Was DH unreasonable to ask the neighbour's kids

[differenttoyou]

to go inside at 9.40 this morning. There were 3 of them and they'd been outside on their trampoline (which buts right up to the fence) since 8.00 am singing at the top of their voices. Eventually we couldn't take it any longer as they started to sing a song from Frozen and they ramped up the volume until they were virtually screaming. DH called over the fence and asked them to go and sing inside.

But that's bollocks isn't it Lovelyboots.

Given that my dd1 has never been in trouble once.

So much for no personal.digs about my dc.

Actually you win Mayhem.

All of your posts have been very intelligent and reasoned. Your attitude towards other posters has been nothing but polite, civilised and mature. Your views have been widely agreed with by the majority of other posters on this thread and you generally come across as a considerate, reasonable, calm and collected neighbour that anyone would be happy to live next door to.

Does that fit in with your version of reality?

Xpost Iam. And you're right.

I'm a 60's child

Actually poor SD was only 18 on the when her mum cheated on her Dad with another man.

Thus breaking up the family.

He got custody when dd was 2.

We met when she was just 3.

I didn't meet her until she was 4 and dh didn't want to bring women in and out of her life.

Luckiky, We have been together for 15 years, since I was 18. So she has only known one SM.

How about you get your facts right?

*18 months

Mayhem it's very early days and I'd be worried about a 6 year old getting in trouble at school. It's not a major accomplishment.

I have a 12 year old who has never been in trouble, despite my persistent reliance on my neighbors to parent.

Bullying pack mentality is rife on this thread.

Well thank god for your neighbours Lovelyboots, let's hope they never move.

See? This is why you're catching so much grief.

Maybe the problem is that some of you are too old to run around the garden with your young dc and that's why you can't look after them properly?

Oh lovely Mayhem just keep those insults coming.

Pack mentality - I'd see it rather, a majority sensible voice versus weird bizarre attitude.

Weird attitude of not shouting at children over fences?

Oh, Mayhem.

Seriously Mayhem hitting out wildly at anyone and everyone who disagrees with you just makes you look like an angry child. Would you not admit that you've been rude and offensive and apologise?

Perhaps you should just name change.

and back round to the beginning of the argument.

If he shouted over the fence then you are right. That is BU. He "called" over the fence. That is NBU.

So I've had my fair share of kids (of all ages) in my various gardens over the years.

Never once has anyone shouted at them over a fence.

Even when we have been having wildly loud water fights etc.

Maybe it's because your older that you crave the silence. Is your house like a libary? Do your children have to walk on eggshells scared of making a noise?

Soap is still readily available in shops you know or is your head so far up your 33 year old arse - having not done too much since you were 18 except 'kids' that you might not know this. The arse is very physically close to the cunt - an ancient word with Sumerian roots.

There's some facts for you. Now I need to listen to my own advice and get on with some actual work.

Still pleased that it's turned out well for the OP.

I really must go and get some jobs done - If I can reach my zimmer frame.

This argument is strangely addictive though.

I didn't have my first dd1 till I was 27 so not really 'just kids' recharged.

I have a very nice life.

With many more years left hopefully .. how is that pension looking?

Well I'm off down the post office to collect my pension. And if any pesky kids so much as whisper from their gardens I will belt them with my walking stick.
