Not sure if TFP allowed question - delete if not - but we moved to a new neighborhood few years ago and have maybe 70% older people vs 30% younger couples with kids living around us. We built an inground last year. Last year our neighbor told us that when our kids (3 and 5 year old boys ) and sometimes their friends are in our backyard playing in a pool - they (our neighbours) can’t enjoy their backyard and we should learn how to control our kids better (ie make sure they are quiet) ?. Kids usually start using the pool around 3pm after school and inside the house by 5:30pm for dinner and bath.
My question is how would you deal with this situation ? We never had a pool before so not sure if I am supposed to tell my kids off for making noise lol (but how can you NOT make noise when you are in the pool lol).. I don’t want to tell kids to stop playing tag or jumping inside the pool cause neighbour can’t enjoy his glass of wine at 3pm. We have noise by laws but they kick in after 7pm when the kids are in bed .
Thanks
