To want my neighbours friends kids to fuck off

My neighbour has made a new friend. This friend brings her children over but they aren't allowed in my neighbours house (make of that what you will) so they always talk outside. The friends kids are horrible. Rude and poorly behaved. They constantly run around my drive, hide behind and touch my car. Even sometimes throwing gravel around. I've tried speaking to them, standing outside while they are there and telling the kids off myself but their mum just seems to think they should be allowed to do these things. It's a brand new car which I bought as a treat for getting a promotion, it's just so disrespectful.

I love my house and loved my neighbours but these kids are driving me mad Angry any idea what I can do?

Go outside everytime. Tell them off like you would you own children!

WombatStewForTea · 17/08/2019 18:23

How strange. How old are the kids? How often are they round? Do you have a good relationship with the neighbours to tell them it's annoyingly

WombatStewForTea · 17/08/2019 18:24

*annoying

WombatStewForTea · 17/08/2019 18:25

Actually sod that. What I'd do is invest in a sprinkler system for your front garden and turn it on when they come round Grin

Do you live next door to the woman who makes visitors sit on her drive and steals her neighbours plants?

Whywonttheyletmeusemyusername · 17/08/2019 18:31

Theres ur reason why ur ndn doesn't allow them in her house

Inferiorbeing · 17/08/2019 18:34

The kids are 4-8 maybe, I've told my neighbour and when she is out there she tells them off. But the kids have absolutely no respect and do it anyway.. also if my neighbour doesn't answer the door or isn't home they will wait for like half an hour just in case? They are round at least once a day at the moment Angry

One of those alarms that’s silent to adults but agony for kids?

CoraPirbright · 17/08/2019 18:36

Throw a bucket of water over them? But they might treat that as a sort of game.......I think talk to the neighbour as they clearly have the measure of these brats if they are not allowed in the house....

WombatStewForTea · 17/08/2019 18:39

Then I'd invest in hundreds of plant pots for the driveway that absolutely need watering at regular intervals Grin

Get one of those invisible fences that people get for their dogs.

YouTheCat · 17/08/2019 19:08

I bet your neighbour doesn't want them there either.

Poppi89 · 17/08/2019 19:31

Next time I would go and tell the kids to be careful and if they carry on and are purposely doing it then I would knock on the door and explain to the neighbour and parent that they need to watch them properley. I agree with the PP that I bet the neighbour doesn't want them there

reginafelangee · 17/08/2019 19:36

Go outside everytime. Tell them off like you would you own children!

This is exactly what I would do.

lifecouldbeadream · 17/08/2019 19:37

Oooh, I think MoreSlidingDoors might be onto something.... I think they might be called a mosquito?

MoobaaMoobaa · 17/08/2019 19:37

Sod telling them off if they are not listening. Go bang on your neighbours door get your neighbour and mother out to deal with Ever.Single.Time.

Stampyourfeet · 17/08/2019 19:44

What Moobaa says, get your ndn involved every single time or it will just go on. Sounds like she doesn’t want them there either

Inferiorbeing · 17/08/2019 19:51

So I spoke to my ndn and she admitted she doesn't want them there and they are a bad influence on her kids! She is trying to withdraw from the friendship and said when the kids are back at school she will have more excuses for them not to show up.
I just find it hard as I'm only early 20s and although I teach I deal with teenagers so small kids stress me out!
Thank you so much everyone for your advice though, fingers crossed they will go away soon..

Ah well if she’s trying to withdraw from the friendship she’ll probably appreciate it if you go and knock on the door every time they’re out there!

Madfrogs · 17/08/2019 19:55

I’d wash my car with a hose pipe every time they turn up.

Ops sorry did the spray get you? Don’t be on my private property!

Jamiefraserskilt · 17/08/2019 19:55

Get a sonic cat scarer and stick it at the front of your house. Kids can't stand the noise.

Troels · 17/08/2019 20:05

Oh yes the sonic cat scarer. Ds got one for his garden and he's 25 and can still hear it, it drives him mad. Dd left the room when dhe was setting it up it's awful if you can hear it.
