oy!

How can one kid be so angry and violent. I cannot deal with this. I cant let my kids play outside, they gravitate towards other kids. And that would be fine however there are two kids that live across t he street that my kids can get along with but most of the time they don't.  So their Mom (a single mom) and I are friends but the relationship has been strained on and off bc of the kids' fighting.  We have known each other a very long time and it just so happened that her and the kids moved in across the street a few yrs ago. And they've played alot. So they have pretty much been a bad influence on my kids. They swear, talk back, dont listen, and are just rude...an example: walking into my house more times than I can count whenever they want without knocking, in fact in the middle of dinner, ripping my daughters screen on her window, going into an old ladys house down  the road to take lollipops when she wasnt home. They were all together, they knocked on the door,  then some walked in and  took and others'(my kids) stayed on the porch saying NO! Oh and i'm sure theres more, yes there is They attacked  ty and kicked him in the stomach continuously. Somehow my kids are the ones always getting hurt and Ty is taking the brunt of it and Haileys either sticking up for herself or her brothers. I  have grounded them  from playing with them so many times its not funny. At this point they are supposed to be moving soon.   It is so tempting for my kids bc the others have every  toy under the sun. razor scooters,  4 wheelers...and blah. I've tried explaining to my kids that they shouldnt play with people who are mean to them, and that they area bad influence. In fact Tyler was swearing so bad last summer  when he was  2 and 3. I had to wash his mouth out with soap, he did stop but the other 2  never swore.  These kids  moved in after their  impressionable stage. What do I do? When my husband comes home and sees hailey and tys face  i have no clue whats going to happen?! She scratched and cut haileys face it was bleeding. Ty  has a bruise next to his eye, bc the other little girl pushed him off the slide.
