To want to tell the noisy kids next door to shut up?!

My next door neighbours grandchildren have been in her garden every single day for weeks, they even let themselves in when she's out which they've done today. I don't usually mind the sound of children playing, what I do mind however is endless screaming and having a football constantly kicked at my fence!

It's driving me insane and my dog is going loopy at the constant sounds of the football, he barks at it and now the kids have taken to aggravating him as well. I've now had to bring him in and shut the door which I shouldn't have to do on a boiling hot day!

I don't think this is normal playing noise, the little girl doesn't know the meaning of the world "no" and has the most horrific tantrums in which she screeches for up to half an hour at a time. The boy kicks the football at my fence constantly. I wouldn't mind but there is a huge park at the end of our road with a swings etc and a proper football pitch. Most of the other kids play there, why can't they? They don't even live here!

Before I get attacked and get accused of being anti children, my neighbours the other side have children and whilst they play out in the garden they don't make a noise like this!

I just want to sit in my garden in peace on a lovely day, without the constant bang, bang bang of a football and screaming. AIBU?

It's not the same thing Vintagejazz because these kids can (presumably) go back home to Mum at any time.

No-one knows the age of the kids here either as the OP was guessing.

Rather than call the police or ss, if the OP is concerned I think she should start by chatting with the grandmother if she can.
