Because thats where the hose is kept, and it makes a mess indoors.

We have one near us that screams in the garden all the time. I don't really mind - one of mine used to scream a lot and there really is nothing to be done but grit your teeth and wait for them to grow out of it. I just wish that the parents wouldn't yell back at her at full volume - it's really not helping.

This abhorrent practice doesn’t happen in Somerset. We still have lockable coal sheds.
And when they are older: Guss and crooks.

It's been a while since ours fully tested her lung capacity but I always found that the noise of your own sprog was far more disturbing than that of a stranger's.

I've just had my dinner in the garden. Peace and quiet while the three toddler grandkids inside scream, throw tantrums or complain that he/she got something that he/she didn't.

Are you sure you don't have the same neighbour as me? Joking apart, a neighbour who sort of obliquely backs onto us have a couple of girls aged about 4 or so. The volume level is quite incredible and they can keep it up for 8 hours a day. It's not crying, it's just playing, which is fine, but after several hours of it with no volume modulation it's a bit much.

I must be the luckiest dad/grandad in town, All around me I hear kids whining and screaming but all my grandkids have been awesome, even my son's step who at 2 years old when he came into our family deeply concerned us with his behaviour but a bit of tenacity and hard work...and lots of play and love, that concerning behaviour has slowly changed . Yes he's a handful, yes he's OTT sometimes but he's 4...but tantrums are long gone.
All our grandkids have given immense pleasure and virtually no bad behaviour.
The effort you put into your kids pays back long after they've grown up, it hopefully passes into the next generation.
