What time do your kids play outside til?

[JayJay514]

It’s currently 10.20pm and my neighbours 5 kids are still outside. they are being quite noisy- shouting to each other, jumping on the trampoline and one is kicking a ball against the fence. I can’t open the bedroom windows even thought it’s incredibly hot as it’s so noisy and two of my own kids can’t sleep with the noise but I don’t know if I’m being over sensitive as it’s been a hard week for us and I’m still quite emotional.

Mine are in from the garden by 8pm.

DD is 7 and comes in at 7 on a Friday and Saturday and at 6 during the week. It sounds very late for your neighbour’s kids to be out.

It's incredibly antisocial but legally, they are fine making noise until 11pm I'm afraid.

8pm generally in the summer.
10.20pm is way too late and would piss me off 😂

mine are allowed in the garden till bedtime however if it is after 8pm on a weekday, 9pm on a weekend then they have to be being quiet - no louder than normal talking

At this time of year DD 11 is allowed out till 10pm at the weekends, 9pm school nights.

He needs to be in showered and fed before bedtime.

The bigger problem are next doors 4 uni age children (effectively 10 adults) who smoke weed all day i the garden.

What age are these kids? 10.20pm seems late. During summer holidays my eldest 11 plays out until it’s dark but it takes kids time to wind down so if they’re still out playing at 10.20 what time are they getting to sleep

Mine are inside by 7.30 but they are under 6. I don't mind if there is noise at 10.20pm though. We got used to late night noise iliving in a busy clubbing area of London and are fairly immune to it now - the dcs sleep through anything.

The only thing that would piss me of is the ball against the fence.

I actually like hearing music and noise kids/adults laughing having fun. Makes me feel happy inside.

8 o clock but they have to quietend down from 6pm, otherwise I drag them in.

Summer is so short here. Let them enjoy it as much as possible, within reason!

Latest is once the solar lights start coming on in the garden. If they are very noisy and don't calm it down after being told to I will make them tidy up and come in earlier.

eldest is about 11 and youngest is 2.

Everyone has their own ideas about acceptable times but noise laws in the uk are generally about 11PM-7AM. I personally think 8:30AM would be ok, but 8AM a bit early.

In my old house, I was blithely told by a neighbour with teens that parties finished by midnight. Their teens used to several times a year have parties like that complete with loud music and screaming which gradually wound down starting at midnight.

For me night time noise is far worse than daytime noise and amplified music is far worse than instruments.

But 8AM is probably a little early.

Sorry, wrong thread!

2030 or sometimes 2100 here. Which feels a bit late to me, but dh doesn't enforce rules so it is hard. He was also going to mow the lawn at 2100 yesterday which I stopped.

No younger children in the immediate neighbours although I can't imagine we are popular.
