NWR: URGH!!! WHAT THE HECK is WRONG WITH PEOPLE!
I just got into a fight with my neighbor!! URGH!!!
We have a gate in our backyard that goes through the neighbor's yard... since we moved in i've noticed the kids from the other house come into my yard without permission to get a ball... i have asked them nicely to please not do that... (we have a pool and rocks and other dangerouse things back there and I dont want to get sued if they get hurt) and i have also noticed dog poop in my backyard... and no we dont have a dog!
So im in my back office room and i see these kids in my yard again... so i go out there and they go running... so i go into their yard to remind them that i have asked them to not go into my yard and to come to my door if they lose a ball...
so the father is there and starts screaming at me that he told them it was ok and what else are they supposed to do and that he dosnt want his kids to have to walk in the road to get to my door to get their ball back! ... I DONT CARE IF IT IS OK WITH HIM!! IT is MY yard and I SAID NO!!! URGH! I told him that I was going to have to nail the gate shut then and he said fine go ahead... Im just so aggravated how nasty he was!! am i being totally unreasonable???
URGH!!!

Re: NWR: URGH!!! WHAT THE HECK is WRONG WITH PEOPLE!
I don't think you're unreasonable at all. Considering the fact you have a pool, if one of the kids fell in I'm sure they would hold you and your husband responsible, right? As I see it, you're not only looking out for your property but their kids as well...which is more than one can say for him. I love it when parents set crappy examples for theirs kids. Then you wonder why some kids turn out the way they do. It's your yard, your property and they're trespassing. Period!

Re: NWR: URGH!!! WHAT THE HECK is WRONG WITH PEOPLE!
Tell him about the little boy in Hicksville who died this week because he wandered into his neighbor's pool!!! Doesn't he watch News 12???
You're watching out for his kids, too, not just for your own insurance policy...
BTW, I checked out the cjb website and it is beautiful!!! You're going to help so many brides!!!

You would think the father would understand that you are concerned for the safety of his children!!

Re: NWR: URGH!!! WHAT THE HECK is WRONG WITH PEOPLE!
I DO NOT like children NEAR my property. I have high fences, higher bushes... WHY? because that same Dad would SUE YOUR A$$ off if his kid got hurt on your property! You TOTALLY did the right thing.

Re: NWR: URGH!!! WHAT THE HECK is WRONG WITH PEOPLE!
Definitely lock the fence.
when i was a kid we used to hop the neighbors fence to get our ball (the people behind us) but they were old and didnt have a pool and would rather us get it ourselves...
however if you told them not to do it then they shouldnt, and their father sounds like an a$$ - if one of his kids fell in your backyard he probably would sue.

brilliant!!!  and if that still doesn't work add some decorative barbed wire  maybe the father will have to get off of his butt and go to your front door to ask for the ball back so he won't have to worry about his children going in the road. seriously, how can he be SO CONCERNED over them going in the street but not going into a stranger's yard without supervision, a dangerous pool and rocks??? Am I missing something here?

Re: NWR: URGH!!! WHAT THE HECK is WRONG WITH PEOPLE!
Isn't it unbelievable that people think nothing of going on other people's property?
Maybe you can tell him you can use his yard too then? If it's not a problem to use your yard it should not be a problem to use his.
Nail the gate and tell him that he and his kids would be trepassing private property.

Re: NWR: URGH!!! WHAT THE HECK is WRONG WITH PEOPLE!
Not at all....especiallywhen you have a pool in your back yard. God forbid something happens someone like him is the one who will sue you. Nail the gate shut and if they kick the ball over your fence again deflate it and send it back over. LOLOLOLOLOL.......

Re: NWR: URGH!!! WHAT THE HECK is WRONG WITH PEOPLE!
It's for his kids safety! How would he feel if G*D forbid something happened..he would have to live with it!
Nail the gate shut, then if the ball goes into your yard, they will have to come to your front door. This will also prevent the dog poop situation from happening again.

Re: NWR: URGH!!! WHAT THE HECK is WRONG WITH PEOPLE!
You are completely right.
My uncle was having work done on his pool and a kid from his neighborhood was being chased by the cops (!) and jumped the fence into my uncle's yard and landed in the pool on a spike!
THE KID AND HIS FAMILY SUED MY UNCLE!!!! Now, I am a paralegal in a med mal firm, but seriously? He was trespassing AND running from the police???
And I know my uncle's homeowner's insurance paid the family something, but really!
So, keep on making them stay out of your yard!!!
