AIBU?
to expect neighbour to return my ds's toys from accross the fence and not keep them for her child!

My dc jump on the trampoline with their footballs and a few have gone into next doors garden this has been going on for over a year now. If we go ask for them she sometimes opens door and returns them but most of time she ignores us. Then i have to deal with my 2 ds asking me to get there stuff back from next door which they can clearly see her ds playing with from their bedrooms. I know she is a single mum on benefits even tho bf is around constantly but not reason to take what doesnt belong to her. If dc threw cat poop over would she keep that?? i dont think so.

For a start, its not her place to return the items but it is yours to either call round for them or better still STOP your kids from throwing them over. I'd be really peed off if I was her and this was a regular thing. And that attitude re' her being a single mum on benefits - WTF!!!

Yes, you have top watch us single mums on benefits, we are known thieves. that's why security guards are right to follow us around while we shop with our friends, and that's why you are right to assume that she is keeping your children's misplaced items because she is a single mum on benefits, not because continually clearing your garden of a neighbour's toys is irritating, in any way.

agree, you should stop your kids throwing stuff into her garden, it's rude. She's not running a storage facility for you! And single parenthood and benefits have nothing to do with the subject, or you, for that matter. Keep your nose out of her business and your toys out of her garden.

If you used to be a single mum yourself, why are you using the term as evidence that your neighbour is somehow less worthy than you?
And what on earth are you on about, anyway? First you say your kids are throwing the balls accidentally (or give that impression), now you seem to be saying they are throwing the balls because her kids have no toys. Which one is it?

ok she is a single mum who is also a drunk she has her kid out till 3 in the morning whilst talking to her bf friends who sit outside drinking beer. The fact is we dont knock till after 4 as we know she wont be out of bed. im not some stuck up cow down on single mothers i used to be one and was for 5 years but hubby and i work hard to give our kids the best she can afford things for her child but prefers to buy cans of stella. Most of her windows are smashed from rows with her bf.
