Lemon JUICE?

This is two sided for me. Like sure, come get your ball off my lawn, but like don't stick around & just chill there.

Yup. As you're responsible for the yard - the torn sod, garbage, other broken property isn't worth it, nor is the liability if something goes wrong and a kid gets hurt.

When people are so quick to sue I can see why people wouldn't want kids in their yard. The kids get hurt and the parents can come after you.

I have never had random children playing in my yard, but if I did I would ask them to leave. I don't want to be responsible for them if they get hurt. We also have a small pool in our backyard

People have gotten sued when kids trespassed into a yard to use the pool. It's called an "attractive nuisance" if they can easily get to it. Even no trespassing signs can't protect people if someone's hurt and it was preventable.

That's why my parents got rid of our old swingset. The neighbor started having her daughter play on it and they didn't want them to sue if she got injured. They had their own swingset in their own back yard.

"Why can't kids these days just go out and touch some grass" kids go out and touch grass "Lmao I didn't mean my grass"

by Anonymous 4 months ago

I think thats reasonable when there alot morr grass to be touched.

by Reasonable-Young 4 months ago

And much better grass than when I was a kid.

I let kids play in my yard all day long but it's not unreasonable for others who say that to expect kids to go to parks, forests and/or public places.

I mean, it's trespassing and you could be sued if they hurt themselves on your property. They have no right (nor business) being on someone's property without permission.

by Anonymous 4 months ago

Yes. You are legally liable for their injuries while on your property, so GTFO.

I do. Then I can yell at them with 'Hey you kids. Get out of my Jello Tree.'

The same kids who refuse to walk up the hill that is my front yard for FULL SIZE candy bars at Halloween are the same kids sledding down my front yard when it snows. 🖕🏻

If you aren't using it...

I guess it's half and half, on my street anyway. This year I built a huge snow fort for my kid and all the kids on the streets are playing with it. I don't mind, it's there for that. They expanded it as well and built tunnels.

Ha! I dont have a yard! That'll teach those dang whipper snappers

by Desperate-War 4 months ago

I think it depends for me. I probably wouldn't really care unless they were being destructive/ touching what's not theirs or maybe if I were outside at the same time. My parents always welcomed our neighborhood friends to play on our trampoline/ playset while we were gone when I was a kid

Not unpopular, and the law agrees with you if they were to get hurt, they could sue you for damages (likely succeeding)

by Anonymous 4 months ago

Why? Genuinely? I think this is unpopular because a lot don't care. Especially now that kids are so stuck inside, I'd be happy they were playing on my lawn. Maybe it's different because I don't have a grass lawn (live in a desert). Even if I did, I wouldn't care.

by Abshirejamel 4 months ago

I wouldn't care but there always that possibility of parents trying to sue you if their kid gets hurt on your property.

by Anonymous 4 months ago

That is why we have to have homeowners insurance. A person gets hurt on the sidewalk in front of your house and they have the right to sue.

by ParticularSnow9186 4 months ago

They get hurt and the parents can sue you.

by ParticularSnow9186 4 months ago

kids are stuck to devices all day now. if i need a neighbor playing a little too far into my yard and they're not damaging anything i wouldn't care. we need a better sense of community more anyway
