do not open my gate to put your kids in there because you can't be arsed to keep an eye on them.

Just had some stupid bitch parent do this, she opened my gate and urged her brat child to play in my garden.

My garden has no toys or play equipment, but plants, solar lights and a few pretty windchimes and ornaments as my dd is in a wheelchair and enjoys being out there, I did approach the mum and got "he's only a baby" he was about 2ish and had managed to pull out some ornaments which had a spike attached, when I suggested she use reins she stil kept on harping on about her ds only being a baby, so I asked her if she would like it if I got my kids to come and tear around her garden.

If her child or anyone elses got injured in my garden (as this happens a lot) I bet the parent would be kicking off about it.

Bearing in mind that my garden has a gate which is always closed, am I being unreasonable in wanting my garden kept for me and my family, not every kid whose parent is at the bus stop and they feel it is an option instead of looking after them themselves

Sorry rant over

you could add a sign claiming that you are fertilising your garden with urea

Don't! By the sound of it these fuckwits would start eating it :o

I'm sorry, I would open the door and tell them to 'fuck the fuck off'! Then I would get a beware of the dog sign. Another saying do not open the gate as well. Then I would let the dog out into the garden at bus time. If your rottie is in your property and cant escape, you are not doing anything wrong.

OP, have you tried talking to the coucil and/or bus company?

It's possibly very unlikely, but maybe they could move the stop to a less disruptive (but still convenient for passengers) location.

Has to be worth a try, I reckon.

The council don't give a toss, when I moved in I enquired about a side gate and a front gate and was told tough, luckily I had a lovely neighbour who made me one.

I really can't see the bus company/council moving the bus stop because of one person complaining TBH
