'Sad world' - Bristol defends kids playing in garden at 8.30am after fierce debate erupted

Plenty of reaction has followed a mum's musings as to whether 8.30am at the weekend is too early to let her toddler play outside in the garden.

The mum sparked a variety of responses when she wrote on mumsnet about whether she should let her toddler run round the garden at 8.30am on the weekend, the Mirror reports. In the post from Theresamagicalplace, she wondered if she was "accidentally the neighbour from hell" and said her partner thought it was too early. There was a varied response when she asked on the popular parenting forum, am I being unreasonable?

The post reads in full: "The tiny terrorist is on one this morning and I said to my partner it's fine we can get him out in garden in 20 mins or so to burn off the excess energy. He looked at me like I had two heads and told me anything before 10 or 10.30 on a weekend was unacceptable and would make us those neighbours.
