to wish that the 6 kids who live either side of me would stop constantly yelling over my fence to my kids?

[superv1xen]

there are 3 dc in each house either side of me, and since the weather has got nicer and they are all outside all the time, all they bloody do is yell over the fence at my kids they mainly just keep shouting my DC names constantly even if they have gone in. all the dc (including mine) are between about 2 and 8.

and if i am in the garden i am constantly bombarded with inane questions and comments. know they are only kids but by god its annoying. if my kids are shouting too much i tell them to pipe down! and if they keep chattering to my neighbours (ie the parents) i tell them not to stop mithering. if only the neighbours would do the same to their own dc.

sorry, last sentence should read, i tell them to stop mithering.

Put up a 6ft fence all around your garden that should stop it.

or buy a water gun and teach your kids how to fire it in the neighbours kids faces

haha one of the neighbours down the road has done that fabby :o i would but its HA and don't think i'd be allowed. plus i do get on with the parents and wouldn't want them to think i was being funny.

i like ssd 's idea....

your children are a bit noisy at times, you say? Good. what you do is the next time you see the neighbours, you apologise to them.

"I'm sorry my kids have been shouting over your fence. I've told them to stop it because I know it must be annoying. If they keep trying to shout over to you again, please let me know and I'll tell them to stop. I would not like to think you weren't getting peace and quiet in your own garden. "

Or is that too obvious?

oh, and if they say it's ok, say "That's very kind of you, but I think it's important that they don't. I know I wouldn't like it done to me."

/\ ooh good one Hecate, just passive aggressive enough.

Yes. I am the queen of passive aggressive.

I have a crown.

It's not a very big one or a very ornate one, but that's ok, I don't mind. I am quite happy to have something simple. I don't want anyone to feel they have to go to any trouble.

Ooh Hecate thats fantastic, blatently obvious you're making a point but they cant actually accuse you of anything out of order as you are just being a considerate neighbour, I love it!!!
