WIBU to tell the neighbour kid to fuck off

[HerRoyalFattyness]

Disclaimer for those who need it: I wouldn't actually tell a kid to fuck off

Today I am ill. I woke this morning and was sick. A lot. It hasn't passed. So I've phoned work to tell them I'm sick.
All good.
The kids dad decides to take the kids out for a bit so I can sleep.
My oldest is 8. His friend from over the road saw them leaving.
4 fucking times in the last hour and a half this child has knocked on my bastard door, meaning I can't sleep.
I've told him repeatedly that DS1 will be out once he's home and that I will get him to call for him.
Argh! As I'm typing, he's knocked again.

WIBU to yell out of my bedroom window "fuck off, I'm not well and want to sleep, go find some other poor sod to bug"

Ooh this would boil my blood. Yes open the window and tell him to go away and not knock again. Maybe throw stuff.

Vomit out of the window on his head if he knocks again .

I've nothing to throw that won't knock the little shit out, and unfortunately I'm a nursery nurse, so hurting kids would end up with me being jobless.

Although puking in his head could work.

Put earplugs in and stop answering! Some kids are so weird with this sort of thing- don't seem to realise they are pestering/being annoying.

Yes shout out of the window to stop knocking. Have you got any ear plugs? I find they help me zone out when I need to sleep. Hope you feel better soon.

I have ear plugs in.
I have suspected autism and the world is very loud. I hear everything through the ear plugs

Can you go across the road in your nightie, looking like death, and knock on his parents door and tell them he needs to pack it in?

mino he lives with his grandad, who really has no idea what day of the week it is half the time.

You might need to have a word with the kid's Mum, if he keeps knocking. Especially as you have made it crystal clear that your son is not there. 4 times.
When I am sick, I am a nightmare and would probably incredibly rude to the poor child :o

Tell him firmly that he must not knock on the door again today. Have a very stern look on your face and also say that if he doesn't do as you have asked your ds will not be allowed out to play with him when he is back,
Although, if you keep answering the door he will keep knocking.

fan his grandad is doing his best, but the kid doesn't listen to him. My DS1 is the first friend he's ever had. He has behavioural problems since his mum decided she wanted a family with her new boyfriend and left him with his grandparents. Then his grandma died, leaving him with just his very frail grandad to care for him
I think he's just really desperate for someone to play with. I do feel for him.
But...

I want to fucking sleep

I've ignored him since he last knocked. He's still knocking. Another 2 times since I posted. And I haven't answered the door or shouted.

YANBU, but he's been left to live alone with a frail and unaware (at best) granddad? Kid needs some help. Possible SS enquiry?

Already done. They're involved already and I phoned a few months ago to see if they'd listen to an outsider saying they may need some extra support, but obviously I don't have details of if they did or not.
Like I said, he's lonely and DS1 is the only friend he's got

If he lives alone with a frail and not-with-it grandad, he might need help.

You do need to go round to grandad, either to reiterate that door knocking is not on or to check that he is being cared for. The child is perhaps hungry and not being fed - people who lose track of days also lose track of time

Kids are home now. I can hear them in the street.
Want to place bets on how long before the kid knocks again?

I find this post so sad 😢

I almost want to ask where you live and come round and give the poor kid a cuddle!

Not the intention of your post I know OP, but it really does sound like the kid and his Grandad need some help. How long ago did the Grandma die?

Hope you feel better soon.

Sorry cross posted!

i get that you're ill, but there is more than just cheekiness going on here. The child might actually want YOU. YOu are now the only female around. His mother is gone and his grandmother is dead, and he's wandering the streetslooking for someone to be with. Children need company.

His mother probably never explained to him that he is being rude. Tell him not to blink I anymore or he will not be allowed to play with your DC.

No, I don't want to place bets on how long before the kid knocks again. He's clearly lonely.

beco I know, which is why I phoned ss.
When I can, I invite him for tea and make sure his grandad knows where he is etc. But I work 45 hours a week and have 3 kids of my own so it's difficult.

He's just knocked now. ds1 explained that he had kept me awake by knocking.
He apologised and started to talk to him about plants vs zombies. I told them instead of standing on the doorstep talking, either go tell his grandad he is here and come in, or DS1 go out to play.

Call 101 and report a breach of the peace
