Ok so i have a pool, and its big and its really nice, and so, yano its summer, and i always swim in it and junk, but we have these neighbors, down the street, and we dont see them all of winter, they dont call us, or anything, there bdays are in the winter, and they never ever invite my brothers to them [there my brothers age] and so, then though when its summer, there mom will call, and be like the boys are gonna come down and just take a 10-20 minute dip. and were like wtf, no. ok well we dont say that, but we always lie and say we just put chemicals in or something. and they keep asking. i mean, dont get me wrong, its not like i care if people swim in my pool, but they atleasst gotta be my friends, yano? i mean, there tottaly just using us. and then there mom was like to my mom "yeah, were not even renewing our rec passes, because we figure we can just go swim in your pool, whenever we want." and my mom just looked at her. and they break all of our stuff too. like our baseketball hoop, they put a big hole in it. and whenever my brothers like call and say wanna play over ur house, they say no. we'll only play at ur house, where we can swim. so i mean yeah, there obviously using us.
HOW DO WE FIX THIS? what do we say? we dont want to be rude.

I mean, your mom could say "yeah we have to clean it" or "were busy" stuff like that. I guess it would be a bit much to say "no we don't like you using it" but it will probably eventually come down to that. It is very obvious that they are using you. Your mom should have a talk with their mom. Maybe bring all of this up & how she feels used because they don't let you guys come over but they can come over whenever. That way it will be an adult conversation & things can be settled.
