Do you ever feel like you are always the one in the wrong/think differently?

Example: (cut down!)
My neighbours kid climbs up and hangs over the fence being very noisy and irratating screaming (repetatively) at our bunnys (he has 4 of his own amongst the hoards of pets), now i am a childminder so am not adverse to kids but i get replys like 'you obviously hate kids' why don't you get rid of the rabbits' 'why dont you move house'??? i mean really is this the way people think nowdays? what happened to keeping kids under control as such?

It MUST be ME!!

Little tip I learned from earlier in the week.

Smear some !!!!!! along the top of the fence.
That should keep the little sod away.

I talk to dh about things in life, i talk to my sister, brother and friends..we all seem to think the same when it comes to answers of things..BUT i use this and another forum and when i ask something i am really suprised at the replys tbh and feel i am the only one who feels like i my friends & family do..

it's just that there's a little troll in all of us that enjoys an argument from time to time, so people are mo re likely to voice an opinion that gets an argument going, because they see it as 'exciting' when in real life they'd not have the nerve to say to your face "don't you like kids, then?"

Of course in 'real' life, the people here who are constantly disagreeable probably don't have much of a life, that's why people are on here stirring up trouble. Filter out their replies, and you'll find that some people are here to offer advice, suggestions, support and constructive criticisms, not just poke a stick at a thread that isn't even a hornet's nest in the first place.;)

I feel like that all the time, maybe not on here but in 'my outside MSE life'!!

I think, at the grand old age of 23, that I'm old fashioned!! I hate people who smoke in their house if they have kids, I don't believe in packing kids off here there and everywhere just to have some 'me time' and I certainly do not believe that just because kids are kids, there is any reason to be rude or spiteful!

You may be old fashioned,but it's a shame there's not a lot more like you out there.

That how i feel too, although i regularly type a response out to vent my anger at some of the post's then delete them as i know it would give them satisfaction. Especially ones that completely miss the point of a post,because their to busy nagging each other over something completely irrelevant to the thread.(money threads turn in to arguments about gas & elec etc)

Do you do that too?:rotfl:

I spend more time typing then deleting and moving on than anything else!

I saw one terrible horrible response the other day from some jumped up little smug madam I couldn't hold myself back and ripped her a new one. Then I deleted the post before publishing it, got off the computer and went and planted tomatoes.

That's inspired!

The kid's next door have a trampoline they use to look at us and bounce/climb over into our garden 'to play' breaking the shiplap fencing as they go.

I also have five footballs that have landed in various places I can't be bothered to lob back. At one point they were coming over constantly in the afternoon and I was being shouted at to retrieve them. As we have chickens, it wouldn't be unexpected to find !!!!!! on the balls that do go back. thanks MrCow.

I had a golf ball land on the conservatory roof the other day. Bast-wards.

It seems like everytime I'm out shopping there's at least one child either screaming, demanding things off the parent or racing around as though they're in a playpark! I don't understand why some parents allow this? When mine were young (they're now an adult & teenager) they either sat in the trolley or walked alonside me in shops, I certainly wouldn't have tolerated behaviour like that.

Another bugbear is lately I've been using the bus more and it's often full so I've had to stand, along with others. I've got no problem with that but there's often a child sitting in a seat and not once has the mother told the child to stand up so that an adult can sit down. I thought there was a rule that children had to give up their seats for fare paying passengers? Even if there isn't such a rule it's just good manners!

Yes, children are children and at times they misbehave but surely it's our job as parents to raise them to be responsible well mannered members of the community and to respect other people?
