AIBU to go and knock at the neighbours house??

[Nemoandthefishes]

they are away leaving their late teen/early 20s sons at home. Last night one of them had a party that resulted in them loudly singing outside until 6.30am when a police riot van turned up because some of them were fighting. They then stopped arguing and must have gone to bed around 7.30am. Of course partly due to that I was up all night[also up due to dd1 asthma but could have caught some sleep from about 4am onwards]. Anyways now one of the sons has just been lugging a crate of beer into the house so fear we are in for the same type of night again so do I go and knock and say something?? Dont mind them having a party etc but its the excess of it all being outside all night with singing at the tops of their voices.

I hate these situations - not sure you can win. Of course you would be perfectly within your rights to go and ask them to keep it down tonight, but I doubt the response would be "oh I'm sorry we were so inconsiderate, of course we'll be quiet tonight". I would send the DC's out with the saucepan lids at 8am in the morning though

lol whatdayisit I may do that!!
To be fair the lads are usually responsible quiet lads but obviously a gang of mates and a lot of ale means they aint so lovely..

Offer to grass them up to their parents if they disturb you again?

Or like whatdayisit says, ring their doorbells repeatedly at 7am or summat like that

arghh they are now on the doorstep drinking and shouting to each other and its only bloody 9pm!

Ohhhh that's a hard one...... i remember thinking how boring (old) people can be when i was at parties at that age. Maybe a quick word would'nt do any harm..... they can only at worst ignore you!? .... spose we just have to try and remember what we used to be like..... although to nights in a row is a little excessive!!!!
Good luck!

I'd just go round and say 'Alright lads, don't mind you enjoying yourselves but would you mind not taking it outside tonight, just for the kids. Thanks' I wouldn't threaten them with telling their parents, they'll probably kick lumps out of your lawn once they're pissed.
If they are nice lads, they'll probably be fine about it, they just don't think at that age.

I remember loads of parties like that as a teen which I both held and attended but I never recall us all being outside singing at the top of our lungs for the whole night Dh has just said see how they go and if they get loud he will go and knock as he talks to their dad quite a lot

Well, if you are too worried about retaliation, complain once nicely...

then call in the old bill.

Don't mind people enjoying themselves, but they sound inconsiderate.

parties seem to go on longer these days-do all youngsters take drugs now or something?in my day most parties would end about 2am at the latest,with some girl crying in the kitchen,someone throwing up in the loo and a drunken person passed out in the bath with no eyebrows

i dont get why they have to go outside,either,i have assumed for the last 10 years that its a northern thing

to be honest......i dont remember our parties spilling out side either, must be the nice weather! ..... not sure i would be as reasonable as i sound if it was my nieghbours either!

Parties I remember, Had to have someone passed out on the lawn. (normally with their trousers round their ankles cos they took the wrong turn) lol

see I remember the girl crying locked in the bathroom because of some unrequieted love..I also remember one party where I wanted to kill some lad who had flicked unlit matches onto the floor but my mum had wood floors so they had fallen into the boards too deep to hoover out but too shallow not to be seen I spent 3hrs the next day just picking out the matches!!

Ranting's suggestion is good - for total irresistability (and also, weirdly, a bit of protection against teen bravado), I'd take one of your little ones, all pyjama'd & sleepy, on your shoulder when you go round to make the request.

kids all in bed at the min and they have moved back into the house so we will see

OMG we had this too at ours last night. Till past 2am, house directly opposite ours at the back. Was very tempted to just open back doors and shout "SHUT UP!" but restrained self. Had planned to be noisy this am as we went off to church but in the event didnt get up in time due to loud party/ restless dd

why don't you call nvironmental health?
