Thank you Ladies, I really appreciate your feedback, and taking the time to reply

Lulu, I know. As they were throwing the grass clippings, I saw them, and immediately yelled out "Quick, time to come inside". As soon as we got inside I had instant regrets of not going to the fence and pulling them up on their behaviour. Live and learn I guess Trust me, next time I see nasty behaviour, I'll be letting them know its not on.

MummaSue - This would have to be one of the toughest parenting thing I've had to do so far I hope your little girl avoids nasty kids forever xo

Arimeh - Well that sounds like an awesome idea, except perhaps you should move HERE instead I would love to be your neighbour

Stoked - Thanks for being you. Yes the fence is sounding like a fabo idea to me too. And I'll definately try and scare them a little, by pulling out my mum voice next time I see them act up.

It just really irks me. I rarely see their parents, they all just play in the backyard unsupervised. Just when lunch approaches I hear the feint sound of "lunch time", and then they all scuttle inside. haha. So the parents probably don't even have the slightest clue that they're being meanies.

It just really breaks my heart.. DD is seriously, too friendly. Is that possible? She tries to talk and befriend absolutely every kid she see's, half the time she either gets snobbed off, or the child is too shy and doesn't know how to respond.

I think we'll be building a fence asap. Put my little girl in bubble wrap for as long as possible *sigh*
