1. Come onto their property and use their swing set without asking.
Yup, it’s that simple. This afternoon, while the kids were napping and Dan and I were enjoying some time to ourselves, our next door neighbor invited neighbors from across the street over to hang out. The across-the-street neighbors — a mother and her two year old — helped themselves to the swing set we have set up on our property.
I’m flabbergasted by the lack of respect, honestly. Since when do you just USE things that belong to others? The swing set is clearly on our property, and we have never invited anyone else in the neighborhood to use it with or without our kids, simply because with the exception of the two year old across the street, all of the other kids in the neighborhood are no younger than six or seven.
This woman has been labeled as an instant low class disrespectful bitch in my book. Dan left for work a few minutes after we noticed her pushing her daughter on the swing set, and he said he would say something to her. I hope he did. I get tired of being the one to deal with the confrontations. Plus, I’m PMSing pretty badly right now. Just ask Dan about it. If I’m ready to rip my own husband to shreds, just what do you think I’d do to some random woman that I don’t even know? Exactly. It’s better if this claw-bearing kitty stays in the house. (Though that may not be such a good idea, because there is incredibly delicious looking fudge sitting in the fridge, and I don’t know if I’m strong enough to stay away from it without the aid of a safe appetite suppressant!)
