Dear Responsible Parent in Barry Road/Goodrich road area.

[2degreesfrommadness]

Dear Parent/carer It is extremely unneighbourly to allow your children to go out into the garden and shout and scream at 07.30 in the morning. Please consider your neighbours!

Behave, it's half term and very mild weather, may i suggest ear plugs.

I'm already well in the office by 07:30 on a weekday morning :(

What?!? what time do you wake up, shower and have breakfast.

[Mark]

Dear neighbour, we only live next door, you know where we live so please come and let us know as we don't read the forum and if we don't know that it's an issue for you then it'll only get worse.

(It's not us by the way, our children are locked in a soundproof room until they're old enough to play outside quietly) #responsibleparentsANDneighbours

I really sympathise, I've had similar for years, not just at half term, from a family in a nearby road (not mine).

Including at crack of dawn on Sunday mornings, and on some occasions joined by an adult also.

My heart used to sink every day when they came home from school. I feel really sorry for people whose houses are closer than mine and who work at home or are otherwise at home.

It's improved of late, maybe one or some of the immediate neighbours complained, or else the children are past the shouting and screaming stage (please God).

Of course young children scream and shout, it's part of being a young child. It's also kind of their parents and carers to teach them not to do it at length outside on a regular basis in a built up area where there are other residents.

The odd occasion, fine. Unless it's 7.30 am, in which case not fine.

7.30 am is deathly quiet in my house during half term. In fact, I think they're still asleep, so you're defo not talking about me.

I'm with Mark though - if it happens all the time, just have a little chat. I'm also of the view that kids are kids and it's actually lovely to hear them playing.

They all wait* at the bus stop outside my flat every schoolday. It's quiet this week.

* They don't wait they shout and scream and fight :)

[2degreesfrommadness]

If it had been happy playing noises then there would be no objections but being woken up at 7.30 to screaming, shouting and cussing is objectionable. If it had been an immediate neighbour would have had a word but this was not in immediate vicinity, hence the objection to the travelled noise!

Get over yourself and get a job

[Take Note]

I'm with you and Sue. My old next door neighbour had 3 boys and used to shunt them into the garden at 7ish both Saturday and Sundays when most people are off work, and wouldn't mind a little lie-in. (She didn't go out to work). She obviously wanted a bit of peace and quiet herself but it is really obnoxious at that hour. It is possible to play fairly quietly in a huge garden. A bit of live and and let live, i.e being aware of others wouldn't go a miss.

Mind you the same person had a tree surgeon start work in her back garden with his chainsaw at the same time one Saturday, so she clearly didn't give a monkeys :)

And you know the OP hasn't got a job how?

What a charming second post. I can see you will be a welcome contributor to the forum.

[PeckhamRose]

I find the title of the post confusing.

Ollie Loud On :)

Sounds a bit like "We're staying/leaving get over it and prepare to be indicted for high treason due to messing up the country/obstructing the will of the people"

[edcam]

The OP is quite right. That's unacceptable.

[DovertheRoad]

0730 and I'm also at my desk. By about 9am when I pop out for breakfast I contra-flow the pinched, harried faces of the 08.37 commute crowd scuttling in and huffing about their train being crowded and late. Kids at that time are fine except perhaps Sunday mornings when it's a bit inconsiderate. Far worse is the angle grinder, born from the loft/kitchen extension and paid for by said wage slave job.

[Take Note]

Charming, Ollieloudon. Some people work from home, work nights, or are retired - should they "get over themselves", too?
