I like my neighbours, they are nice, friendly and helpful (but a bit nosy).
Their children are polite enough, but they lie, act like they think they are better than other kids, constantly batter their ball on the fence when I've asked them not to, are a bit grabby and can generally be quite nasty to other kids in the street. My two are older (14 and 13), Neighbours kids range from 2-12.
Anyway, we have been neighbours for about 8 years and get along fine, we have passed on loads of my kids stuff to them over the years, everything from clothes & toys to larger things such as bikes and climbing frames. Neighbours are very grateful.
Anyway, some years back they bought a trampoline for one of the DCs birthdays. It was made very clear (by the children) that my children weren't welcome to over to have a go, they were told they were too big etc even though they were only about 9 or 10 at the time. I am not sure how much of this my neighbour knows, my children (now teens) are very quiet and would never ask the adult if they could come over, they would wait to be asked which they never were. That christmas, I used some Tesco points and their Christmas money from my mum to buy one for our garden.
Next door managed to break theirs and haven't had one for a couple of years, my two don't use ours anymore. Veiled hints have been dropped by next door about them maybe getting a new one, she is well aware that ours doesn't get used. My generous spirit feels I should pass it on, but I don't want to as I don't like the children - then I feel quite mean. :(
