To not let children throw balls in the house?

[electricblue2017]

Partner let's his child do it (i.e. throws tennis balls against lounge walls and hit soft balls with rackets against walls). I don't let my DS do it. Tonight he told his child they couldn't do it because I didn't like I (rather than 'we'). He says I am restricting their development. AIBU to expect this sort of stuff to be done outside?

We've had a couple of lights broken from ds throwing balls around.

He can do it outside and get fresh air too.

Yanbu at all. Balls, any ride ons and skipping ropes are outdoor toys in my house.

You're teaching them to respect property which is part of their development. Balls outside only. Balloons inside.

We are 4 windows out due to balls since the start of the 6 weeks. .
Tell dh to take them to the park.
Lazy fook. .

YANBU I don't let mine do this. It just ends up in things getting damaged or broken. Don't the walls get marked if they throw balls against them?
Unfortunately if he doesn't take a united stance and says YOU won't let them do it then you may become the villian :(

I think that is the bit I feel let down with the most as we are supposed to present a united front. He didn't help it by saying it was me who had the issue with it and he didn't agree with it in front of the kids. I appreciate we are a fairly new family and learning ground rules but came across as weak.

Unless they have a long term condition which means they can't go outside (possible, but those with them tend not to be well enough to throw balls around) then you are definitely not being unreasonable. DD isn't allowed to throw balls inside, and when adult guests started (yes, really) I told them not in my house. Three times, but they listened eventually. And our lights/ornaments are still intact.

I let my dd throw small light balls and hit with a bat.
Or use a skipping rope.
She is constantly moving and has Sen so though she's nearly 9 I can't let her out to play. TBH I don't have many breakables.

YANBU.

I have had to ban balls from inside, even small soft ones as DS will run around playing football with them, then it progresses onto throwing them in the front room, which they've been told is an absolute no but as soon as I say "only in the hallway", its ends up elsewhere again so total ban here.

He thinks you're too harsh in them, right up until someone breaks his tv.

Arrrrrgh! A&E visit yesterday due to indoor football! YANBU
