Kids Playing out till 11:30pm

Kids these days. Having fun on their summer holidays. Something has to be done about this.

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....

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

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.

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.

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:
