Kids outside

[starshollowtownselectman]

Everyone has their windows open with the weather and kids are out in their gardens.

Children laughing - lovely
Children shouting a bit cause they’re excited - perfectly fine
but for the love of god stop your children from screaming.

I have no issue with hearing kids play and even shout across the garden to each other but whyyyy are we screaming.
AIBU?

Kids scream, it’s an outlet. I’m sure you screamed as a kid.

Actually they don't. Only annoying kids scream.

All kids scream. Perhaps try it yourself sometime, could do you some good.

As a parent and someone who is around lots of kids, I can assure you they really don't scream. The only people who think it's normal is the lazy parents with the shitty screaming kids 🙄

There were loads out around here yesterday of varying ages, none of them screamed.

Ours didn’t, if they did, they’d have been told to shut up.

All I can say is when the film Frozen frenzy started my kids were in the garden singing/ screaming Let It Go on at the top of their voices over and over again. 😁

no neighbours were harmed in the process

My kids were out playing with water canon gun things yesterday. Laughing, running about.

Then I came out, they got me, I screamed and screamed. The ice cold water. So cold. So sudden.

They thought it was hilarious.

My kids scream and they are banned from
playing outside because of it.
outside = our quiet community garden. Public playground they don’t scream so much… go figure.

When a group of us screamed whkle playing a racing game in the street a load of people came out of their houses to see what all the racket was!

My neighbour seems to think it’s acceptable to let her kids in the garden any time from 6.30am where they then bellow at each other and play very very loudly. I’m absolutely at the end of my tether with it, my kids are categorically not allowed outside before 8am and any loud noises would see them coming straight back inside!
