So we moved into this property (semi detached) in January of this year and our garden clearly had two fences, obviously one is shared with our neighbours. The road has sets of two houses attached etc.
We didn't hear nothing from our new neighbours until April as we came to find out they was in their home country and just returned. From the first day they arrived back, it all started. The children (boys, 12,10,7) literally start making noise at 11pm and don't stop until around 5am.
If I knew the walls were this thin I would have never even moved in but hey ho I thought I have a 3 year old and a new baby soon so at least they can't complain with a crying baby.
But like clockwork 11pm they start shouting, playing, fighting, blasting music, it's like clockwork. Me and Dh look at each other at 22:59 and then it all starts!
anyways, my baby was born last month and as the sun has come out I've been spending a lot of time in garden with my toddler and baby. I noticed that the shared fence is literally lower! like they've got rid of some slats.. the dad comes out while I'm there and , says "Oh my sons love to look over and speak to other children" I replied with "I don't think you should have took it off.. I like my privacy and my daughter is quite a lot younger than your sons so I don't think they will be chatting a lot" he then made out he couldn't understand me, nodded and walked off. (English isn't my first language either but I'm fluent and have a semi London accent)
5 mins later the sons were out climbing up the fence trying to talk to dd who didn't want to, said hi and carried on playing.
When my inlaws came round later that evening, they was just stood looking over at us, so my MIL stupidly out of kindness decided to invite them over as my nephews who are around the same age was here. I was really annoyed but thought oh well. They literally climbed over the fence and played.
Every single day since then, they've tried just climbing over and I've repeatedly told them not to, they keep telling me their garden is boring! (It's gorgeous but the parents clearly made it as not a child friendly garden so there is no room for them to run around because they've added a pond etc)
Also for the past 4 days, they've been telling delivery men to leave their post and parcels at my house, which I wouldn't mind but the parcels are like furniture, massive tall boxes and there was 10 at one point, all in my living room. I told the Yodel man, I'm not accepting it but he was on the phone to neighbour at the time and the neighbour was like "Please" So I felt pressured.
Our houses are 2 up 2 down and small, and my living room for days has been cramped with their items!
and it finally came to a head today when I went out in the back garden and noticed the fence down the bottom of the garden was different.. I went to look and they've removed the fence completely bar leaving 3 wooden slats. The man was in his flower shed and I asked him "What on earth are you doing" and he said "So our children can play with each other with easy access" I lost it completely and told him to fix the fence properly.
I have no clue what on earth to do, my husband keeps telling me to just tell the kids repeatedly to leave us alone, and he will have a word when he catches them (he does shift work)
What would you do?
