[QUOTE="Janna, post: 25986, member: 2737"] I have 5, but we are on a curve on the road, so there's nobody on either side of us. Across the road from me is 109 acres where that farmer grows field corn, so there's nobody there either. There's nobody on 3 sides of me, then the horse farm behind me, but that's so far away, they don't hear anything either. We chose that location because of that. ALL my kids have very loud voices. They don't know indoor voice. I know how you feel - yes it's your land, but you have that paranoia. "Oh man, can they hear my kids yelling"? "Oh gosh, are my kids bothering them - making too much noise - "? whatever. been there done that. Okay, so no, maybe it's not *fair* to make the kids use the other side, BUT, it would keep them away from neighbor kid. Now that spring is coming, maybe you can get some yard stuff? We have tons of junk in the yard. Huge trampoline. Blow up pool in the summer. Baseballs, basketballs, footballs, golf stuff. We're building a treehouse this spring, and making a sand box. If you can get the kids to occupy themselves with other stuff, it would keep them away from the fence. Sidewalk paint (sell it at Wal Mart, cheap), my kids go out, find rocks and stuff, paint them. Send em out to the trees, let them make their own little treehouse with stuff from the woods (rocks, sticks, etc). If you can get them set up with stuff to do on their own, then maybe it will distract them. As for making dates, well, yeah. I haven't had play dates for my kids yet. I know Dylan would like to maybe have a friend over, but he hasn't taken that step yet. easy child wants his "girlfriend" over, but I know he'd bore her to death with all his "hunting" junk LOL!
