    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.

    That or
    Take the goat for a walk while they are being noisy.

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

    So on day 8 when god made the play park that was before you moved to your house.

    Why on earth did you move near a play park?

    Anyway that aside, to get some peace and quite have a wander over to the playpark in a rain coat and ask the kids if they would like to see your puppies.

    One of two things will happen, both will get you some peace from the kids:

    Either the kids will run home and the park will be quiet, or you will get arrested and spend the night in the cells.

    Both give you a break from the kids, win win situation!

    Well,Freddie, how old are these children? I've yet to meet a quiet toddler, except when they're sleeping ;)

    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.

    No, it isn't the same thing at all. Drunks fighting in the street are breaking the law. That sort of thing is also often an issue late in the evening/night when it is likely to disrupt sleep, making more of a problem.

    Children playing in a play park and making a bit of noise during the day is completely different...and I don't think most people would consider the noise of children playing 'anti-social'.
    Common sense?...There's nothing common about sense!

    I would be more worried by the fact that their carers are playing with their phones instead of watching what the kids are doing. I daren't take my eyes off my toddler granddaughter either in the house or at the playground!

    And pray tell me, when you were a sprog, did you play nicely all the time ...how did you keep the noise of your playmates down to a roar?

    Personally I would far rather hear the screeching of toddlers than the effing and jeffing or braying of those who are supposedly grown up! (especially when they cannot even spell "screeching") !
