbour's builders at 7.45 on Saturday morning! 9am until 10pm is fair game but I still think it shouldn't be sustained noise even then apart from occasionally.

@Spanielstail 7.15 or 8.30 we are still asleep on weekends! I'm usually awake by 10 but the girls are asleep last midday.

I'd rather children making noise in the morning than the racket adults make with their sodding sound systems into the wee small hours when fuelled by beer/wine --and a sense of their own superiority.

Could have posted this exact thing a couple of weeks ago but thought I’d get flamed for asking. 7.15am on a Sunday but they were out shouting and singing to music on an outdoor speaker. I have no idea what goes on in peoples’ heads sometimes.

It's the summer holidays. It was pouring with rain yesterday. They need to let off some steam, Just let them get on with it.

Someone here was mowing at 6.30 this morning. I'm becoming immune.

I don’t think they should be shouting at that time, but playing quietly and giggling is ok? Many young kids are up at 5am so 7:15 feels like mid morning!

I think 9am is fine.

Screaming at any time of day isn't.

I don't mean just being loud but the standing and literally screeching and shrieking.

I live opposite a park.

There's kids out there now playing football - it's a nice happy noise. No screaming or shouting just some playing and every now again some real laughter.

Doesn't bother me when they are out at 9am either. Again as long as no shrieking.

The only annoying thing was the gate that slammed and it's a metal one. But I got all the neighbours to help when council weren't bothered and we got that sorted. That really was a noise problem.
