My families adventure on the road to oz via Germany

A little annoyed

Today i had the police on my door step wanting to speak to V. A couple of days ago Our eldest was having a bit of bother with the local toerags who were hanging around our drive way.

One of the pains kicked the new car the V had only picked up the day before. When asked the kid admitted he had kicked it and rather cocky said so what to V. With bare feet he aimed a kick at the kid on his backside. Barely made contact, but the kids went running home to his mum. V got his shoes on and went down to speak to the mother and explained why he had done it .

So they called the police wanting him charged with assult, the police however did warn them that their son had caused criminal damage so we could have him charged for that.  The kids round here have no respect for any ones property.  So come the day V gets back home the police want a word with him.

It has got to the stage that my kids are being kept in now just so i can keep them safe. My eldest got attacked the day after the car incident by the lad over the road from us who is nearly my weight. The kids dad even watched it and egged his son on.

I really cant wait to get shot of this place now. WE try hard to bring our kids up with respect for others, for them to be polite . Yet just because we have certain values we have been knocked for it by the locals.

This latest incident is the last straw as far as im concered. This kid who kicked the car was the same kid who broke an expensive patio set which belonged to my parents. I asked for the kid to pay towards the replacement. No joy. They have wrecked the kids trampline pulling the netting down and tearing up the cover over the springs. Its got to the stage that the kids think they can do what they like with no come back. So when V lost his cool with this kid, it looks like he is going to be in bother with the police.

Im trying hard not to let it bother me, focusing on the fact we are out of here soon. Just cant come quick enough.
