A woman has been told to refuse a request of her ‘brutal’ neighbors who asked to place the trampoline of their children in her garden.
The anonymous woman, who is assumed to come from the UK, went to the parenting forum Mumnetasking colleagues from the British parenting site for their opinion.
In her post she wrote: ‘So where I live, the local farmer has assigned a little extra garden at the back of the houses.
‘At the moment I only do the grass while I decide what to do with it.
‘So next door I asked me today if they can put on a trampoline in my piece of garden.
‘Some of me think that say yes, because their garden at the back of their house is terrible and full of junk. But then a bit starts in operation and does not think that your own garden is not. Advice please. ‘
The majority of respondents thought that the neighbor had been extremely cheeky to ask – and that refusal was the obvious answer.
One said: ‘Tell your neighbor to get lost !! To be honest, some people are so brutal. ‘

Another added: ‘Absolutely no. You will never get them out. Why don’t they just clean up their own garden to set up the trampoline! Some people! ‘
A further mumsetter wrote: “Laugh and say no or laugh and tell them that they are brutal tuckers and free their own garden if they want a trampoline.”
“You would clearly be angry to even think about it to say yes,” another chimde in it.
A further commentator wrote: ‘So they have filled their garden so full of junk that they can no longer fit. And now they want to fill yours? ‘
And a highly formulated reaction said: “Why would you even talk about this? The answer is no. They must use their own garden. ‘
“Absolutely no way,” wrote another commentator on a similar spirit. ‘You will have trouble winning it back someday. As you say, they have to sort their own garden. ‘
The message from the anonymous mumsetter asked people to share their thoughts about her difficult situation with her neighbors
The majority of the respondents thought that the neighbor had been unreasonable to ask – and that the poster should refuse
‘In my experience, no good deed remains unpunished. No would be my response, “another added.
Some suggested that if she let her neighbors use her garden, this can lead to problems.
One said: “Absolutely not. I wouldn’t do it because it’s your country to use the way you want.
‘If they want their children to have a trampoline, they can clean up their own garden.
“Apart from that, I would be concerned about legal liability if the child is injured while or your country.”
Another agreed and added: ‘You don’t want a trampoline in the neighborhood or certainly not on your property. Not at the end of your garden, not nearby.
“It’s not just the sound. They are terrible accidents waiting. ‘
Some mumneters found that there could be serious consequences if the poster let her neighbors use her country
A small number of posters offered an alternative picture and said they didn’t feel that the neighbor had been brutal to ask
A third wrote: ‘Absolutely not. What if someone hurts himself on your property. Tell them no, you have plans for it. Partition it off if you can. ‘
However, some thought it was a fair question for the neighbors to ask.
They wrote: ‘I don’t think it’s brutal to ask: don’t ask, don’t go. But you are good within your rights to say no. If you don’t want it, you don’t have to have it and I wouldn’t because you will never get rid of it. ‘
Another agreed with it and wrote: “I don’t think it’s especially brutal, but I wouldn’t agree because you’ll never get the country back.”
A further respondent suggested: “Just say OK for half the term, but it will have to be gone after Sunday and you can’t host it at any other time.”
