need advice about kids in the neighborhood

I just moved into a new apartment. I have been here 2 weeks on Saturday.

Yes, that new.

Anyway, there is this little boy who will not leave me and my son the hell alone. As soon as he gets home in the afternoon he is outside screaming my sons name at the window. He doesn't come knock to see my son can play, just screams at the window.

If I say no, he continues to scream at the window to talk to my son. He doesn't go away.

I have a baby on the way, not due til Nov but I have a high risk pregnancy. My son is starting a new school. We both still unpacking boxes. Plus I have work.

I don't want this child screaming at my home all afternoon from literally 4 pm til 730 pm everyday.

Would I be rude if I asked him to take me to meet his parents and nicely asked them to not allow him to scream at my home? I don't mind him coming and knocking on the door and asking for my son to play. But if I say no, I need him to respect that and go away.

Side note....I do feel bad for the kid cause he obviously craves attention. But he is driving me nuts!!!

He is 5. And I have told him everyday since we moved in that he may not yell at my home. That he may come ask for my son to play and if I say no then he needs to move on.

i dont think a 5 year old should be outside unspervised anyways! where are his parents?!

I would go talk to his parents and if they didnt do anything about it then I would talk to the management about it!!

I think that would depend on maturity level and type of neighborhood.

Anway, OP just have a heart to heart w/his parents but I would be sure to make it clear that he is welcome to play & knock on the door but that he needs to understand sometimes your son just can't come out to play.

If you have tried to talk to him and explain then I would say talking to his parents would be the next step. Good luck

I dunno. I have never seen them. Just this kid.

I hear them yelling his name sometimes. I assume they live a few building over, cause that's where I hear his name coming from

do u live by me because this boy sounds like my neighbors son! It pisses me off to no end. I would just tell him to go home but that's how I have to be where I live. :/

Talk with his parents or tell him to knock it off ( stern voice). Honestly I wouldn't have let happen more than twice. But I can't stand kids that crap like that.
