Any of you women who is okay with the neighbor cursing at someone else’s children need help. That is highly unacceptable. If an adult has a problem with children then they need to address the parents not the children.

This should of been taken care of the moment it happened. No one is going to be cussing at my little a-holes but me! Children will be children. They are outside so they can be loud. Outside is when they can be loud. I guess I don’t understand why this wasn’t dealt with when it happened.

Many people work overnights but yelling the f word at children is unacceptable. I would probably talk to my kids and then if it happens again I would talk to the neighbor.
I’d be telling her that asking your children to quiet down a little isn’t such a horrible thing, but that if she takes it upon herself to talk to your children like that again, that she better start practicing swallowing teeth. If it were that big of an issue, your neighbor could’ve came to you. They’re kids… outside playing… That’s where they’re suppose to be yelling, instead of inside the house

I would go smack the bitch! My neighbor called my daughter a dirty Mexican and let’s just say she called the cops on me! But oh well it will teach her don’t fuck with me or my kids! Let’s just say she sold her house and moved hopefully to a Damm farm
They were in THEIR OWN yard with a fence separating I’d have a conversation with her and tell her you don’t appreciate her talking that way to your kids

Sounds like you need to learn to control your children. People should not have to listen to your kids screaming or fighting. She could of knocked on your door and said something but its probably not the first time she had to hear your kids outside acting like fools.

There is no reason to use the F word EVER, in my opinion.
I’d knock on her door tbh no one should speak to anyone like that never mind children
They shouldn’t have cussed at them like that, but they also shouldn’t have to constantly listen to your kids fighting. One should always be considerate of their neighbors. I think you should let this one slide, because how would you feel if you were them?? You don’t even like listening to your own kids fight, so why would they?

I’d get super ticked off having to listen to other peoples kids scream and fight all the time. It’s different if they’re just outside playing having fun but when they start yelling and fighting it’s not fair to make everyone else have to listen to it. Do I think the neighbor handled it the right way? Absolutely not, I’d be pissed. But I think it could have been avoided if you would have controlled the fighting better instead of just letting them do it and all your neighbors have to hear it too. Super inconsiderate of you.

My neighbor lets her kids run in between the houses “we live in NJ so houses are like 5 feet apart) and they scream bloody murder when they play and right by our windows and I also tell them to STFU 
Especially when the parents don’t give a shit to contain their kids or to make them have the decency to play without screaming like they’re being murdered or when I have class or we’re trying to watch a movie or just don’t want to hear kids screaming in our window at the top of their lungs.
I would say something, no one has the right to speak to your children like that!!! I don’t care how loud they are!!!

If you can’t keep your kids mouth at a range that doesn’t bother your neighbors, then YOU ARE LETTING YOUR children disturb your neighbors peace. No damn different than playing loud music or letting your dogs bark.
If you hear your kids yelling other than playing. Bring one in for 30 minutes than put him back and bring the other one in to sit for 30 minutes. Oh and the one outside has to stay there for the full 30 minutes. Bring them both in sit them down once they had there time out . Tell them you start screaming yelling and fighting again next time it will be a hour a piece timeout if you do it again 2 hours a piece . Do you see where this is headed . Neighbors are threatening to call on you two .

It’s the afternoon. They’re outside playing. They are kids, who are loud. If my neighbor said that to my kids, we’d be having words. You don’t yell at my kids and you don’t cuss at my kids, or you get to see this mama go crazy🤷♀️

This is why I’m so glad I live out in the middle of nowhere and my neighbors are relatives. Kids are loud and even louder outside. It’s 1 pm she needs to chill. Now I could see if she had a newborn that was sleeping and they kept waking it up but if not she needs to chill
I’d flip shit if some bitch told my kids to shut the fuck up while they were playing.
Idk im indifferent if you dont want to tell your kids to stfu and your neighbor did why be mad she was done listening to them honestly just because we as parents dont give a shit it doesnt mean others want to hear them. if you didn’t care that they were fighting you should have brought them inside to fight 
Sorry but definitely wouldn’t slide by with me I have 2 girls 11 months apart and 90 percent of the time they want to fight constantly about everything but that doesn’t mean it gives anyone the right to cuss at my girls when I don’t do it neither shall they I have 6 neighbors on my lane been here for 9 years also have 6 grandkids as well and there isn’t a day they aren’t yelling screaming and playing or fighting amongst themselves I tell my girls they better work it out before I do but never not 1 time has any of my neighbors ever acted like this in fact most of their grandkids come to the house to play on trampoline and ride dirt bikes so definitely not warranted even if it was 9 pm it was uncalled for period she needs to be talked to
She never should’ve said anything to your children, if she has an issue then as an adult, she should’ve approached you. But, you should also be more respectful of your neighbors and noise. I would speak to her and tell her to speak with you if there is a next time and cussing at your children is never OK.

I would be knocking on their door. Had a neighbor cuss my daughter out one time when she was playing on the sidewalk and went in front of her house for saying she was riling up her dogs and she got a nice visit from me. My daughter is 7 was 5 at the time. They just moved finally but they were horrible neighbors
I’d say something. Babe… that b$/… yelled at your young children like they were grown adults! That ain’t cool no way no how… idgaf if she was over hearing them carry on for 4 hours that IS NOT how you talk to kids!
What’s she gunna do or say next time? Like you said your kids are a pain in the ass with their bickering etc so much so that you’ve given up and out of ideas so I imagine she’s utterly furious when it happens… brace yourself for a clap back though… if facing that situation is too confrontational for you then leave a beautiful letter in her mailbox tonight don’t let too much time pass, let it be known in no uncertain terms that her outburst wasn’t cool and definitely won’t be happening again without shit getting real should she do it again…
The way I would curse that lady tf out😩

Honestly, that’s shitty of her, but I’d let it go this one time. If she doesn’t have history of being a pain and it doesn’t happen again, it’s likely she had a crap day and was just as tired of hearing it as you are. Sounds like she had a really bad moment. It wasn’t right but everybody gets one in my rule book.
It’s irritating AF to listen to bickering kids. I do not blame the neighbor. Stop the arguing between your kids. Damn. 
Kids are loud. It’s 1PM, not 1AM. She should’ve came and spoke to you if she has an issue. If they’re screaming their heads off, then maybe consider telling them to keep it down in respect for your neighbours but she shouldn’t be yelling at your children.

I’d slap the life out of him
Be a Mama Bear protect your kids from verbal abuse but let your neighbor know you will try and police them but they get to be to much

Handle it by handling your kids first. If they can’t play nice they can’t play together… maybe they just need a break from each other, I know my kids do occasionally.
Then, deal with the neighbors disrespect by being Respectful and take your kids over to apologize. BUT make sure to mention that what she did was in no way appropriate either so she will need to address any other issues here on out with you and NOT by yelling foul language at your kids.

It’s your backyard and you can do as you please. Kids will be kids and they have the right to feel comfortable in their home and backyard- as long as they aren’t being wild after maybe 7 or 8 pm, it’s fair game. I would also tell my kids that some people are very grumpy and unhappy with their life and project it to others and it’s not a reflection of them- ignore these kind of people and move on. Or what I like to say smile, nod and walk away

She has the right to enjoy time in her yard too… why were they outside alone in the first place? Maybe she would’ve addressed you if a parent were outside with them but because there wasn’t a parent she did it on her own. What she said was very inappropriate obviously but this is also a parenting issue on your part because you should absolutely be correcting your children when they’re fighting and screaming at one another. They need to be taught to separate themselves when things are getting tense.

I think differently on the subject Why should everyone listen to conflict in their areas. I’d say for every time your kids resorted to fighting they aren’t busy enough in their day to stop the bs. So one in the front yard one in the back they can pull weeds they can rake the grass they can trim the edges of the grass with pinking shears but they would learn after a few days work no one wants to hear it. Have to be consistent. Every argument come work details apart from one another. Problem solved.

I cant imagine the neighbor yelling that after a few minutes of “bickering”. Probably snapped after a few hours and knew you were home not doing anything. You admitted that.
You gave up and this was the consequence.
Call the police and ask what the noise laws are. Just because they are in their own yard does not give them the right to disturb the neighbors. Their bickering is not just in your yard, its in your neighbors yard too.
She snapped on your kids because you dont. If you get pissed and make a big deal of it, you have taught your kids that it’s ok to behave like this. You think its bad now?

You need to talk to both tour kids and the neighbor. Kids will be kids and have disagreements, but if they’re spending more time arguing and fighting outside than they are playing, something needs to change. Teach them that they have to respect the neighbors as well. If it’s possible for you to play outside with them, or even just sit outside so you can keep the fighting at minimal that would probably help keep them in check. I’d also go o er to my neighbors and say her behavior was completely unacceptable, behaving that way towards another adult is bad enough, but saying that to young kids is inexcusable and if she talks to your kids like that again the next time you go over, it won’t be a civil conversation between the two of you.

As a mom of 5, sometimes repeating myself over and over gets real old a yields no results. I’m grateful when someone else tells my kids the same things I tell them. It hits different coming from someone else. They realize maybe it’s not just Mom. I think if your child’s bad behavior is spilling over on to neighbors, they’re the ones who are out of line. And if it were my kids I wouldn’t blame the neighbor at all.

There are noise laws in most communities. However, they are usually restricted to 9 or 10 to 6 or 7 AM. You probably could file a complaint for the obscenity she used for minor children, but that may open a whole can of crap. Perhaps talk to the kids about fighting outside, and if neighbor continues to b**tch, talk with her about her language when speaking with children. She may have medical problem making her cranky, or lots of old folks have lost all their patience due to aging issues. If you haven’t met her yet, induce yourself as her neighbor and maybe apologize about the kids fighting and disturbing her. That may open the door for her to explain why the noise bothers her so much and you two can work out something.

Walk over CALMLY and talk to her. Find some common ground aka you won’t give up supervising no matter how annoying your kids are and she won’t cuss at them. You can also give your number so she can text you directly to deal with them so she doesn’t snap. If your own kids were making you so crazy you snapped and gave up… imagine how annoying they are to neighbors that aren’t responsible

You said your kids fight quite often. To the point you have given up. If they do it a lot it’s not just you that has had enough it sounds like. If this is the first time your neighbor has said anything maybe there is something you don’t know. Maybe there has been a death, job loss, found out they or someone is very ill. You don’t know what they are going thru. Approaching them might just make things worse. You never know someone else’s struggles. Why not make a snack basket and have your kids take it to her apologizing for their disruptive behavior. Take it out of their allowance too. Sit them down and make them write an apology note also. This is a teachable moment for them. Use it!! Remember not everyone wants to hear your bullshit. They need to learn how to resolve problems without screaming and arguing and being inconsiderate to others.
So glad I live in West Virginia and in the country We yell and holler all we like and everyone minds their own business
