To be annoyed by football boots being used in garden...

Just wanting to know if i'm being reasonable for being annoyed about this, I put a loooot of work into ensuring that my grass is always neat and tidy (with the lines on the lawn etc).

However, with it being the summer holidays, and warmer weather, both DS's (12 and 15) have decided they wanna have a game of footy and a kick around the garden using their proper studded football boots (even though we have a park and field close by)

Would you be annoyed about this? I'm glad they're having a fun time but dreading looking at the state of the grass after they've finished!!

Tell them no! Come on, woman up!

Why aren't you sending them to said field then?
You are being unreasonable if you allow it and then complain

What they want and what will happen is two different things. You are the parent. They can go up to field.
