To think my neighbour should of stopped her son?

[SomethingProfound]

This afternoon the little boy who lives next door (about 6 or 7) walked up my drive and banged on my window where my cat was sitting I don't think his intention was vindictive but more curious (in a slightly boisterous manner)

I went out side to ask him not to bang on the window because if he wants to see the cat he can come inside, however I was a little shocked to see his mother standing there, I would have expected her to of prevented her son banging on other peoples windows.

I was a little miffed one as the bang made both me and the cat jump and it was with some force.

AIBU or do I need to relax and accept that sometimes these things happen.

The mother might have told him not to after the event? If you were going to answer the door you may not have heard her tell him off. My ds who is 6 does annoying and bizarre things like that frequently - often before I can stop him!

If I were her I would have apologised though!

YANBU

I would stop my sons doing that.

yanbu.i would have been miffed too.did you say anything to the mother?

She did laughingly apologise , I simply said to the little boy please don't do that again as it scares the cat and me

I was just surprised as i would of been mortified if my DSS had done that.

YANBU for the cat.

But YABU for saying 'should of' when you mean 'should have'.
