Kids Playing out till 11:30pm

peewee_44

Ok I know the kids are now on there Summer Holidays but I think playing out till 11:30 is just a joke.
I'll be honest I don't have to get up for work in the morning hense me posting at this time but I know all my neighbours are up early to be in work. My other neighbour and myself have toddlers that are in bed early enough. Not that I expect the kid to stop playing that early, its not their fault I have a child. But come 11:30pm shouting, screaming and kicking a ball against a steel ESB is just ignorant and poor parenting. Why can't people respect the people around them. I am almost praying for a wet Summer.

If you drive around in a white van and get people to share a warning on facebook about a larry murphy sighting in the area they might not be out as much.

Irresponsible parenting is what it is.

ok, my neighbours kids are still up. running round the house, screaming, shouting, up and down the stairs (my room is next to what must be theirs, so i can hear every move). I cant sleep, these kids have been out for ages....

I wouldn't mind if they were playing out all day (well I would lol) but there was nothing till 9:00pm then noise, I know I sound like a grump but Im not I know kids should be playing out and I agree kids don't play out nearly enough now but I think there is a time you have to start thinking of the people around you. Even if it was only sat night and you know 99% of people had the next day off

Is it every night or what? If it's only a once-off then I don't see what the problem is tbh...

Quit being a MR Wilson OP

peewee_44

No if it was once I would just grin and bare it but this is every night even before they finished for the summer. I know I sound like it but I'm not an utter grump I was a kid playing out at summer once and I don't even mind or care about them playing out till 11:30 just don't kick a ball up against a steal door and stop screaming and yelling what happened to a good old game of Jacks lol

Personally, I would beat them.

Oh no! Here comes grumpy old Mister PeeWee out with the scissors to puncture the kids plastic football!

I used to live on a cul-de-sac where some of the most mannerly, helpful, well behaved and courteous kids you could ever hope to meet were bullied and terrorised by one old witch who'd call the guards if she so much as heard a tennis ball bounce on the road outside her house. Meanwhile her own grandkids were some of the most unruly poisonous brats you could ever see. People even moved house because of them.

OP, I beg you! Don't become that old witch! The rest of the neighbours still laugh openly about her death.

11:30pm? Nothing wrong with that really. Let the kids have the fun. We all played outside till late during the summer holidays

I don't mind them playing out till 11:30 as long as they keep the noise down and understand there are people around them that have early mornings and kiddies trying to sleep. I have seen them out till 11:30 on there scooters bikes etc and that doesn't bother me, not that I will ever let my child out that late but they are not the only ones in the estate. If they didn't make too much noise I wouldn't care if they were up all night.....

Ah to hell with it I will just change my name to victor Meldrew lol

Oh no they might make me grumpy but I would never hurt them nor would I stand back and see them hurt I would however pucture their ball

So they're out playing football and enjoying their Summer holidays ?
They're not drinking, vandalising or taking drugs or doing anything anti-social ....yet you still complain.

I was one of them kids, out till 11 or 12 on my Summer holidays playing football. Some of the best years of my life they were,fond memories.
I would rather see them out playing than stuck inside on a computer.

You unfortunately OP are what we referred to as a 'vigi'...although you haven't done anything to warrant that title yet.

You could always go out and ask politely, tell them you have a kid in bed and could they move it down the road please. That you don't mind them playing during the day...tell them to go mad for it during the day, you don't care, but once it goes past 10.30 if they could take it elsewhere.

They might be more understanding than what you'd believe.

They don't know they're annoying everyone if people don't speak up, and a person screaming out a window is MUCH less effective than an adult coming out in the pyjamas and asking politely to keep it down.

Speaking from experience as I was one of those teenagers.

A most misunderstood man. He just really hated Manchester United.

I stay up way past my bed time too

and there's no ones cans stop me!

Is it not the law that between the hours of 23.00 and 07.00.people should keep noise down and not disturb the peace.Parents should be a bit more responsible and consider other people and not just themselves and their kids.

oldyouth

11.30 is too late. I would be more concerned about my child's safety out at that hour. Also, have many of these parents gone to bed and left their kids to their own devices?.

Not right in my opinion

Tokyo

Yep, rather than being outside with their friends getting exercise and fresh air, they should be indoors glued to the TV, x-box or facebook. That way we'd have nothing to complain about in AH..... :pac:
