Annoying neighbors

          There's these two families on my block that would rather play with their kids and let their kids play without them in the street rather than in their backyard or at the park. And I live in a neighborhood where our backyards aren't so huge, but are big enough to be functional. Why put your child in danger by letting them play in the front yard and in the street rather than just taking them to a park? The worst part is, these kids like to shout and scream whenever they're having fun (like any 5-9 year old child) and they have fun RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET where every single house on the block can hear them shouting and screaming, especially when you're someone like me, trying to concentrate on writing this blog while the window is open and these stinking kids are right outside making tons and tons of noise. At least they don't do that during the night or else that would be a viable reason to write a report to the police that they're "disrupting the peace".
         And then there's this one family behind us that are pretty bad, too. Whenever the dad has to make any phone call at all, he goes right to the back fence of his house and starts yapping loudly to whoever the heck he's talking to, So basically, he's standing right at the fence next to our house, talking on his cell phone, loud enough to the point where you can hear him no matter where you are within the house. Pretty great guy. The mother and children are no better, too. Once every two days or so, you can hear the mother (also in the backyard near our fence, also very loud) yelling at and occaisonally screaming at her youngish (5-6 years old) children, who then begin to cry, making even more noise and driving me slowly insane.
        The worst part is, these two situations are from relatively new neighbors who arrived sometime within the last year. So while my early childhood was spared from being annoyed to all hell, I haven't had time to adapt to and become used to these idiots. Also, if you're reading this and you are one of the annoying, stupid neighbors, please know that everyone would like you much, much more if you kept your internal affairs INSIDE your house and not in the middle of the street or in the backyard right next to someone else's property. Thanks.
