I'm new in the neighborhood so I told this kid oh no not on my yard or in my yard ...the other neighbors are renters and don't give a crap about their yards . I'm sorry I own this place and I will be da*med if I will let lil rowdys ruin my yard just because their parents don't own a home or yard . My mother used to say you teach people how to treat you and your things guess I'm going to have to teach these neighbors some boundaries where my home is concerned . Do parents not teach their kids respect for their neighbors ? plus my husband is out working on the car and has it on a jack , what if the kid had run into the car and hurt my husband ? I can tell you those people don't have a dime to pay my husbands injuries caused because their kid does not know boundaries and respect .
Have you spoken to the parents about this?
For all we know, the previous owner allowed the kids to use their yard....
No pitt I no longer speak to parents about their kids because they have a snowflake mentality I have seen it already with the lady next door . No I don't care what the previous owner did , new owner , new rules and they need to learn even if I have to teach them what their folks don't .

Okay...so? You said your peace. I don't know any parents who let their children ride bikes through the yards of others, unless it's fine with the homeowner(who usually has children of their own).

So you expect the parents to read your mind?
Maybe you should just put up a fence then.
Like Mattie, I don't know any parents who let their children use the yards of others, unless it's fine with the homeowners. They talked to each other about it!
So you asked the kid not to ride through your yard, correct? Did he stop or did he continue to ride and disregard what you asked him? If the former, what is the problem? And how is this not showing respect? If he did what you asked him and didn't argue or otherwise give you a hard time, I don't see how that is disrespectful
If the latter, how, exactly, are you going to teach the neighbors about this?
Not riding bikes across the yards of others is not in the standard rule book I gave my kids. If I were aware of it, I might say Don't Ride Your Bikes Across The Yards of Others. I would not consider it a big deal. Nor would I care if other kids rode their bikes across my yard (I used to live on a corner).
However, If you said to me "I mentioned this to your kids but I thought I'd let you know, We'd appreciate it if they didn't ride across the yard" I would certainly speak to my kids! And I would be glad you let me know. And I would gladly enforce it as I was able.
But if I knew you were thinking this:

I would just think you were rude, unhappy, or lacking in the social skills required to just come and talk to me. I'm a really nice person. I am not a mind reader, and not all people have the same standards you do. You are already resentful of people you haven't even spoken to.
