Boys playing in garden of terraced house

[whattheactualfuckery]

Where do we all stand with teenage kids playing in the garden? Especially when it's terraced houses.
My boys are sport mad, they play in football, basketball and cricket teams in and out of school.
At least half an hour but no more than an hour a day they're in the back garden kicking, throwing or bouncing a ball. There's no excess shouting.
Is this ok? They do go to the park, team practice etc but just like a muck about in their own garden.
I feel this is acceptable and wholesome behaviour, but a neighbour doesn't.

Like I said they do go to the park, but they want to have a knock about at home too.
I'm in a terrace of 5 houses with 10 children under 16. Not one of them or their families thinking about it spend regular time in the gardens.

My favourite neighbour noise complaint concerned a retired couple who complained about the noise from the playground of the primary school situated opposite their house.........err, why did you choose that house then?

We had similar - we live in a tiny rural farming village. It includes a dairy farm that supplies milk to the Long Clawson dairy. The cows are ones that get to graze outside, and sometimes you do hear the sound of cows, you definitely see cows, quite often smell cows. Sometimes the road is full of cows being moved.
All part and parcel of living in a farming community. Along with the pheasant shoots and the lambing etc etc.

A couple bought a house opposite the dairy farm and then proceeded to complain to the council time and time again that they can hear, see and smell cows and that the farmer "makes no effort to keep them quiet or prevent the smell, causing them great distress".

When they applied for an extension the village wiped the floor with them. They moved!

I have 2 boys, late teens now. I had similar, they loved being outside. Usually for an hr or so a day and never after 6pm. Just playing football , trampoline etc or in the paddling pool on a hot day. No damage, minimal noise. It was healthy and good for them. Neighbours did nothing but make us feel like outcasts. We bought a hse in a cul de sac specifically so that the boys could ride their scooters safely where I could watch them. Neighbours suggested my boys play at the top of the road , I refused as through traffic and I would have to be with them the whole time. I pointed out that we bought that hse for its safe outside spaces so my boys could play outside. Some people think they own the road. I used to worry all the time and I regret worrying so much now.

Let your kids be kids, they are entitled to play in their own garden. Ignore the neighbour and if she gives you any more grief ,recommend a good estate agent to her so she can move someone more peaceful/remote/isolated/different hemisphere.

Next doors children are currently shrieking around the garden (they appear to have fallen out over the slide). It is just a noise of nice weather.

DC2 will start their violin practice shortly and then the neighbourhood will have something to cry about.

Goodness, can you please move into our block of flats please??? We have the upstairs neighbour from hell here. Any noise, outdoors or indoors, anytime - even during the day - has been greeted with shouting and swearing and threats. We rarely use our own garden (communal) because of it - we go instead to local parks. Very frustrating.

I would have no problem with neighbourhood children playing in the gardens nearby. We have a nursery nearby and can hear the children playing outside, and I enjoy hearing them having fun.
