Help! We feel like prisoner's in our own home constantly being badgered by neighbor's children.
My boys are 13 and 11. Neighbor's children are 7 year old twins (just turned 7).
The second I pull into my driveway after a long day of work, the neighbor's children are there asking if my son's can play. The doorbell rings at 9 a.m. on the weekends -- we are not morning people and typically don't even get out of bed till noon. We cannot go into our yard without them running over the second we walk out of the door. We live on a corner lot, so this holds true for the backyard as well.
We rent, so it is not possible to put up a fence. In fact, the backyard is fenced and the neighbor's children climb over it.
We have spoken with our neighbor's several times. We have even gone so far as to disable our doorbell -- now they just knock on the door and won't stop till door is answered -- I waited an hour one day.
How do you deal with people like this?
