I live on a private road which is owned, maintained, insured etc by the residents. There are a handful of families living here and as most of us have relatively small gardens, we’ve agreed between us to take turns using the road so the DCs can play on bikes and scooters. Basically only one family will be out at once as the road’s quite narrow and it would be tricky keeping the DCs apart.
This afternoon my DCs wanted to ride their bikes so I went to check if the street was clear and 3 kids that don’t live here were riding their bikes up and down. We played in the garden for a bit but 25 minutes later the same kids were still in the street, now playing football. I asked if they could go back to their own street / house as we wanted to play out. They did go but 5 minutes later their DF confronted me saying it was unfair as their street is too busy for them to play and ‘it’s only a street’. I did point out that it’s a private road and that I had actually left them for 25 minutes which I didn’t need to. He walked off saying I wasn’t to tell his DCs where they could play and that he’d be letting them play here whenever they wanted. Twat!
