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?

Ridiculous. And not teaching children to consider others at best. 6.30 is mad.

Yes and screaming which is obnoxious at any hour but especially so at 6:30. I do love threads like this though. I get to play spot the inconsiderate arseholes who don’t give a toss about anyone other than their family. Unfortunately there’s a lot of them around so it’s not exactly the most taxing of games.

quite ironic given your tone. A mirror would do. Off you pop x

Why aren’t they? It’s once a year, it’s loud and inconsiderate, it disturbs people trying to sleep. It’s very similar.
Neither are acceptable and both are done by entitled arses.

You first.

Who said anything about a massive group of people?

You have a small group 17 year olds next door being loud in the garden at 4.00am because they are in high spirits celebrating a birthday. Nothing illegal, they're just having fun with their friends, it's just one day a year. It's their birthday. But your kids are woken up by their noise.

You have a small group of 7 year olds being loud in the garden at 6.30 because they are in high spirits celebrating Easter. Nothing illegal, they're just having fun with siblings, it's just one day a year. It's Easter. But your family is woken up by their noise.

Both examples are selfish behaviour.
Both behaviours have consequences for others. Both totally avoidable.

And see...I managed to explain all of that to you without any name-calling.

I’ve said.

one would be deemed anti social behaviour by the authorities. One wouldn’t

it’s that straightforward.

Apologies. The rest of us are just “dimwits” of course.

the original poster suggested people bellowing in the streets

that bears no resemblance to your adapted analogy.

someone disturbing neighbours at 4am would not be viewed by authorities as acceptable in a residential area. Whereas two kids in a garden at 6.30 wouldn’t meet that threshold come on

Are you on my estate? 7am I had a family in my front garden finding hidden eggs in my lavender bush. Young boy squealing excitedly and the mom shouting well done you’re found them. Woke my son up. It’s 7am and you’re using my front garden for your hunt??? I was not bloody happy!!

Its times like these that remind me I am pretty lucky living where I do. Its a pretty grim area tbf but apart from the odd late party everyone is considerate and looks out for each other.

My friend lives in a bit of a posh area and it is very much sod everyone else, if I want to mow the lawn or have my kids out playing at 7am on their mini version of my financed Merc because I cba parenting them ill do it.

Ohh wow what a nightmare. Its bad enough listening to mini screaming banshees without adults doing it. Not all the kids do it here just the ones whose parent's are not bothered. The rest are great and taught to play respectfully.

I find it’s nice to give people the benefit of the doubt, I’m sure they are working hard to raise courteous, balanced, fun, kind humans!

"Bellowing" teenagers or "screaming" children??? It's just perspective and preference. Same thing though. Noise disturbance.

Same thing with the time.
I wrote 4.00 am, but imagine it's 11.30 at night. They could be keeping lots of families awake. 12.30, 1.30 , 5.00 am whatever. Those teenagers are still waking up your kids. But they are also just other people's kids having fun in their own garden.
And the original point was how many of these "ooh just let kids have fun" attitudes would persist in both examples???

It's fine when it's my little darlings, not so much when it's yours.

Jesus! Do they get up in the middle of the night?

No, it’s really funny 🤣

I wouldn’t be happy at being woken up at 6.30am on any morning. People are inconsiderate. It’s all
well and good saying to ‘lighten up’ but can you not spare a thought for those coming off night shifts, those who’ve been up all night with a sick child, those struggling with a million and one things that have prevented sleep. And are finally asleep. Only to be woken by screaming and shouting so early. I brought my DD home from hospital at 1am this morning. Thank goodness my neighbours aren’t like yours.

Just play some very loud Easter hymns tonight when they are trying to get their little darlings to sleep. There is a Green Hill etc. If they complain, tell them it's once a year.

It's just as easy to #makememories at a civilised hour, though.

Really really inconsiderate of them.8.30am earliest I'd say.

I think 6:30AM is too early, but why is it worse than a noisy adult/teenage party going on until midnight ?

People do seem to have double standards about sympathy for late night events but no sympathy for early morning ones.

Completely ridiculous. No consideration for those who don’t want to be up at 6.30am on Easter Sunday.

👍🏻

It’s performative “fun”. Bet the kids don’t even know the true meaning of Easter. It’s just “look at us” and an excuse to make a load of noise.
