Sorry, rants aren't usually my style but there's something bugging me, so...I'll put it out there.
I just had to go outside and tell the little neighbor boys to go play in their own yard because they were sledding and riding bicycles - yes BICYCLES - down our snow covered hill in the backyard. I know it looks tempting as a kid so I won't even blame the kids here...
What sort of parent lets kids go play in someone else's yard without an invitation. This is not the first time, either - it has happened many, many, many times over but I had finally had enough, especially considering bicycles were thrown into the mix. Their Mom is home all day and unless she's a completely sucky Mom, she probably knows where they are. In my yard. WTF?
I don't even have kids myself which they obviously know since they've not seen one come or go in the year and a half we've lived here, other than my nieces or nephew coming to visit for a day or two, all of which are highschool aged. We've never invited their kids to play and in fact, have no time to even speak to the neighbors. Really. That, plus I have no interest in them whatsoever. So why send your children to play in the yard of someone who has no kids? Surely the neighbors couldn't think that we'd invite such a thing? That is a lawsuit waiting to happen, especially considering that our backyard is very rocky.
People seem to have no respect and common courtesy these days. If you really thought it would be ok for your kids to play here, you would have came over to ask me yourself (though I would have said no because it's DANGEROUS! Hello!). That's not even considering the fact that it's just plain weird considering we don't have any kids and you don't even know us! Why would you trust your kids at someone else's house when you don't know them? Never even spoken to them? I am mentally screaming all this because I honestly don't see how some people are so...wreckless, careless, stupid!
So to any kiddos who go into other people's yards uninvited, don't do that it's not nice. If you're a parent who lets your kids do that, your neighbors hate you. Just sayin'.

Totally agree! I feel your pain. I have two children (5 and 3). I would never, ever send them to someone else's yard without an invitation first.
Once, when were gone all day, we came back to our house and all of my kids' toys were scattered around. It turns out that someone we know came over with their kids - while we were out - and played. Are you kidding me?!?!?!? AND - they didn't put the stuff back.
What are these people teaching their children? grrrrrrr!
lol I use to have one neighbor kid who would like to try and climb our tree. weird!
yes ma'am. seen the very creatures in our yard...
F!
oh this is so rude i would be fuming too, we get kids in summer playing football on the street and they just walk in our back yard which is rude you should always knock,
Oh I feel your pain! My house is on the corner and on the same block as the grade school and I dont know how many kids I stare down to get the hell out of my yard not to mention those that walk their dogs and let them just pee and crap from time to time... Wish I could catch them in the act! I would have a fit!
My parents have a pool in their yard and twice in a weeks time one summer they caught kids IN THE POOL when they came home! These kids lived 3 blocks away from them for goodness sake. When asked what the hell they were doing they said... our momma said we could swim here... WTH is wrong with parents?
Then again we live in a world where some people find it ok to birth 14 babies that they cant afford so nothing should surprise me anymore...
That is the craziest thing! I can't even imaging looking out and seeing somebody else's kids in my backyard (unless of course we had invited them!). Totally weird!
