Screachy children being anti social.

Options
Hello to one and all.

I have a bit of a problem.

Near my abode is a childrens playground, and sometimes, if the weather is agreeable, the local days nursery brings a band of its merry inmates down for a play session.

"Nothing to see here" you may well be thinking. However, you would be wrong.

The toddlers don't play nicely, they play a screaming game, the game only seems to have one rule "You must all run about screaming, the loudest wins"

The staff just sit there, looking into their raspberries and texting their boyfriends (I guess)

Its starting to drive me bananas , whats the best approach to get the staff to tell the children to play a better game?

    Walk over and politely explain that the noise is disturbing you and ask if they could encourage the children to be quieter.

    At the same time, accept that if you live within shouting distance of a children's play park there is going to be a some noise.
    Common sense?...There's nothing common about sense!

    I dont agree with the last bit.

    Its like saying if you live near a pub you should expect drunks pucking and fighting on your street. This is not the case. Children and adults behaving anti socially should be curbed for the benefit of all.

    How long have you lived in your house, how long has the playground been there?

    When you acquire your pet badger, bag up all of its little 'calling cards' and spread them liberally over the kiddies' playground. Badger poo has quite a musty and offensive odour so their parents will soon get fed up with them returning home covered in it, and will soon find another playground to despoil.

    It was always there, the nursery school, less long.

    You need your own toddler. Once you have one you'll go deaf.

    Are you in my house? I have 3 screechy, anti-social kids in the garden.
    I don't get nearly enough credit for not being a violent psychopath.

    I appreciate that the house itself has been there since the very beginning of time but that doesn't answer the question asked.
