[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the guy that wrote the email who was livid is this guy?

(From a follow up post of OP’s)
The neighbor we know less well has had issue with other people crossing through THEIR yard in the past and was annoyed with our kids for being in their yard before so it rubs me the wrong way that they think they can just let their kids walk through our lawn without even asking.

If this is the same guy then I don’t blame OP. The neighbors who have more privacy in a cul de sac don’t want her kids playing on their cul de sac but then expect their kids to be allowed to cut through her yard twice a day.

Yes, it's this guy.  The other family was fine with it and having the kids walk around.  It's a less than 10 minute walk....and if it's a super big problem they can call and have the bus stop moved.  I don't mind if kids come and play in our yard (and they do) but I don't want kids wearing a path on my lawn.  I spend a lot of time and money making my yard look nice, it's something I really enjoy and I don't want it destroyed so I'm standing ground.[/quote]

So to be clear - one of the dads of the kids who walk through YOUR lawn didn't want your kids walking through HIS lawn? Then yeah, tell them to keep their kids off your lawn.

I'd probably deal with it but our neighborhood has a lot of communal spaces and we're all pretty good about sharing even our own property with others, but I can't stand hypocrites so I'd definitely put a stop to it.[/quote]
