I've had the garden turned into a camp site and three children sleeping in tents aged 14. They were fast asleep by midnight. I've just had an elderly neighbour knock the door, I've left the outside security light on so they have light, it is mainly on my back garden but lights up around a little bit not
much. The children felt safer
He has told me to turn off the security light as it is keeping him up. I said don't be ridiculous it is 1 o clock in the morning and close your curtains.
He says it is a hot night and he shouldn't have to close his windows. I say leave your windows open use your curtains to block the light.
He says, if you don't turn off the lights I'll be back at 3 am and you wont like what I'll do, there are consequences and you wont like them"
I feel like that is a threat, one of the children heard it and was scared, I've woken all three children, got them inside and left the light on.
AIBU for thinking this w shouldn't be allowed to make veiled threats, scare one child and force me to get the other two in from their sleeps in the garden just to make sure this tosspot doesn't follow through with his threats which he says will happen at 3 am?
The kids and me were asleep, it was just the security light, it's not like they were causing any trouble.
What do you think? Excuse typos sleepy typing.
