I am perfectly open to being told I'm stupid and need to mind my own business. I do have curtain twitcher tendancies. But please do it nicely - I'm a bit delicate right now.
There's a house a few roads away which I walk past fairly regularly. A family live there, I don't know them but I have seen a woman, a baby and maybe a 10 year old boy and maybe a 6 year old boy. I don't know if anyone else lives there.
It's fairly common to hearing shouting coming from the house. It's mostly just general shouting and you can't tell what about and I don't know if it's angry or excited or playing shouting or what.
A few months ago it was raining and I walked past some time after the school drop off. The 10 year old was sat huddled in the porch, soaking wet and looking very sorry for himself. I walked past but something was bothering me so I walked back to check on him but he was gone.
A few days later I saw the woman herding them from the car into the house and she was really giving the 10 year old a hard time, properly shouting at him. He just looked so broken. What I saw was out of context so she may have had a good reason.
Since then I've seen her stood at the door refusing to let him come in because he was meant to be out playing. Again, he looked upset.
I don't know the background of any of this and have no way of finding out. I know what I've seen are just snippets and may be completely reasonable when taken in context - although I'm struggling to find a reason for him sat outside so wet.
But something is bothering me about it all. I may have just got my knickers in a twist over him being so wet and then looking just so, so sad the next time.
Am I being silly worrying and if not, what can I actually do?
