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?

Some kids in my area run around screaming for hours. The parents totally ignore them and just let them run all over the place from 5 years old including on roads. They sound like wailing banshees and now no other neighbour would actually offer help or even check on them if they were screaming for help if needed because they scream like that so much anyway.

As for 6.15 am its rude and anti social behaviour to let kids run around shouting at that time outside doing an easter egg hunt.

To you maybe. To others today is a very religious day, or it’s a day to have a rest/ day off from work.

For you ok. But for some, Sunday is a day of rest.

YANBU OP, but given you said they let their dogs bark all hours, they aren't the type to consider people like to lay in on their day off.

Difference is adults usually work so dont get chance to have lie ins much.

Children are unemployed freeloaders without a care in the world, so its not really a big deal if they get woken up on a Saturday night.

My guess is that they’ve set it up for when the kids wake and are excited to see what the Easter bunny brought. Lots of young children wake up early. Yes maybe they should have done it indoors but it’s so quick and is such a memory.
I left clues around the house this morning (more because our garden is small and just patio and grass so not exciting) and the kids loved working them out and running around the house. Mine don’t get up until 8 but our neighbours moan about hearing them on the stairs at any time (terrace) but I decided to forget the tiptoeing and let them enjoy finding their Easter egg!

Lots of entitled parents on this thread who’d clearly do exactly the same 🙄 I agree with you @AliceAbsolum - hugely inconsiderate

I used to have to colour code mine, e.g. DC1: gold, DC2: orange, DC3: blue.

Otherwise we’d have been in A&E due to the ensuing scrum.

Few MN complaining about other people threads are complete without someone screaming. It’s always screaming too not shouting or yelling.

Its meant to be a joke, made me smirk

Ffs I’d be so pissed off. I’m a terrible AND light sleeper so being woken up at that time when there’s a good possibility I’d have only been asleep for a few hours, would do my head in.

Jesus wept

Only if you’re very, very easily amused.

Afraid he had, as Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and found it empty when it was still dark - I'm back home having been to an Easter Vigil service lighting the new fire and the Paschal Candle at 6.30 this morning - guess we may have disturbed a few people as it was outside in the churchyard!

Its not.
Unfortunately some people are oblivious and some dont care.

Hopefully this family will only do it once in a year or once in a lifetime.

It’s not Santa Claus. Most people I know have an egg hunt in the afternoon, it’s not a wake up and see what’s outside event. Would the eggs even still be there after last nights storm?! And are you leaving food out all night for insects and wildlife to crawl all over before your kids eat it?

And even if that’s what happens, you can tell your kids they’re not going out until the clock says X.

I wouldn’t even mind it, but this attitude of there’s nothing the parents can do as it’s all in the Easter bunny (who the parents are lying about anyway) is just bad parenting.

That made me laugh 😆! Thank you!

But funny!

Based on a number of things I’ve seen recently, I think there are some people who just genuinely don’t care.

😂

Today is my only lay-in (work last week, clubs early next week etc) so I'd be fucking livid.

6.30am is insane and I can't believe so many people think it's fine? It's not. Its selfish and inconsiderate and I'd have told them to keep it down.

Never would my kids be allowed out at that time, let alone to do something that the parents have to know would disturb the neighbours.

Didn’t exist a few decades ago.

Are you sure? I’m 46 and the Easter Bunny was definitely a thing when I was a little kid. So 4 decades ago it existed.

it's called a joke, have you not seen the "it's what x would have wanted" joke format before?

It made me laugh!

Since when did Easter egg hunts start happening forst thing in the morning?
The Easter Bunny is not Father Christmas.

It was clearly a joke 🙄
