I live in the middle of 2 houses that have 5 year olds who are friends and are always outside playing together - no problem with that as my dd now nearly 13 and her friend from a few doors down were the same at that age. However the last few days they have taken to running across my front grass when playing and shouting at each other right outside my living room window. The houses have front gardens we are not directly on the pavement. I had to go out and ask them not to play there this morning as they were so loud! Next thing the mum of one of them tells me the children have noticed we have a pool in our garden and can the boys play in it later! She was most put out when I said no and told me her child is going to be really upset as they really want to go in it.
