AIBU Neighbours kids and the football?!

[Pippymcphee]

Please tell me if I'm just being grumpy and unreasonable!
Our neighbour kids are outside playing football, no problem with that at all. I don't mind it coming over into the garden, and I don't mind them letting themselves into the garden to get it. Kids being kids is absolutely good with us! What I do mind though, is that the ball keeps getting booted so hard into the gable end of the house and knocking the pebble dashing off, but more importantly disturbing my toddler who's trying to sleep, as it's her bedroom wall that it hits.
I've reminded them several times this evening that she's sleeping, and asked them if they could please refrain from hitting the wall.
Should I maybe speak to their parents when I see them? Or am I just being cranky?

If it’s damaging your house then you should ask them to play further away. If they ignore you, you’ll have to mention it to their parents.

I wouldn’t bother mentioning their playing is keeping your toddler awake though, as neither the kids or parents will care. The parents will just be pleased their own kids are out having a nice time playing in the street. They should care though if their kids are damaging your property as they may feel it could result in them having to pay for repairs.
