Making them apologize would make them think more about how their action effect others (besides family and known people).

Logan Johnson you wanna advise her on what to do? 
Oh hell no. My boys are 4 & 6 and they play rough and crazy but it’s not like it’s the middle of the night. Tell Karen not to speak to your children that way. If you don’t do or say something she’ll continue to do it. I’d be so petty and buy my kids the most annoying toys ever and let them go in the backyard all day

Parent your kids. Apologize to the neighbor and if your kids fight too much, separate them. Seriously if you’re going to be inconsiderate about noise move to the country.

Kids will fight, but how do they react to an attack from an outsider, do they have each other’s. back. If they do, no worries
l get paid over $187 per hour working from home. l never thought I’d be able to do it but my buddy makes over $18918 a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The possibility with this is endless.

Hellll no!! No one would be talking to my kids like that especially a grown ass women
I would go to her house and advise her that if there’s an issue she needs to speak to you directly - and also tell her not to talk to your kids that way. They did nothing wrong and it’s the middle of the day so she needs to take out whatever she has up her ass. Idc who she is - don’t talk to kids that way.
Depends what kind of neighbor it is. If its a neighbor that does the same thing or is loud at times I would explain to them that they do the same thing and have them apologize to the kids for talking like that to them. If its its a quite or older neighbor I would walk the kids over to apologize for being loud but I would also still have the neighbor apologize for talking like that to the kids. There should be respect on both sides.
That’s fighting words especially saying it to your kids! That’s insane. Go there now and at least talk to her.

I don’t know that’s a tough one I would let it ride this time but if she does it again I would say something
I would ask her to not speak to my children that way. Let her know if she has any issues she can talk to me. If she wasn’t to start arguing about it then get cameras that record video and audio (sp? I’m not wearing my glasses) and see how often she does it. If it’s every time they are out without you then get her for harassment. If it was that one time then at least you know.

You know your children better then anyone and as you said in your post, you know when to intervene. You’re neighbor is brazen for using the F word to little kids. I’d be right over there, as politely as possible, that if there’s a problem to please come to you and not to talk to your kids like that again. I live next door to kids who are very loud when they’re outside. I’d never think to talk to them like that. While yes, it can be annoying at times, I smile because one day they will look back and remember those days as fun times and always being with each other.

And then people harass parents with " kids aren’t outside. Too much screen time blah blah. This is why. People don’t want yo hear or see kids anymore. Someone yelled at my teenagers jumping on a trampoline in our backyard because they were loud. The old guy actually said don’t tmyou have a video game to play. We’re trying to enjoy our deck. They came in sad. Next thing I know the guy turns his music up and then has a loud bbq. It went past 10 pm against our little communities noise ordinance. I went out and told them to turn it down he refused. I called the police. He was pissed I told him he should’ve left my kids and friends alone in our yard. Grow up adults.

my neighbors constantly do this… from April till October that’s all I hear in my backyard is kids screeching at the top of their lungs along with their dog who just about lives outside and barks cuz the wind blew… last year I had 3 trips to the ER for migraines when I couldn’t leave once the noise started… this spring I asked the to tone it down on the noise just a little but it didn’t work. what did work was bringing a screaming crying colicky baby to cry in my backyard (I wasn’t home) and I put on wolf mating calls on a speaker… the dogs shut up for the wolves and when the baby wouldn’t stop crying they got tired of listening to constant screaming also and magically told their kids to start being reasonable.
I have 3 kids. 9 , 6 and 5 so things tend to get loud especially outside because that’s where they can let loose. There’s times I have to go out there and remind them that we have neighbors that don’t want to hear them yelling all day. However no one and I mean no one can yell at my kids. I would have been outside the second I heard my neighbor yell. I would go knock on her door and apologize for the kids being so loud and let her know that’s the first and last time she ever yells at my kids or we will have issues. This can be used as moment for you to talk to your kids. My neighbors also have 3 kids and they are so annoying. They sit on the fence, peak over all the time, yell and scream all day , I can’t even leave my windows open to get a nice breeze because it’s so loud. So I get it from a neighbors standpoint however as a mom it’s a hell no.

Tell my kids to yell louder. My level of petty trumps your ability to be an asshole.
First I could call the police to have a report on file about her yelling and cussing at children in their own yard because tour going to want a report on that!!! It’s actually can be called disorderly conduct if you yell and cuss at children. If she is a HUGE b to the cops when the do the report they might arrest her? If she she’s but she’s just get a hey don’t do that again! Then the next time she yells at your kids go the F off on her!!! You have ZERO right to say anything to children in their own yard unless they are physically hurting another living breathing thing. And they weren’t.

Don’t know the age group but they have to make their beds run the sweeper and dust or any other chores which of course they hate …they are not allowed to talk to each other. Once one hour of tasks are complete they are allowed to play in the house for one hour without fighting if this cannot be accomplished start again with indoor chores. To ban them to the outdoors to fight is inconceivable.. It’s called parenting🤷♀️. When we would fight my mother made us hold hands and walk down the block. EEEWWW

the bottom line is those are your kids! Are. You. Okay. With. That.? It dont matter what the actual situation was. If you were watching, present, and okay with the behavior of YOUR kids then the neighbor was out of line. Because I’m telling you my neighbor would’ve learned a life lesson that day and i know hubby would be behind me with bail money. Must be the southern mama coming out but nobody is gonna yell and cuss at my babies but me regardless of the situation. that would’ve been made clear in that moment.

I wouldn’t have even had time for my husband to tell me anything. I would have immediately been at her door daring her to say something else to my kids. If she had an issue she should have taken the adult route and came to talk nicely to you about them being a little quieter. Kids playing outside isn’t a quiet activity and they shouldn’t be forced to be silent.
Like you said you had given up at that point. She was just picking up the slack. My question is, did they shut up??? She might have just became your best friend!!! Remember it takes a village!
I’d be pounding at her door and not posting to Facebook. NOBODY gets to talk to MY kids in any sideways sort of way. That would have been a fight on sight mama. Kids are loud. Kids fight. Heaven forbid they do it in their OWN yard!

Yea, no one is gonna yell at my kids specially using that sort of language. Only I GET TO YELL AT MY KIDS. It’s 1pm they aren’t chickens, they don’t have to be quiet at 1pm. My cousin was renting a room to some chic and my cousin had a 2 year old at the time. The lady was complaining and called the cops cuz the baby was too loud and the cops told her " Oh well, he is a child. She can’t shut him up and this is his house. You may wanna get ear plugs or headphones. She can’t reduce the child in his comfort environment to appease you. You are also welcome to move out if you don’t like the noise or children "

Well she should of handled differently but also think about her perspective there could of been something highly important going on at her house and your kids without knowing were distracting.
Once you calm down…I would talk to your kids that they need to be aware that even though they are outside there could be circumstances in other households such as illness, death, baby sleeping; grown people that work have yard shifts, etc etc etc.
And after that I would speak to your neighbor. Tell her to let you know if the boys get out of hand and you will address the issue.

Not everyone has kids or if they do, they don’t allow them to be excessively loud. Maybe she has a sleeping baby or she is trying to nap. IDK the dynamics of your neighborhood or how close your houses are, but if the noise was constant, maybe she had enough. It might be time to STFU. I don’t allow my kids to be loud when other people are around or in my house. I have an autoimmune disorder that causes sensitivity to sound. I know I am not the only one who hates noise.
I would laugh at her! Kids playing in their own yard will make noise, all kinds of noises. If kids were really fighting then parents need to step in, otherwise let the kids play. Geez what does the Karen do when dogs bark? Lol

We would definitely have words. Nobody speaks to my kids that way.
Honestly if they are being loud and rude to each other loud enough for everyone to hear, it’s a natural consequence for them to have someone who can hear them respond. Not that she used the best skills to communicate but it sounds like you recognize they were being intense enough. I get letting them work it between themselves if you have tried and tried, but let the natural consequences of life come to them too.

Go to the fence and yell at her to shut the fuck up and tell her next time she has a problem bring it to your attention and not your very young children. Outside is where kids go to play and be noisy. People on here are defending the neighbor but it is NEVER ok to speak to a child like this that is not yours. Especially not young children. I don’t care how loud they are being. If anyone ever talked to my kids like that when they were little I would have busted their mouth open. The neighbor could have handled this WAY better. Also,I would talk to my kids about having their arguments in an acceptable tone when people are nearby. This is why I live all the way out in the middle of the woods. No neighbors. No one to care about my loud ass kids or dogs. Lol
