Oh my goodness, my heart breaks, my eyes cry, my ears hurt, my blood pressure is up just reading your post, makes me cringe.
DH & I certainly didn't plan it but we now find ourselves living in the midst of college kids all around us. Our neighborhood didn't start this way but as the old folks die out, the 40-50 yr somethings think it's a great way to cash in, buy up these homes and become slum lords to the college somethings.
They don't ride their bikes in our driveway, instead think it's perfectly okay to park their lexus and beemers in our drive blocking our garage doors. They weren't taught what a garbage can is as they think our front yard is where the trash goes - this trash OFTEN is very cheap beer cans and LOTS of them. Last weekend while sitting on my couch I watched one of the girls next door (or else a female friend) who decided instead of using one of at least 2 bathrooms chose to hang her head over the backyard railing a puke last night's cheap beer. Lovely scene while I was trying to eat my brunch.
Yes I truly sympathize and oh so many times threatened to my husband to move. Well of course he wants no part of that. We love our home, our yard. Like you we were not brought up to be like kids of any age these days to act up like the kids do now regardless of age.
The girl next door should be darn glad I didn't see her on Monday because I would have definitely said someting to her. What a down right disgusting thing she did - not once but twice that I happened to see.
And yeah, little kids screaming at the top of their lungs? No I'm sorry to say they carry this act into their drunken immature adult life too. Screaming little *itches at 2-3-4 in the morning is what we listen to any given football Saturday shreaking at the top of the lungs sounding like they're being murdered or something. Oh, and don't forget the music needing to be blaring because they've all gone deaf due to the decibels.
I don't know what the answer is. I do know it's very sad that we have to resort to moving however.
