[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chiming in for the curmudgeons.[b] You've had complaints from not one but two neighbors. [/b]That leads me to think that there might be something to their concerns. Also, respect is a two way street. Maybe your neighbors are having issues of their own and need some consideration.

Most people who have had kids are not going to complain about normal kid noise during reasonable hours. But some kids are screamers. That gets old fast. And some kids do not respect boundaries. I don't think it's asking too much to expect your kids to stay within the confines of your yard and to keep the noise down to a reasonable level. If they're already doing that, then I'd try to clarify why the neighbors are complaining.[/quote]

This is the most salient point.  One complaint can be a write-off.  Two complaints are a good indicator that OP's family is having a problem being good neighbors and that they are not being good members of their small community.  So put up a fence, OP, and do a sound check of your kids.  You may need to do some training for what is appropriate.
