Why take on that liability?

I came home one day after it had snowed to find 2 neighbor boys snowboarding down our steep hill into the pole of our basketball net. I politely told them that wasn't safe and they couldn't do it. Now I think they are afraid of me. Whenever they see me they go the other way. I'd tell MB if its becoming a problem.

You need to put an end to this. Tell the parents. You could be legally responsible if one got hurt.

3 kid neighbor boys asked if they could play on DC's new playset, I said okay as long as they don't throw/kick woodchips on the grass. DC1 is at daycare during the day and DC2 (infant) is with me... After putting dc2 down for the nap I look out the window and
Boy 1 is in tree next to telephone wires, boy 2 is climbing along top of the 6 ft tall fence and boy 3 is jumping on the roof of the play house... Wtf. So I politely tell them "hey boys your welcome to play back here but you can't climb the fence or get on top of the play house or climb by the wires, I don't want you to get hurt or something to break." They reluctantly say okay... Then 10 min later they are on the playhouse roof again. So I tell them "if I have to ask again you can't play back here." Then they leave and say "I don't like that lady". Well I don't like you either kid! They are ages 8-11 ish? They are just annoying.. They kick balls on the side of the house & my car, they let themselves in "our" backyard and just wonder around without asking (which gets the dogs crazy and wakes up baby) and they are loud as ****. That is literaly the only negative aspect about my current job.
Am I the only one who is dealing with this? Any neighbor stories anyone is willing to share?
