EM breaks into my backyard to use my swimming pool.

Background:

I just recently had a new family move into my neighborhood, the neighborhood is relatively small and close knit. The kind of neighborhood where everyone knows everyone and we generally all get along well. We have big block parties and shoot off fireworks together on holidays. The new family is a middle-aged couple with their four children. The kids ages range from around 14 to 2. This incident is just the first of several problems that I have had with this family since they move in.

EM- Crazy Mother

K1- One of her kids around 14

Me- The one and only me

I was hanging out in the living room just relaxing and watching tv. From the couch I have a clear view into my backyard. That's when I notice the retractable cover of my swimming pool begin to roll up. I was home alone with no one else that has access to my backyard. For insurance reason I have a lock on my back gate because of the pool. The gate always remains locked as we would be liable if anything was to happen in the yard.

I rush outside and see what's going on. That's when I see EM standing next to my pool with her four children. They are dressed in their swimsuits and EM is rolling up the cover of my pool.

Me-  Excuse me what do you think you're doing in my backyard?

EM- My kids have been well behaved today and they want to go for a swim. I saw that you have a pool so we are going for a dip.

Me- This is not a public pool EM and you are on my private property. I need you to get out of my backyard now. I never told you that you are allowed to come on my property without permission.

EM- WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? IT IS A VERY HOT DAY AND MY KIDS WANT TO GO FOR A SWIM AND THEY WILL.

Me- Not in my private pool they will not. How did you even get in my yard anyway? The gate is locked.

EM- FUCK OFF! IN MY OLD NEIGHBORHOOD WE DID THIS ALL THE TIME. MY KIDS ARE GOING FOR A SWIM NOW AND YOU WILL NOT EVEN KNOW WE ARE HERE. YOU ARE JUST BEING SELFISH AND I WILL NOT ALLOW MY BABIES TO SUFFER BECAUSE OF YOUR BAD MOOD.

Me (now angry)- I will not ask you again EM. You either get the hell off my property now or I will call the police. You are not using my pool and that is final.

EM (finally gets the cover off)- Okay kids jump on in. Don't listen to this stupid b***h.

K1- Yeah you stupid b***h. We are going for a swim now and you can't stop us.

Me- THAT'S IT! I AM CALLING THE POLICE.

EM now sees that I am serious and tries to 'reason' with me.

EM- You would really not allow four kids to go for a swim on a hot day. What kind of heartless person are you? Just let us go swimming for an hour and we will leave. Don't you want to be a good neighbor to us?

Me- No I do not. You just broke into my backyard without permission? Please get off my property now.

EM starts to mumble something to her kids and then she grabs her two youngest kids and she starts to walk out of my yard. I then turn around and see her two oldest boys still standing my the pool. I start to walk over to tell them to go with EM and that's when I see what they are doing. Her two oldest hell spawns are PEEING into my pool.

K1- MAYBE THAT WILL TEACH YOU TO BE A BETTER NEIGHBOR YOU STUPID B***H.

Me (grabs the arms of the two oldest and pushes them out the gate)- GET THE FUCK OFF MY PROPERTY YOU DISGUSTING LITTLE SHITS.

EM- DON'T YOU DARE LAY A HAND ON MY BABIES OR I WILL CALL THE POLICE ON YOU. WHO DO YOU THINK THEY WILL BELIEVE? A GOOD MOMMY OR A PATHETIC LITTLE B***H LIKE YOU. YOU JUST GOT WHAT YOU DESERVE. ENJOY SWIMMING IN YOUR PISS POOL.

They then all walk off laughing as they went back to their house. I was in complete shock and I didn't know what to do. I now wish I called the police after this first incident, but I sadly didn't and things have since escalated with this family.

Remember how I said that I had a lock on the gate? I later found it broken on the ground. I have no idea what they used to smash it, but they were successful. I have since purchased a much more heavy duty lock.
