I hope you don't mean using the car!?Today my wife went out in the car and saw the kid and mate in his garden and when she returned he was at our gate kicking ball across to his mate. She lost it and almost pinned him to the garden wall
Give the lads a chance to grow up. From what I know of kids the more they're asked to stop the more they'll continue. As ClubMan says an adult has to be very careful on how they deal with children, especially children that are not in thier care, aside from the law neighbours have fell out for less.
So - based on your original post she lost it and almost pinned him to the garden wall with the car ... deliberately? If that is the case then I suggest that she goes to anger management therapy as a matter of urgency before she harms somebody seriously! I am not joking.
Sorry - this bit misled me into assumine that it was...No ClubMan, Was not deliberate
She lost it and almost pinned him to the garden wall
I really feel sorry for you. Many outsiders will wonder what the problem is, they're just kids kicking ball into onion net etc...
However, I've been at the receiving end and it's like Chinese water torture. It was a strong contributory factor for us moving.
There's no real solution, apart from moving or murder, and by the sound of it your wife is close to the latter. (Stuff we tried included parking a car on the road to narrow the playing field, complaining to parents, confiscating the ball and actually joining in their game.)
The kid across the street uses our gates as a goalpost. This drives my wife mad and she has told him time and again not to do so. He is 15 and before him his older brother did the same but he at least stopped when my wife went out one day and screamed at him. Today my wife went out in the car and saw the kid and mate in his garden and when she returned he was at our gate kicking ball across to his mate. She lost it and almost pinned him to the garden wall, she made a show of herselve and when I got home she was so upset at the way she had swore at him. We got a new porch unit recently and the football slams into it all the time. Any advice please?
You were lucky.John i would recommend that you stand up to these lads and in a not so nice way tell them that if they don't remove themselves from your gate you are going to take matters a step further!
Yes, I certainly remember growing up. We wouldn't dare treat people like this.Does anybody remember growing up?
