Have kids screaming on trampoline fuxked with your peace?
I live in a pretty nice Suburb in Northern CA, and just recently everyone apparently took advantage of a Costco sale on trampolines for their brats. When I go outside to do anything, I hear a thousand kids screaming throughout the neighborhood while bouncing on their trampolines, all the while the neighborhood dogs that were once silent are now barking in unison at all the noise. Anyone else have this trampoline explosion make you want to re-locate to a cabin in the woods?

Here's it's dirt bikes and ATVs with no mufflers and neighbors shooting guns in their yards. All of which is legal in this free-for-all state. Patron State of Making Noise.

I'm thirty one, and I have kids, dogs, and a life (debatable), but it's not my job to ruin everyone's day by making them ruin the neighborhood. It's called being an adult, and I for one take very seriously my job as a parent, as the one who raises the children. They can run around and make noise in a park, home yard is not the place, since people pay a lot to live here and have their peace.
the husband is a mute, since he's engineer, so he's not listed as a noise maker. |

I'm not American, so I tend to use my brain, and force the same thing to the kids. Just go to the yard of yours, and read this out loud, and you will be hated, but there will be peace.
I'm not saying that kids should not be heard, I'm saying that making sure no one gets to enjoy their home is not right, and parents should really sometimes think. There contraptions are dangerous, and I would not put something like that to my yard, since I'm not going to be there always supervising the situation, so a park is more suited for these. |

I see a lot of kids in my job, and it seems like 1 out of 3 that comes to my office with a cast/brace/wrap on was injured from a trampoline. The other 2/3 were from gymnastics.

Yeah, my friend is a er doc, and he said nicely, that he will move from our city, if I get one of those to home. Apparently he has had enough fixing only me, the kids also would just kill the fun from his life. |

Do you think you can get a spot on Oprah ( or whatever the popular equivalent is these days) and tell the world that their kids will die if they jump on a trampoline in a popular suburb? Seriously, I need some peace. I beg of you.
