um, NO THANKS. Please never do this again, I am NOT GRATEFUL.

I work overnights so don’t appreciate OP’s husband mowing the lawn at the crack of dawn. But I live in a community, and it’s nit all about me.


+1 I have very young kids so they would be asleep well before that and one has a nap that would probably be impacted too. But that only makes me more in favor of community activities where families and neighbors come together. It's a special thing and I know we will soon benefit too.

I would be annoyed but I also would give them a pass. it seems like your neighbor does all the efforts to pull 2 block parties for the whole neighborhood every year. Do they also are the ones paying the bills for everything like rental, decor, food/drinks etc? Do they setup right in a common area for neighborhood or right in front of their house yards?

OP,

All the night owls have posted on your thread.
Most of the people I know would NOT be happy with a loud evening party in their vicinity, regardless of whether they have young children. In the neighborhoods that my friends and I live in (various ones in close-in Montgomery County), the block parties don't last until that late, because we're not uncultured hicks, and we respect noise ordinances.

Feel free to call the police.


I’m a night owl. I like to sleep in. If there was an event twice per year on my block that woke me up early, I’d let it go. It’s not about morning or night people.



This. It's freaking twice a year. And ends by 11:30, not 1am!

My neighbors are obnoxious and are loud all the time under our bedroom windows. Its rude. But, this is twice a year, not a dailiy thing.

It'd be annoying because I like quiet after a certain hour, but a twice a year community event is something I would not have wasted my time explaining on DCUM.

This would annoy me. All the people who like to get drunk and are rude think this is fine. Big surprise.

PP again. The world is full of inconsiderate people, which is why the noise ordinances exist.

OP, I am with you but also surprised bounce-house aged kids are out this late. 10 seems reasonable, and anything beyond that is too much of a good thing. People want sleep on the weekends.

Vent away and know I am with you! But also with others in that neighborhood relationships are precarious and better not to rock the boat.

That’s absolutely ridiculous.


Interesting that you think that's ridiculous. I was raised the same way.


LOL in the summer heat people are going to mow in the morning or evening to avoid scorching sunlight.

I would never be this rude. Some of you have absolutely no awareness, consideration or manners.
