While I find it strange that

she would be putting the blame on your kid's behavior when hers is just as bad, if not worse - here's my 2c worth.

I would not WANT my kid to play with the neighbor kids if hers were there! I would think that my kid would be told "those kids are not well behaved and if they join in, you come home." If everybody who liked to behave well did that, maybe THOSE boys would quickly learn that if you're going to misbehave nobody will want to play while you're around. And the other neighbor kids can decide who they'd rather play with - the kids who misbehave or the good ones.

It's unfortunate living so close to have to be that way, but honestly, I would not want my kids around them, period. Regardless of who was there first.
