If you allow your kids to kick a ball at a joining fence repeatedly, you're a trash person.

It's 24 degrees

We all want to enjoy our outdoor spaces.

If you allow your darlings to repeatedly thump a ball at a fence because "kidz shud b allowd to play innit"

You're a trash human
.

Where has consideration gone in this country.

Why dont you take them to a park and give your neighbours a chance to enjoy their garden in peace.

That was the neighbour’s response to the OP asking them to be quiet!

So what’s up with the purposeful bad spelling when OP can spell? Just screams OP thinks they’re miles above them. It’s giving judgemental and snobby.

Yes, I think we grasp that. It was the combination of the OP’s transcription of the neighbour’s speech and her designation of him/her as a ‘trash person’ that makes her sound like a wanker.

“Going over”. My neighbour uses that phrase to minimise the disruption. Why people let their kids do this is beyond me.

Maybe take them to a park?

Why should your neighbour be inconvenienced so you're not?

It's presumably a phonetic replay of what was said

I believe that was a quote from the parents who allow their kids to behave in such a way. Seems accurate to me. Poorly behaved children usually have that type of parent

‘kidz shud be allowd to play innit’ paints a perfect picture of exactly what the parent was like. Some people have no sense of community.

I had lovely neighbours who had older boys who did this , I spoke to her , told her it was not only very annoying but the fence was suffering ( it’s ours) and the ball was coming over with alarming regularity and risked hitting my free range rabbit . She told them to pack it in or go up the local field . I suggest you speak to the parents rather than insult them online .

As a parent I do apologise to the neighbours but I'm not going to stop my children playing, 4 loud boisterous boys.. but I'd rather them out there playing that sitting on a phone or in front of a screen

Are those the only options? Kicking their ball into your neighbours garden or being glued to a screen?

They’re the only options that don’t require the poster to make any effort to actually parent her own children. 🙄

People who let their kids disturb the neighbours deserve some sort of judgement. It’s entitled “couldn’t give a shit as long as we are doing what we want and fuck everyone else” behaviour. They are part of the reason this country has gone down the pan. No one disciplines kids or tells them to give it a rest. No, it’s their right to do as they like. I judge them as fucking morons

My kids are a bit older so harder to actually get them outside into the garden. My neighbours kids play football in their garden and the ball often comes into our garden. If I’m outside I will pop it over the fence, if we inside they knock for it. I don’t mind hearing them play, and they are hilarious to listen to when they have an argument.

Respectfully, I suggest in turn that you rtft

I'm afraid I will come at you.

Not only are you affecting your neighbours peaceful enjoyment of their garden but you're minimising what at best could result in broken belongings at worst injury by balls flying over the fence

You're entitled. If outdoor time is that important to you I suggest you take your kids to the park and not just make it your neighbours problem.

But then again that might actually mean you have to get off your backside, which, as the only other option for entertainment you apparently have is screen time, I fear you don't want to do.

Sorry it actually wasn’t clear to me ( or some others) that your comment about Kidz shud b allowed to play was their response . In that case I’d look to move as you can’t deal with stupid .

To be fair the angry people on this thread aren’t making themselves sound the best either …

Bingo.

Ok I was on your side until I seen your judgmental replies to people.

‘get off your lazy backside’ really?? So you and only you are entitled to enjoy your back garden then? Anyone with kids is lazy because they dare enjoy their back garden 🙄

It sounds like she is miles above them given their dreadful behaviour.

Who are the 19% of people who think this is acceptable. It's great for kids to be playing outside but they need to learn to respectful of other people and their property

Not at all. Everyone is entitled to enjoy their garden, but doing so in a way that detracts your neighbours enjoyment of theirs because you kids right to play noisily or not, as inconsiderate as that may be, trumps everything, is entitled.

It drives me mad when the neighbour who lives opposite me has her kids play football over my side as there’s a green area which is fine but they kick it at the wall which is side of my house which that’s bad enough and always kicked into my front garden, knocking over my flowers and has hit my front door a few times so I completely get it OP!!

If my sons ball hits a fence when he's in the garden he gets one warning and then I go and take the ball away (the sound drives me insane let alone the poor neighbours)

My husband tends to head to the park or a football pitch with him if he wants to kick a ball.
