I told my kids to jump into the neighbors pool while they are at work. Is this a good or bad idea?

Answer 1

What in the world were u thinking?  You tell your kids to go jumping into their neighbor's pool without permission?  These are the reasons why that is so wrong.

1. What if they get hurt?  Yeah, sure, they are not babies, but stuff happens.

2. You are trespassing on someone else's property.  Whats next?  Raiding their refrigerator?

3. That's teaching your kids that they shouldn't respect adults.  Which believe it or not, will come right back atcha.

4. You are telling your kids that being a punk is O.K.  Not to burst your bubble, but u r a mom now, your crazy kid days are long gone.

Answer 2

If you're my neighbor, you're going to be in a world of trouble. I've got a nanny cam aimed directly at my pool, along with a motion sensor. Hope you have a good lawyer.

Answer 3

good idea untill the neighbors use their right to blast them into the next yard

Answer 4

Thats just teaching your kids that other peoples property means nothing ... so when they get older expect them to not respect a d**n thing .

Answer 5

You sound like my neighbors, they don't respect me or my pool either. They are always in my pool. So I did not open the pool this year and now they are hateful with me. But I work hard for what I have and they could care less about respecting me or my property. By the way, why are you home at that time. Do you have a job or are you just a sponge and use other people. Do you have any self respect, you have to have self respect before you can have real respect for others.

Answer 6

well let my start why and the h**l would u tell them that. u don't no if someone is waiting to get them or someone maybe still and the house jack *** dont be such a *** if u wont they *** to swim get them one because if that was my house i will kick your *** then bit the **** out of your kids so and another thing if they realy waned to swim in the bath tub.

Answer 7

No, that's trespassing and if one of your kids would have gotten hurt.......or worse, it would have been your responsibility, not the neighbors.  You are not setting a good example for your children.

Answer 8

Ha.i would  do the same thing :]

but i'd be the one going in the pool!

If you know your neighbors will be gone for a few hours, then i don't see why not.

things too watch out for

1. Alarms

2. Dogs

3. Other Neighbors that might snitch on you.

Answer 9

Holy cow! That's an awful idea! You told your kids to go trespass on someone else's property. What if one of them had gotten hurt? Did you know it costs money to maintain a pool?

You're essentially teaching your kids to tresspass, steal, not respect other people's property, and that whatever they do is ok as long as nobody finds out.

Way to go, Mom.
