we have a long garden with 3 sets of neighbours, 2 out of 3 we get on well with !We have an 11 year old & an 18 year old so only the 11 year old “plays” in the garden these days but we have 2 lovely nephews who come over for family get together once or twice a month.neighbour at the end of our garden off to the side when we had the pool out 2 years ago(a framed 10ft pool as we have cats who have punctured 3 blow up ones!)Shouted at my mum who was caring for my child & 2 nephews about the noise they were making & that he’s fed up listening to them out in the pool till past 10 at night screaming & hollering (never been in it past 7.30 ever as bedtime is at 8!!)she was shocked & upset but as not her garden she left it,he later apologised to my husband about it but not to my mum. Cut 2 today,same nephews over,I was preparing something in the kitchen but could hear him shouting,he’d climbed up over top of fence & was shouting at my nephews.he made the younger one cry.I stormed out & saw red basically,I shouted at him back & did throw a few f bombs but didn’t swear at him just used the f in my shouting but I just shouted at him how f ing dare you shout at children, he carried on shouting back so I said it again,he threatened he would call the police as I swore!!(Also fyi he was gardening yesterday & had bleedin rod Stewart on full blast for 4 hours & I didn’t say anything “do you think I’m sexy?” Um no rod I don’t!! He then said(and this is my AIBU thank you if you’ve been patient and are still reading!!) “you’ve got such a big garden you could put your paddling pool anywhere why do you have to put it there?” It’s not that close to his garden but we put it there as we have a patch of grass that despite what we do never grows so it’s the most logical place to put it for us, & having it a couple of metres further away from him isn’t going to change much in terms of general kids playing & having fun noises But does he have a point, should we move it?! Also super angry with nephews dad & husband who just sat there watching me & him shouting at each other and didn’t intervene or anything!!They said after it was clear “I had it handled” and didn’t want to step in & steal my thunder!
