When it happens again. And it will cause she thinks she got away with it. Meet her at the fence and let her know you will not allow her to talk to her kids like that!

I’m actually so embarrassed when my boys are outside acting like fools. Lol. My 4 year old knows as soon as he starts screaming and being rude he’s on time out .
She should have handled this situation differently. Your neighbor should have knocked on your door and spoke to you first and I would let her know that was not acceptable and not to get to comfortable addressing my children that way!

Im not saying her delivery was right, but maybe she is tired of not being able to enjoy her backyard without hearing your kids fighting? If you did speak to her, maybe ask that if she has an issue that she addresses you and not your children next time. It’s definitely not okay to curse at kids and technically it was at 1pm, which doesn’t break any city noise ordinances that I can think of, but still…annoying is annoying and kids fighting is one of the worst sounds. If they were just playing, it would be totally different

6 and 9 years old…in their own yard playing (which often includes sibling “fighting” and “yelling”…uhhh…NOPE no one talks to my child like that. Its toxic and disrespectful and harsh language especially when used directly AT them. You don’t F BOMB my son! out of respect for my child I would stand up for him and tell her “i dont know what kind of unfortunate stress or situation you are in to make you act out towards a child that way; but you will never talk to my son like that again. A grown woman making a little boy feel less than. For shame.” Odds are she’ll apologize

Sometimes it takes someone else to say “stfu” for it to work. U said they often fight and yell at each other so u gave up? I wonder if they stopped the fighting tho. If so I’d probably thank her/him

Who tells a child to “shut the F up?!” Totally shows her mentality & she shouldn’t be around kids. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve dropped the F bomb in front of my kids lots of times, never “AT” my kids though. There is a difference.
Most places demand quiet at 9 or 10pm. I’m not saying don’t talk to your kids, do. You should be able to work with them. Although it’s like cats & dogs sometimes lol
I would absolutely knock on her door & request that she come say it to me in the future. My kids are savages. I get it. Talk to me, don’t be cussing at my children, or we will have problems.

I would make some noise myself as an adult and see how the neighbor approaches that. That’s totally uncalled for. It’s one thing for kids to be loud but there were so many other ways that could have been handled if it was really that bad.

Obnoxious constant bickering made by ESPECIALLY children can be taxing on a lot of people. I myself have noise sensitivities, and while I wouldn’t have yelled at your children the way she did I definitely would have said soooomething. The cussing was unnecessary, but you don’t know how that person’s mind is if you don’t know them. They could just be assholes or they could be neurodivergent of some sort. They could just be having a super shitty day too, you don’t know. You do know you live in a neighborhood though right?
I would of smacked fire out her face and we would of all been screaming me my husband and the kids and any body else that wanted to join in the scream match kids scream kids fight siblings more then most why bc they see each other all the time they will be fine let them be kids

I wouldnt let someone else speak to my children that way because the neighbor had the option of coming to you directly. But you should also be more considerate of your neighbors if they are being that disruptive often.

During daytime hours, the kids should be allowed to be kids in their own yard. If the neighbor has problems, you are who she takes it up with. Not only that, I would have been at her door in a heartbeat if I heard someone cuss at my kids in my backyard! Absolutely not acceptable.

Trust me mommy kids are a$$holes to each other. If exhausting. But if you as the mom are so sick and tired of it you completely given up dealing with it imagine someone that has to sit there and listen to it. It’s simple. If they wanna play outside they play nice. If they can’t play nice together then they play separately or time out

I don’t think it’s cool how she said it . There kids and she shouldn’t of used that language.
That being Said.
You gave up keeping your kids from screaming at each other 
How about bring them in or time out when they act like that.
Your neighbor was in the wrong for how she handled her frustration. But you as a mom shouldn’t make the neighborhood listen to your kids yelling. I get kids will once in a while fight you made it sound like that’s all they do . She’s probably tired of being outside trying to enjoy a nice day and has to listen to it
It’s about respect and your both in the wrong.

let them play there again and stand there like a watch dog for when she goes at them again…and if she yells at them and curse you can go balistic on her ass…or hey 
that is what i would absolutely do!!
It takes a village….
And she’s part of your village, even if you don’t like her.
Maybe her yelling at them will actually make them behave a little better because we all know that kids tend to listen to other people more than they listen to their mom.

Brandie Rhoades I think you’re being a dramatic judgmental helicopter parent.
My kids fuss and argue as any sibling does, we also live in a very safe neighborhood with fenced in back yard where at the ages this mother speaks of they were perfectly safe playing alone while I watched from the kitchen window.
I understand if it were in a store or restaurant, however I don’t think any situation unless it is harmful gives anyone a right to get into MY kids in my own yard!
I also don’t think it’s ok to sit here and pass judgement on another mother!!
If that were my kids and if my neighbor had yelled at my kids playing in my yard then there would definitely be a discussion!
If you don’t want to hear kids argue fight scream (you know, be kids) then don’t move into a neighborhood with kids.

Knock on the door anyways. He can either come with me, or I’ll go by myself.
Good intro to life. I tell my own the same daily. It’s weird that the neighbor did that for sure but is it worth creating a weird situation? I’ve dealt with weird neighbor shit and it’s not even worth it most of the time. Tell your kids that the grown neighbor shouldn’t have acted like that and to not get loud around her place so y’all do t have to deal with her.
If scream back over at her to come over here and tell someone her own size to shut the fuck up…or go the other way and be sooooo fucking nice. Like bake her cookies or some shit
My neighbors must have moved to be your neighbors.

Since you said you have given up on them fighting I’m guessing they were doing so outside. If I was the neighbor and had to listen to my neighbor kids yelling and fighting I may have told them to shut up as well. I would suggest the only thing you ask her is if she could watch the language but feel free to tell my kids they are being disrespectful.
Nope. I wouldn’t be okay with that. I’d be making sure the music and kids were extra louder You’re not going to talk to my kids like that. As long as it’s not night time and there’s not a noise ordinance { certain time}.

During the day?
Nah. There are people who work overnight though. Or stay@home moms who have babies that nap. There are many situations to cause that trigger. I, personally, wouldn’t have said anything to the kids.
I’d run over and let her know that next time she has anything to say in regard to your kids, to say it to YOU so that you can address it. And that if she does it again, there will be problems.
…And then let it go.

You’re not causing issues. The neighbor is. I would’ve been out the door and in their face so damn fast it would’ve made their head spin.
I mean I wouldn’t appreciate someone talking to my kids that way for real, but I mean the neighbor didn’t harm them or threaten them. I wouldn’t make a big deal over petty bullsh!t. Pick your battles. But if it’s really bothering you that bad then just go next door and calmly talk to her about it. But there has to be compromise. On both parts.
I, for one, try not to let my kids be unnecessarily loud even when outside if there’s neighbors THAT close. It’s called respect. And nobody has to be that loud.

Get some family counseling, take some parenting classes, and discipline your kids in a positive way. You aren’t doing yourself or your kids any favors by giving up on them. Once you’ve started this process of behavior change let your neighbor know you’re doing something about the problem.

If its constant loud bickering and she can hear it all the time then I don’t blame her. None of us were there to know the extent of it so we really can’t say what ypu should do. But if you’re not monitoring their behavior and not doing something about it, then what are you teaching them?

Umm… have some respect for your neighbors. You gave up disciplining your children so everyone else is supposed to deal with it?? That’s plain ignorant! Punish your kids that’s how you handle them fighting all the time… you’re the reason your kids got yelled at. I’d yell too if my neighbor wasn’t doing anything about her kids fighting all the time … poor lady snapped cuz she’s tired of dealing with it. People just want peace and quiet sometimes. If you knocked on my door after I yelled I’d tell you off too and slam the door in your face.
