To find pavement chalking by neighbour unreasonable?

[Hanji83]

We are in a row of houses which have a footpath running in front of the road with a grassed area either side. One of the neighbours has two kids, who for the past week have been drawing on the pavement using chalk. It looks an utter mess. Would it be wrong of me to say something to the parents?

Don’t approach them OP best to pick your battles.

First house I owned I was super precious about and got annoyed at this exact thing. It was going past my house and also up the wall leading to my door and I just overreacted (but I wasn’t rude). Looking back I know I was BU - so nobody come at me pls lol.

(It wouldn’t bother me now and tbh straight after it happened I felt silly and bad about it)

saddest thing was it caused a big falling out with our neighbours for a long time. It ended up all being okay but it was awkward for a couple of years!

It’s not a big deal really just be chill about it. X

Kids being kids, kids playing outside making their own games, what crime it is.

im not miserable i just hate chalk 😂😂 believe it or not, it’s actually allowed.

Get a grip.

Please dont be that person. During covid my 5 year old chalked hopscotch outside our house and our next door neighbour got her hose out and washed it away 10 minutes later. Petty nasty behaviour

You’re being massively unreasonable.

We once were on the receiving end of similar complaints from neighbours in our cul de sac who didn't have children at the time and failed to appreciate our kids' genius artwork. 😁 Fast forward a few years: our children had grown out of such pastimes and their own daughter's favourite summer activity was ... chalking rainbows over all the driveways! 😂

My kids have had great fun over the last few months drawing on the pavement outside our house and other houses with chalk. All our neighbours except one are elderly and not one person has complained. Get a life! It washes away when it rains and brightens up dreary grey pavements.

I wouldn't want it in front of my house if it looked messy. However, I wouldn't say anything because neighbourly discord is unpleasant. We are in the minority OP but your dislike is valid
