My families adventure on the road to oz via Germany

Stressed out to the max

Ive just had a row with the bloke who lives at the back of us. He is putting a complaint to the police about my kids saying they are out of control and i must be a negligent mother.

how i didn't break down in tears in front of him i dont know. i know my kids are no angels but compared to the rest of the kids on the estate they are resonably well behaved.

Yesterday my kids were playing football in the garden, (other people complain if they play at the garages)

any how the ball went over the garden fence in to his garden and he decided to keep the ball, saying he is sick of the ball going over. I appreciate that my youngest at 5 is not a good shot and it goes over the fence and i always tell him to ask for it back politely, sometimes if he is not in he climes over the fence and gets it. I might add with out trampleing on any of his veggies that are growing.

So the i tried to catch him yesterday to sort it out but was un able to.

Well the youngest today went and got  the ball as he could see it in his green house. I already told him off and explained why it was naughty.

All the kids were cheeky telling the bloke they got the ball back. which they got a good telling off for and i told them to apologise.

I do try my hardest to keep an eye on them but as the exam is getting closer im trying to fit in more revision and they have been given a little more freedom than i normally would allow them.

I tried reasoning with the bloke that i do the best with the boys . But he is having none of it, calling me a typical single mother with no control over her kids. i told him i was married and that my husband is in Germany where we will be moving to next month i told them about the punishment ive handed out to them but he has told me to expect the police to call at the house tommorow.

Ive still got tears running down my cheeks , the kids have had a bath early and are in the pys and ive grounded them what more can i do.

This is the last thing i need right now, as if the stress of studying wasnt enough or the sorting out the move to Germany, now this.

Ive just had enough i want out of here.

Such a git!

I wish I lived next to you, I would flick large amounts of cat turd in his garden.

Dont let him get to you, bet he hasnt and wont call the police and if he did, they will laugh at him.

Oh Mandy, just what you need!! I agree with PP though, he won't have called the police, he's just trying to bully you/scare the kids. And, even if he did call the police, so long as your boys weren't damaging anything, hat could they do or say.

Hugs to you mate, sound like you need them.
