...From past experience he probably just asked them to be quiet one night...
Agreed, once a connection of any sort is made there can be bother.
Children hang around the back lane which is the vehicle entrance to Iffy Towers at school kicking out time.
I'm not often around then, but I avoid driving the car in or out if possible.
A couple of times I have done it, one or two of the children have been reluctant to move to give me access.
I shouldn't have to compromise in this way, but it's a small price to pay for a quiet life.
One medium-term hope for the OP is that childrens' habits change as they get older.
The children who are hanging around outside his house now might be going to pubs in year or two's time.
On a lighter note, there were some children playing the river which runs past the lounge window of the caravan.
Harmless enough, but they were making a bit of a racket.
An adult appeared, so quite pleasantly I say: "It's none of my business, but there are a lot of rats up and down the riverbank.
"It would be wise to make sure the children have a good wash when you get them back to your caravan."
It worked - I never saw them again.
