Question:
Living on a cul-de-sac does not mean giving up rights to a peaceful life. First make friends with the families (meaning talk to the parents, learn the kids names and say hi every time you see them.) then explain your objections. We live in a modular home park (aka trailer park) with only two ways in or out, so cars generally drive slowly. There are small yards and lots of kids ranging in age from newborn to late teens. Our neighbors on two sides happen to have kids ranging in age from 7-16, and they do the normal things kids do that create noise. When we moved in we introduced ourselves to the neighbors and explained that my husband works nights, so they might be hearing him coming or going at odd hours. We would do our best not to be too loud, and asked the same of them as hubby is a day sleeper. Luckily for us, everyone was very understanding. My husband gets up around 4pm, and the kids usually play on the other side of their house until then. In return I don’t make a fuss about noisy kids outdoor sleep overs that keep me up extra late in the summer, or when the teens hang out on the porch playing music loud enough that I have to turn up my tv or radio to hear it. The neighbors have also all changed to mowing lawns in the evening (this was worked out by my husband via him just mowing their lawns one night when he did ours, that way they didn’t do it at 8am on Saturday and wake him up 2 hours after going to bed. He said loosing the sleep was harder then mowing their lawns and they took the hint. After all, he could decide to mow our lawn at 4 or 5 am, right after he gets home from work.) I have found the best way to deal with minor irritants is to make friends and work it out in a friendly manner. After all, you never know what you might be doing that gets on their nerves! (Are you a gardner? I am and planted a ton of flowers one year that it turned out the neighbors hubby was extremely allergic to. After learning that I gladly pulled them up and they helped pay for something that didn’t make him wheeze (I didn’t ask for or expect them to pay for the plants. I simply asked what didn’t bother him and she offered to go to the nursery and buy them with me.) The world would be a much better place if we all tried to work together and if we tried to remember that my rights end where your nose begins and vise versa. Liz

I’ve had a similar problem with the young teens hanging out in the street in front of my house – one of them lives right across – my kids bedrooms are in the front of the house, so the noise they make does disturb my kids. I’ve been very polite and gone outside and asked them to keep the noise down a little, since my kids are in bed. I’ve always said something like: I know it’s a lot of fun to hang out late on summer nights, but my kids are having a hard time falling asleep, can you keep the noise level down a bit? They’ve been mostly responsive to my requests. One night I went out a few times then called the Security Police (I live on an airforce base) and they came out and talked to the kids. Kids are kids, sometimes they don’t realize that what they are doing is bothersome to anybody.

- Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – I’ve had to speak to the children once or twice, over a stray ball or using my front gate as a gymnasium, and they’re the typical couldn’t-care-less cheeky, hard-faced, lot that many children seem to be these days. Don’t you hate that? I was 7 months pregnant, sitting in my car at the school while my husband played tennis one day. These kids were on their skateboards and with the entire school parking lot, this one kid had to try flipping his board under his feet right next to my car. Now I had watched them and they weren’t that good at it so I asked him to please not flip that thing so close to my car. He just walked away and I went back to reading. Apparently he turned around and flipped me off because the next thing I know, my husband and his friend were scaring the you-know-what out of him.
I saw a father in precisely that situation in our little town. He made the mistake of laying hands on the kid and wound up in jail for ten days. I’d curb that overweening sense of outrage if I were you, or him. He could wind up with big cellmates. I had two girls in my store with attitude and foul language over a policy we have. They came back in a bit nicer and said their mom explained it to them. I told them "good" because I wasn’t going to put up with their attitude again.
You were lucky, a person I know works in a 7-11 over in Silicon Valley and the owner pulled that on a couple girls and they went to their Mexicano boyfriend who came in and shot her in the head. It might be better to find another reason to tell them to stay out and having an officer break the news. Having ANY kind of attitude to kids these days is like road rage, wean yourself off it; you had better pick your fights VERY carefully, and dirty words and trying to be some kind of moral prick is not worth that anymore. As for your problem, if talking to the kids isn’t working you might have to talk to the parents. If they are any kind of parent at all those kids will not be disrespectful again. It’s the parenting here. If that doesn’t work, call the police and complain about disturbing the peace. But, unfortunately, anymore if you complain you end up a target.

Short of shooting them, there’s nothing you can do. Well, unless you decide you want to help them. Their parents are not being parents. This means they have no parents. No one is teaching them respect and to care about much. How else might they know? I take children into my home to homeschool them. Many of them have parents who just want to be rid of them. These kids are impossible at first and it’s even more difficult when they go home and get another dose of parents not caring. These kinds of kids will feel absolutely no effect from your upset. They are likely immuned to that. But they likely have not experienced real communication and caring. This doesn’t mean you dedicate your life to changing theirs; it simply means you get into communication with them. Hire them for a little job and tell them how well they did. Invite them for a drink on a hot day. Be a neighbor. Then when they are unbearable or violate your rights, you will be able to reach them because you have established some friendship with them. It’s easy then to ask, "Mathew… I know you would really like to respect my property buddy. Thank you." Smile and wave, and when the noise really bothers you, ask them to lower it a bit for today or to move down the street for you. They will. This will also increase your tolerance to the noise because they won’t be a separate annoying world to you. When you are in communication, they are part of your world rather than a forced element. You may find you sometimes actually enjoy their presence and feel good about being one of the few who see them as ok kids.

Totally!!! It’s a cul-de-sac, too. It’s a different way of life. It’s more like a community rather than just another street. We used to live in one. Very fun. Want to live in one someday with our kids. But, of course, there’s ALWAYS going to be one hard ass living in one. And this lady’s fast finding out she’s the one in her neighborhood. AJPDLA

Go out and make friends with them. Young males do NOT want a lot of adults as friends. It’s creepy. Every single time you become aware of them, go out there, and be their best friend. They’ll quickly realize they will get not one instant of privacy in front of your house, and will think up other places to hang out.
Oh, God. If you came out to make friends with me, I’d friggin freak!!!! This is agreat idea. Bring cookies and milk when you go out, too. They’ll think it’s poisoned. AJPDLA
Response:
Gosh, I don’t know where you live but where do the kids go to play? I mean there are no open fields and if there were you would have to worry about gangsters, and creeps. They are not playing in your yard but in the street bothering you? You could get the double pane windows that are suppose to keep out the noise. I used to be one of those people that the kids outside got on my nerves because of all their noise. Well, guess what? I now have three of the loudest kids you ever heard of. Another life lesson eaten on a silver platter.
LOL. We had a run-in with an apartment complex in which we lived with regards to kids and their being outside in the courtyard screaming their friggin heads off, at the top of their lungs, for hours on end. We couldn’t even hear ourselves talk in the apartment, it was that bad. And when we were on the telephone, we’d always be asked from the other end of the line, "What the HELL is going on over there." We finally had enough and my wife placed two speakers outside both of our windows, facing down into the courtyard and BLASTED music to try to drown out the kids’ screamings. The landlord’s husband was up before the song hit halfway. We argued – I was right in his face (these were HIS kids (3) down there as well) – God, I wish he would have tried to swing at me, LOL – for about 10 minutes. He told us if we didn’t like it then move. We moved three days later. There’s nothing you can do. Nothing. Kids are going to be kids. And now, years later, we have one of our own. We’ll raise ours differently, with respect for others. That’s about the only thing you can do. One of the ways to handle problems that are bothering you is to get their phone numbers, when they hit your window, or acting in manner that isn’t pleasing to you can call their mom and tell on them.
This won’t work. Nice try, though. She’ll be the laughing stock (she already is) of the neighborhood. Think about this too, isn’t life a little to short to get upset about kids playing out in the street? I think that one of the reasons that there are "young" and "older" people is so that we can slow down our fast pace crazy life and enjoy the basics again. When was the last time that you ran around for the fun of it, playing like it is your last day on earth and laughed a little at the top of your lungs.
I think she’d rather have them away from the neighborhood doing drive-by’s or something. Now that I have written this I am going to go out and play with my kids and make a little noise.
Heck ya. I can’t wait till Noah and I can raise high holy hell in the neighborhood. LOL. AJPDLA

As children will do. The trouble is, they seem to like doing it outside MY house with all the disturbance and occasional balls hitting windows that this entails.
It’s not outside your house. It’s in the cul-de-sac of which your house is a part of. If you don’t like it, then move. It’s really all you can do. These parents moved into the cul-de-sac looking for a safe place to raise their childern and have them to be able to enjoy playing outside without fear of being run over by cars, or at least it was part of the impetus, I am sure, which brought them to this cul-de-sac. The parents in my road tend to have the `shove `em outside till it gets dark’ attitude to their little darlings, which is fine in winter but can get a little trying during the long summer nights.
LOL. SO the kids should stay in during the summer and play outside in the cold only. LOL. ANd why wouldn’t they have this attitude, read my above paragraph. Cul-de-sacs are for people who can get along with their neighbors. Again, move. I’ve had to speak to the children once or twice, over a stray ball or using my front gate as a gymnasium, and they’re the typical couldn’t-care-less cheeky, hard-faced, lot that many children seem to be these days.
Yes. And the more you push, the more they’ll "push" back. Welcome to the New World, the fear of living in your own home, wanting to keep to yourself, only to have people walk all over you. Do any of you have any advice as to the best way to nip this in the bud thoroughly.
Yes. MOVE!!!! I don’t want to try anything (ie. talking to the parents etc.) that might just make things worse, or make my home a target, as I live alone and I’m out at during the week.

Then don’t do anything. If you don’t want to do anything about it, shut your pie hole and let those little bastards walk all over you. Or you can go talk to their parents and see if you can’t get it sorted out. If it were me and a ball hit my house all the time, I would just take it and keep it, and tell them that if they want it back, a parent would have to come get it from me. — Jack Tarkaan Kalamazoo, Michigan — NO UNSOLICITED E-MAIL AT THIS ADDRESS – Respect privacy – NO SPAM!!!!

You live in a family residence community not a retirement community….get used to long summer evening with screeching kids and the occasional loose ball. But I like Elaine’s idea. May I go it one bit further? Set up your lawn chair outside and read humorous anecdotes from Readers Digest to them and laugh uproariously at even the lamest. That will guarantee you a place in their creepy neighbor to be avoided book…..oh yeah….always offer them little boxes of raisins and brown spotty bananas whenever you see them. Squint allot and wear Bermuda shorts with black socks and white sneakers. Of course you might get clobbered by a suspicious parent and a police background check….but the kids will stay far away.
