Kids don't understand that shit without a lot of explaining. Kristin and I had to be dicks but eventually we had it so that none of those little f'ers came on our "property" without asking. Granted, it was mostly out of concern for our dogs, but still. <BR/><BR/>Start by politely explaining to the kids that you'd rather they not play there. See how it goes. Then move on to the parents.<BR/><BR/>Good luck.Doug Walshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09492162192250783305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15758140.post-1147290017472114812006-05-10T15:40:00.000-04:002006-05-10T15:40:00.000-04:00operation "fuck that" is in full effect. honestly ...operation "fuck that" is in full effect. <BR/><BR/>honestly that sounds like a shitty situation. you didnt meet the neighbors before hand? that seems like it would deal breaker if you'd have known. <BR/><BR/>i dont have much advice except try to lay down the ground rules, as she appearantly did by telling you (albeit nicely) that "i beat my kids and its loud so deal with it" <BR/><BR/>if it doesnt get better theres always the ACME FENCE CO. and if that doesnt work the cops. <BR/><BR/>sorry jess, good luck with that.Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03269144717191708795noreply@blogger.com
