Easter egg hunt at 6.30am

[AliceAbsolum]

Both the parents outside with the kids, several kids running around screaming at 6.30am. Do people have no shame?

If my neighbours did this, it would give me permission to make noise around midnight.

Obviously I dont know oP's neighbours but if theyre the similar to the ones we got, sound of children's laughter is one thing. The screaming is another and genuinely terrible sounding.

I don't think I would feel guilty being out early Easter Sunday. Same way I wouldn't feel guilty about noise late on New Year's Eve. If it's not a regular occurrence it's fine.

Oh I thought it was funny because it was true and exposes the lack of Christian tolerance in the OP. So it looks disrespectful on its face but comes from an actually more Christian perspective.

The dog being allowed to bark all the time seems much more annoying than one Easter egg hunt a year.

Ffs it’s normal for YOU. Not most people. How can you be so inconsiderate of others?

Yes but this isn’t about pre planning or doing the ‘right’ thing. It’s about kids having fun 🥲 good lord people are utterly miserable

I thought it was funny

It’s perfectly possible to let your children have fun and to be considerate to one’s neighbours, it just means having the egg hunt a little later. Consideration for others is one of the most important things that you can teach children and the best way to do that is to demonstrate it. And if being considerate makes me miserable then I’ll happily claim the title.

In my neighbourhood, the (male) parents also go out and bellow, whipping the children up into a frenzy. Echoes beautifully with their L shaped houses, patios and astroturf.

Oh my god yes, there’s 364 other days to teach your kids to be good people. Getting briefly woken up at 6.30 is not the end of the world. Go outside and touch some grass x

I’d be tempted to buy some fireworks to set off at 9pm 😂

Which people literally do every year! Which is also a bit of fun and very brief.

if everyone looks around there’s a lot more to be worked up about.

there’s other ways to do it or course, but that’s not what that family did, and they aren’t awful people or unreasonable for having a bit of fun this morning

It’s a normal time to get up.

the bodies rhythm is to have a nap if tired

i think this is the cause of quite a lot of issues, actually.

Some people are just arseholes 🤷‍♀️

The problem is that these people who think they are entitled to disturb other people today at 6.30 think it's just fine to disturb other people at any time, whenever their children/dogs/themselves are having "fun".

It's not just one day of being inconsiderate, it's their nature.

No. I’m quite familiar with it thank you. You try giving a shit about other people for once as I suspect that it’s a novel concept to you. The kids will not spontaneously combust if they have to wait another 90 minutes or so. Many people struggle with sleep and they shouldn’t have to be deprived of it further just because someone thinks that their kids are too important to wait. Other activities are available in the meantime.

You know that for a fact do you? You’ve got no idea their reason this morning for going out early. People who were woken up with be okay, promise x

For those saying it’s only once a year and let the children have their fun, I’d be interested to know if a birthday party for a teen that’s really loud, goes on until 4am with drunken teens standing in the street bellowing would be fine if it’s just once a year?
Or would you all be outraged because your kids can’t sleep?
The parents are rude, entitled arses.

It’s an Easter egg hunt. They’re not putting on Glastonbury out there.

It doesn’t need to be Glastonbury to disturb people. The children are running around and screaming. That is enough to wake people up.

But that isn’t a comparison is it?

the two issues aren’t vaguely similar.

Their kids would have been fine being entertained indoors a little while longer if the parents could have been bothered to teach them some consideration. But they weren't bothered, so now their kids aren't learning that they are not the centre of everyone's universe x

Oooooh the kids are running around.

They are exactly the same
Other people's kids having "fun" at a time that suits THEM.

In my whole life I’ve never known any family get up at 6.30am to do an Easter egg hunt. It’s in no way comparable to fireworks on New Year’s Eve or bonfire night, it’s just not a thing to be doing that so early. Everyone I know who does a hunt does it the house as it’s pretty minging to be putting food outside on the ground for children to eat.
