Neighbor's kids play in your yard.?

Question

Do you guys mind if your neighbor's kids go through or play in your front or backyard?

Answer 1

Yes I mind because they have no right to go on your backyard or frontyard like that. It shows that they don't have respect on people's property. The only exception is that if anyone of my family member knows the person and they are playing or having fun.

Answer 2

Interesting question.
My first instinct as a mother is whether or not they're parents know where they are.
But as for your question; in the past their has been destructive kids who have left trash and killed or trampled on my plants and flowers. I usually go out and talk to them ( most of the time they just are not thinking about respecting your property) One boy didn't even realize that I had planted those plants and that they where mine.

We usually agree on terms such as you can ride in my driveway as long as you don't crash into my tulips (something along these lines)

If my little one is trying to take a nap, I will ask them to leave so as not to disturb.

I do think it is rude and don't even allow my children to walk on someones grass. But I would rather be on good terms with the neighbors then have a trampled free yard.

Answer 3

I like kids,so it wouldn't bother me at all. Of course it would depend on whether or not they were making a mess or damaging my flower beds. But if they showed respect for my property I wouldn't mind them being there at all.

Answer 4

yes I mind.....play in your own damn yard. Unless they are playing with my children I don't want the liability

Answer 5

No, not at all. I just wouldn't want them to be doing anything that might cause an injury. If that were the case I would send them home.

Answer 6

No. As long as they are respectful.
