We live in a rural setting (cornfield across the street) but it doesn't eliminate the four-year-old neighbor kid who is constantly cursing, crying, and whatever else he has to do to get his way! Greg observed his parents (from the sky-view of our new treehouse :)) fighting the other night...pushing, cussing, throwing things at each other...I knew the little guy had to be seeing it somewhere! It is so hard to find the line of protecting your own kids and reaching out to someone with the love of Jesus! As for your siding being demolished with softballs...I think enough is enough. That would be the end of my patience! Good luck with the fence!Greg & Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06124333428702526842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1059508542052609679.post-90261349501216987812008-05-31T13:25:00.000-04:002008-05-31T13:25:00.000-04:00I would love a fence myself.

I'm not sure how much I would want to fence in though. Good Luck. I would probably be the mean neighbor that would go out and tell the brats to stay in their own yard and leave my kids alone! Greg says that I'm like a Killdeer bird. I'm pretty protective of our kids!Greg n Anna Cubshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04950880725745476543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1059508542052609679.post-13368980467792943892008-05-31T12:12:00.000-04:002008-05-31T12:12:00.000-04:00Yep it sounds like it is time for a fence.

I do think you have every right to ask them not to play in your yard, but... just try and remember, they are kids and just trying to have some fun : ) I know I probably shouldn't give you that last bit of advice, since I've never had to deal with that, ha. However, we DID have to deal with our neighbor's stupid, yippie dog when we lived in town, ugh! Her back door lined up with our bedroom window (didn't work so well since we were 2nd shifters).Janiecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17155831678302545636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1059508542052609679.post-65836704436156810522008-05-31T10:18:00.000-04:002008-05-31T10:18:00.000-04:00Oh, neighbor kid trouble is not fun!

The first summer we moved here, some neighbors would send their little girls to our yard to "play". They would arrive about 9 a.m. & go home at suppertime! The parents had never even met me but yet they let their kids spend all day at my house? After about 2 days of them running in our house to use the bathroom, eating our food, and using inappropriate language - I had had it. I had to lay down the law. ;) Fortunately, they never tried to climb the fence again. Otherwise, we probably would have been looking into a privacy fence too.<BR/><BR/>Gotta do what ya gotta do to take care of your own kids! Your children deserve to play outside in their own yard.

That one girl that came to church always tried to beat Jake up because "she was a girl and he had to take it." One day I told her in front of her dad that the next time he was going to clean her clock because she was not a lady! She never tried anything again!Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935713619518653406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1059508542052609679.post-80425306642964613302008-05-28T13:06:00.000-04:002008-05-28T13:06:00.000-04:00I saw them climbing our other neighbor's fence jus...I saw them climbing our other neighbor's fence just this morning! <BR/>I'll have to do a walk by every once in a while to make sure they don't have any mean signs hanging on our fence! <BR/><BR/>By the way...Jonathan got right on that estimate thing!!!

You ought to go out there and tell them that if they are using YOUR yard, they HAVE to let Parker play as well or else they can stay out of your yard. Parker shouldn't be cooped up indoors because of those two! Now I'm really annoyed for you and if I were there I'd tell them myself. LOL ;o-)<BR/><BR/>I LOVE our fence! I can send the kids outside with absolutely no worries. Rodney put it up himself (well, dad did help drill holes in the ground for the posts and put those up) so it took a little longer but I SO appreciate his time and hard work!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02433549425734708110noreply@blogger.com
