I got into an argument with one of them on bonfire night as she put up a whole load of stories about how fireworks should only be allowed on 5th November and at no other time. Her reason being they were upsetting her newborn
While I get that fireworks late at night for weeks on end is grim and annoying, I put it to her that some of us work shifts so sometimes need to celebrate things on other dates so maybe a complete ban was a bit too far. Maybe a few days around the date would be better.
She replied by saying that I needed to get friend or relatives to take my children to a display if I was at work and that wasn’t her problem. Her baby was her priority
Nice and inclusive, thanks! And yes I’ll see which friend wants to take 3 children aged 5 and under to a fireworks display. I’m sure we’d have lots of volunteers - not!!!
