aliceBB Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 If you live in an area with lots of families and can't stand it then move house. Stop torturing yourself. Again, you have fallen into the trap of reading what you want to read and ignoring what is actually written. First, I do indeed live in an area with lots of families. It's called a community. Second, I am fortunate in that the families I live amongst are civilised enough not to allow their children to run riot/scream endlessly/make other people miserable. Others (it seems) are not so lucky. Unlike you, I do not think they should not have to move house to find some peace; they have done nothing wrong. Third, I'm not 'torturing' myself about anything. I am merely conducting a discussion about how annoying (or not) other people find, or would find, the screaming - from dawn to dusk - of their neighbours' children. If you don't think it's interesting or important, don't bother contributing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whoopie Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 I have kids who own a trampoline. They jump and play on it, but if I hear them screaming I tell them to keep the noise down. We have to have consideration for our neighbours because other people want to enjoy good weather too and sit relax in their gardens without having to tolerate the noise.

You are restoring my faith in human nature. ---------- Post added 24-07-2014 at 21:53 ---------- It doesn't bother me.

Se7enhills Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 With respect, that's a gormless suggestion. People should not have to relocate to a remote farm in order to avoid the screaming of their neighbours' children. It would be much more appropriate for parents to be considerate towards the other members of their community, don't you think? Not really a bad suggestion at all.Ive lived in the middle of nohere and one thing you do miss is the sort of noises you refer to - its like "people" doing people things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nekatom Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Mmm interesting. We live side of a lovely polish family. 2 little toddler girls and lad about 8 play on trampoline regular. 10-15 minutes fine but then it really becomes annoying. Never felt like this before end up having to go indoors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Doing people things' as you so vaguely put it, is surely only OK if it doesn't restrict the reasonable freedom of others to enjoy their lives. ---------- Post added 25-07-2014 at 06:29 ---------- Mmm interesting.
