Upstairs neighbour's kid !!!

[RebelRogue]

My upstairs neighbours let their (nearly 2yo i think?!?) play on the balcony unsupervised. Every now and then the mum will shout "x noooo...nooo...NO!" But not actually do anything else. He throws balls,clothes,dummies,sand(my balcony is full of it) and anything else he can get his hands on in my garden. I normally just throw/give it back and didn't want to make too much fuss. Today i was on the balcony having a fag,feet on the rail when water started falling down and got my feet wet.Again the mum was just nooo..nooo. I got up and looked....he was bloody peeing!! On my feet!! I went totally mad and told her to watch her kid properly and that from now on,all the shit that's theirs in my garden goes straight in the bin. AIBU.

Perhaps he didn't appreciate your smoke blowing up and decided to douse your cigarette

[MTPurse]

Do you have dc?

[RebelRogue]

Portia his parents both smoke ..he can pee on them if he's that bothered

[RebelRogue]

MTPurse yes

[Palomb]

Anyone who doesn't stay within touching distance of an almost 2 year old on a balcony is an utter idiot.

[PortiaCastis]

They shouldn't smoke around a small child. Smoking is vile

[SaucyJack]

Why Palomb?

How can you possibly judge the safety of it without having seen te balcony in question?

[MTPurse]

So You remember what it is like having a toddler? Especially if that toddler has no garden to play in. It sounds like she is trying her best to stop him from throwing things etc. Have a bit of compassion, it sounds like she is doing her best.

[RebelRogue]

She didn't even try to remove him!! She just said no..but he was still on his own in the balcony going at it.

[Ameliablue]

If he's around 2, he's probably at the stage where it is fun to take nappes off and wee everywhere, so whist being wee-ed on isn't pleasant, it will easily wash off so I think you were a bit unreasonable to go mad.
That said it does sound as if the mum should be doing more to stop him throwing stuff onto your balcony, so I can understand why this might have been the last straw.

[RebelRogue]

Amelia i think that might very well be the case...

[Ambivalence]

Can you buy her some mesh to put around the balcony to stop him throwing things - same principle as an air wrap for cot? The mesh to protect fruit bushes from bird would work, attached with cable ties. You offer to put it up for her...

[GraysAnalogy]

She needs to stop letting him mess around on the balcony for starters. ambivalence has a good idea, although I wouldn't be buying her it

" I got up and looked....he was bloody peeing!! On my feet!!"

I'm sorry but that is hilarious!

OP- He's a kid, stuff happens. I think you need to chill out. Its not like his parents have trained him to pee on you on purpose.

[AppleMagic]

I have a pretty unruly two year old and am not a particularly strict parent but I would have zero tolerance for chucking stuff off a balcony.

"I got up and looked....he was bloody peeing!! On my feet!!"

I wouldn't be leaving my toddler on a balcony. If they can throw things off it, they can certainly climb over it.

[Senpai]

if a kid peed on me, I'd get out the hose and get even

[Atenco]

Yeah, OP sometimes you have to laugh.

[HiddenMeaning]

I'm loving the snippy replies.

I think most people, regardless of whether they have kids themselves, would be pissed off to have kid pee on them. It's revolting.

[1horatio]

Our former neighbours kid fell out of the window (the mum was in the garden, the window was open...). He was ... around 20 months, I think?

The LO had "just" bruised ribbs, but only because he landed in my mum's rather cushy flower pot.

YANBU!!!

[MarchEliza]

Pissing on smokers is now fine then

[Chocolatefudgecake100]

Yanbu uve a right not to be pissed on by another persons child x

[Lighteningirll]

Yanbu she sounds careless at best and you have every right to sit in your garden without being peed on

[RebelRogue]

Ambivalence why should i buy her things and set it up for them? Their kid,their balcony,their stuff.

[RebelRogue]

I'm a lot calmer today, OH couldn't stop laughing last night and eventually i started laughing with him lol. But i still refuse to return stuff anymore,that might teach them to actually do smth when their kid does something he shouldn't instead of just saying no.
