Neighbours played on our swing set without asking

"They just play like they f**king like they own it, like it's a communal backyard just because we don't have fences."

A mum has filmed her neighbour's kids playing on her family's swing set, and asked the internet if she's overreacting or if it really is strange behaviour. 

While crouching down and hiding in her own home, she sneakily films the kids trespassing in her backyard.

"Do other people’s neighbours do this? We have an open backyard, which means that there are no fences, so our neighbours just come into our backyard and literally play on our structure and don't ask us," she began the now-viral video. 

"They just play like they f**king like they own it, like it's a communal backyard just because we don't have fences."

"Am I crazy?"

She says that the first few times they did it, her own kids went out and played with them, so she let it slide.

But after they've continually come over, she's gotten fed up. 

"They have a pool. What if I just, what if they came home, and I was just in their f*cking pool like this is so weird to me!" she mused.

Then there's the liability issue... "What if one of them gets hurt? Then our homeowner’s insurance [is] the one that’s getting sued!"

She says that her husband thinks she's overreacting so she wants to know, "Am I crazy, or is my husband just too nice?"

The mum then films the kids (and their parents, who were there the whole time) walking away from the swing set and back to their house.

It's truly a bizarre scene.

"They gotta go"

"I would 100% be in that pool if only to prove a point," one user wrote. 

"This would drive me crazy," said another. "I can't believe how entitled some people are. Not even giving the courtesy of asking first."

"They gotta go," insisted someone else. 

A different woman pointed out, "It would be one thing if it was my neighbours that I’m besties with - otherwise, it’s a no from me."

In the comments, the mum clarifies that she doesn't want to confront her neighbours about this, ("they're too nice") but she's more just worried about the liability issue.

She wrote: "They're super nice and I don't want any bad blood and I don't want to be 'that neighbour', but I'm like, please don't sue me."

Others also encouraged the mum to go outside and gently speak to the parents and ask if they realise they're playing on a private play structure and it's not a communal playground.
