Nothing serious just interested in peopleās views. I had a bunch of young-ish kids banging and kicking at my front door and running off. Best believe they got a mouthful off me (no swearing, just a bit of yelling š«£). Iām heavily pregnant and not in the mood to be honest. Iām all for kids being kids and having a laugh, a bit of knock down ginger or whatever, but donāt be kicking at my front door. If youāre big enough to do that youāre big enough for a bollocking. My teenage daughter said I shouldnāt shout at kids š¤·š¼āāļø Am I in the wrong?

I used to live next to a comprehensive school so have shouted at a fuck load of kidsš and plenty of dickhead teenagers on bikes when Iām driving too

They shouldn't be kicking the door. I'd yell at them, too
0 to 80 blind crippled crazy idc. i will tell your ass off i dont discriminate everyone can get it š¤£

On your property, totally acceptable. If they're just being dicks in public like at a park, not your place to parent them. So in this case, go nuts! Lol

Of course. Give them a piece of your mind

I might not have shouted but Iād have said something.
There was a group of young (6-11 ish) kids standing at a house a few doors down in my cul de sac shouting at the top of their voices for someone to get their arse out here now. After 4 mins with no signs of stopping, I opened my front door and stared til one noticed me, then said āoh I wondered what all that noise was, my daughter is trying to sleepā and then went back in. They were quiet after that. Iād have been much ruder if theyād been kicking down my door though!

They need to be shit up a bit. If theyād done that to my elderly disabled grandfather who was a fall risk and wouldāve struggled for 10 minutes to get to the door, just for no one to be there when he opened it. Iād have gone fucking mental

I'm always yelling at brats in my neighborhood. They're all bad and need reprimanding lol

If someone yells at my son bc he purposely kick their door, well Iād be happy and will tell him you got what you deserve !

It depends if I see any child about to fall off a cliff or get hit by a car or touch a stove etc I'm going to warn that child quickly because there isn't time to mess around however it's not my child so anything else I may talk to the parent if it's affecting me or my children but otherwise that's their business not mine lol and good riddance lol I got my hands full of my own business

I voted no before reading the whole post. I'd definitely shout at them too. They're at your property, harassing you..

Lol if I saw a pregnant woman yelling at my kids for messing around and disturbing you on your property Iād be like get over here my bad!! I wouldnāt be mad cus I get it, like others said if itās public obv parents job. If I was you I wouldāve been like AY GO HOME LEMME LONE

If they werenāt directly bothering you at your door then I would say sometimes its better to mind out business whatever is brought to your door is your business and im yelling at whoever is disturbing me in my home lol.

This situation yes ofc. I honestly stare at parents SO HARD when they see their kids being absolute shit disturbers and not say anything I find it so annoying and distasteful, why would u have kids and not raise them to have manners, and they get so offended when u tell their child to jot throw sand in ur kids eyes. Like HELLO???

Anyone voting "not your place to tell them off" is a bad parent. Good parents like you, know all about teaching right from wrong. Keep shouting at them!

It's not a black & white question: in this case, totally justified.
Hurting my child, I'm gonna shout. Being a danger to themselves or anyone around them, then yeah shouting.
Being irritating or kid like, I might remind them but not shout. I do try to bite my tongue more because I know I'm old school but learning it's not my place to parent other kids.
Recently at a stay & play, another child I know of was grabbing, pushing another child and the (victim) child's mum was in distress, I thought nothing of it to go over and give the kid a telling off, then distracted him away from the situation to help the other mum out, as his mum wasn't anywhere to be seen and its not OK to hurt anyone else.

We had this a couple of weeks ago a bunch of kids shouting and kicking at the door and then ran away , stupid idiots lol ....I get there is such thing as a light knock and then run away like knock down ginger but this was like full on banging and pounding at the door ,I was so annoyed ...
