To not want next doors children in my garden ?

[CrackerOfNuts]

They don't actually live next door, they visit the people living there.

They are ok, nice enough kids, but my garden is currently a right tip, and slightly dangerous. My own kids are only out there because they have been given strict instructions of what they can and cannot touch, and they know that any mesing about and they will be in.

Dd2 has just come in and said the lad next door asked his mum if he could come in our garden and she said yes so he has climbed over.

I have told him to go back as it's not really safe for him to play here until I have cleared up all of the rubbish, but he is still here.
His mum heard me too.

I don't want to be responible for him hurting himself.

Can't you just point out the dangers to him.

I think it's a little unfriendly of you I must say and if someone told my child to go back because the garden could be dangerous I think I'd roll my eyes.

Argh now i feel bad. The dad came out and said to dd1 'don't worry it's fine' and took him back over.

Best order that skip LOL.

He is only 3 though, possibly younger.

There is several big piles of dirt, broken up furniture, bits of building stuff and god knows what else lying around.

Where did that come from ??

I don't like next doors kids coming into my garden. I feel that it makes me responsible for them and usually when mine are out the back i will get chance to do some housework or read a book without them under my feet and i don't feel able to do that with other peoples kids around. I actually think its quite rude to just put your child over a fence into someone elses garden without asking if its ok first, especially a three year old who will need supervising.

Furniture is from my room, pile of dirt is from when my dad did the shed, and the building stuff is from this week, because my dad came and built my wall between living/dinning room

Have been delaying ordering a skip because I didn't want to have to get another one once my dad had finnished.

Possibly ordering one for Thursday.

Have told the little boy that he can come over once I have thrown all of the rubbish away.

My garden's a bit like that. DH keeps collecting bits and pieces he reckons he'll use and the whole garden is comprised of several works in progress.

Don't worry too much. Did you explain your fears to the dad? He might have been glad to get him out.

Message withdrawn

I wasn't outside when the dad came out.

Ds and the little boy are now playing ball over the fence anyway as it's only one of those low level wire ones.

Tbh I cannot wait to get the skip and have a really good chucking out session. Have told the kids that they better make sure that anything they want to keep is well hidden LOL.

Regardless of whether your garden is safe or not - I can not believe another parent gave a child permission to go into your garden without asking!! Definitely not unreasonable...

Yeah, that was rude too I suppose. I'd certainly not have given my dc permission to go into their garden without checking it was ok.

Anyway, nevermind, tis all sorted and has spured me on to sort my tip of a garden out.

oh i would love to have young neighbours climbing over the fence to play with my dc

i dont think YABU but i really think its nice you have neighbours who can play with your dc's
