Neighbor.

First time poster here.
My neighbour over the road (there is some back story but it’s quite long, and not sure it’s relevant) doesn’t like me. That’s fine, as I don’t like her.
I have made an effort to be friendly though, but keep my distance.
My children have to walk past her house to go to the shop. If her and her children are out the front (more often then not), her kids will call mine names. Silly kids stuff. But she doesn’t tell them , she laughs.
Mine will ignore, but it’s geting to the point I can’t. I wouldn’t let my kids call others names infront of me. I thought this was basic parenting? I would never let my children be nasty because I don’t like the other child’s mum?
Aibu to smash her face in? Oj, but I have tried talking to her and she will say sorry, but it then carries on.
What’s the solution?

That's tricky actually...she sounds really immature.

Would her children say anything in front of you?

Seriously? That’s ridiculous! If they do it again, tell them very loudly that they’ve not to speak to your children like that again and that they’re bullies. I wouldn’t have that at all, and as for the mother, I’d be telling her you will be going to the school (assuming they go to the same school) to make sure it’s not happening there too. Poor kids! Shame her in front of the whole street! YANBU to want to smash her face in 😜 xx

They don’t do it in front of me. She knows I’d tell them, and her!
The problem is, she’ll try to say mine said something first. Even though I know they haven’t. But because I’m not there, I can’t actually argue this point.
My other neighbour is too scared I think to say anything. So it’s just me. I’m really angry about it. I’ve been over a few times, and she says yeah sorry, or completely lies to me. And it carries on.

Why do your kids have to cross the road at her house, can they not stay on your side until nearer the shop and then cross over. Confused.
