Kids kicking ball against my wall

Now let me start by saying I absolutely don't want to be that person because I love that kids are playing outside.

However I ha e plenty of green space literally less than 30 second walk from my house out the front it's open grass. I'm end terrace. The kids are kicking the ball again the out building in the car park near my car and also using my bins. All I've heard for the past 2hrs is this ball being kicked against my wall and bins. It's a daily occurrence because of the weather.

Aibu to tell them stop kicking it against my way? Again I really don't want to be that person but it's nothing short of incessant 😩😔

Yabu to have put up with it for 2 hours without going out and having a polite word.

Just do it.

abso say something. Tell them what you’ve said here, that it’s great they’re playing outside and you don’t want them to stop but please could they play on the grass instead of kicking the ball at your wall.

I used to live in an end of terrace house, and even though there was oodles of green area at the front and back of our houses .... Including a football pitch, they chose my walk to bounce their ball off. My dogs were going mad.

Yep, told them to naff off.
