Neighbour issue - kids and fences!

[kp78]

Neighbour installed a 6 foot fence recently. Suits me I don't really like him and it looks nice!

Trouble is he is now allowing his daughter to climb a ladder and shout to her friend in the garden next door to me. Today for the umpteenth time I've asked them both to get down. Today both were straddling the fence on either side of my garden and I have a dog (he's good as gold but still worry). I'm not only bothered about privacy but them getting hurt or bitten.

Partner asked her to get down earlier as he said he wanted privacy and now the neighbour is mouthing off behind the fence that she should get back up as there's nothing to be scared of and he put the ladder there for her to speak to neighbour.

Neither of us were nasty but seriously why can I not have any privacy or why should I worry about either child calling into my garden? AIBU asking them to get down?

There's been an atmosphere brewing with neighbour for a while and I can't bear it anymore!

Oh - and do something on both sides of your garden, as it will discourage both neighbour's children from standing/straddling the fence if they can't see anything.

He's kicked off to make sure you never dare to tell 'em to get off the fence.

I know It's hard but ignore the swearing. Keep a log of it. But don't do anything.

Just keep telling them to get off the fence

And play polka polka polka at top volume from your side of the fence. By all means, turn on the CD, put it on repeat LOUD

And you scamper for the day so it doesn't turn you crazy lol

You're not sensitive! It sounds like bullying
Id hang washing up straight across just to piss him off ( i really would)

I don't think I'd want to sit in my garden of a weekend staring at a load of washing unless I absolutely had to. I'd second what others have said and put your ladder up nearby, pretend to be 'pruning' some plants and stare into his garden, see how he likes having his privacy invaded!

We had an awful kid used to stand at our fence just staring in. Hosed him a few times until he stopped!! Obviously i'apologised' every time - his df came along and I explained I was busy and he was there spying in!!

Use my late wicked grandmothers example. Big bags of manure in the sunshine are your friend!

My parents had this and planted some trees right up against the boundary. Downside is that the problem won't be solved this year unless you pony up for some more mature trees.
