A woman has slammed her next-door neighbour who allegedly told her children to play in her garden as it’s ‘better than theirs.’
She shared how in her garden there is a playing area which was built to keep her children entertained, however, it appears some other little ones are now also enjoying the set up.
The woman admitted to her frustrations on social media, where she explained the full situation at hand.
She wrote on Reddit: “Our neighbours sit in their garden right on the border with ours, and their children come to our garden and playground all the time.

“They leave rubbish behind, they’re noisy, and when our kids go to our own playground, the neighbours often call their kids back because they don’t want their kids to play with ours. Sometimes, however, they don’t care.”
The woman explained how she had already asked her neighbours to keep their children within heir own boundaries – but this has been disregarded every time she has raised the issue, the Daily Record reported.
She continued: “We have a garden that borders our neighbours’ property. As we rent our house, we cannot just install a fence.
“Obviously, we could just write to our and their landlord (same person), but I don’t want to escalate it this way. Instead, I want a more elegant way to solve this.
“The goal would be that the neighbours should not sit directly at the border and their kids should not come to our garden.”
Looking for guidance, she has turned to social media to ask users what they would do in this predicament.
In response, one user suggested: “You can get a low decorative fence on Amazon, Home Depot, etc.
“You can also purchase green garden stakes to support green netting, chicken wire or hardware cloth. Once a fence is up the children should stay away.”
Another user added: “Ask your landlord to put up a fence, because the neighbours keep coming on the property.”
A third user said: “Ask the landlord for advice on how you should proceed with them.

“Let your landlord know you don’t want to escalate the situation or cause unnecessary tension. If the landlord is worth anything they will resolve this themselves.”
One more user added: “I think someone pointed out that liability is a concern. The rental contract may absolve the landlord of liability from injury due to everyday activity of tenant.
“But in this case, a tenant not under the same contract could get injured meaning an increased exposure of liability to the landlord. It might be a stretch, but worth looking into.”
