Ive found out tonight that a certain neighbour in our street has said the reason she will not let her son "play out" is because she doesn't approve of him socialising with the "kind of children" who play out here. my son being one of them. ds and his friends dared to walk past her car tonight and she was staring from the window as if they were about to graffiti (sp?) it!

my son who is polite, kind and caring, who would not hurt a fly, does not drop litter and would not dream of damaging someone elses property. he's not a little thug, he doesn't swear. he's been brought up just fine thank you very much. we have a nice house, well looked after blah blah blah.

if you don't like council streets (not estate, as we are just a council street in the middle of private houses really) then don't fecking buy a house in one.

maybe it would be nice if she had ever spoken to me before judging my kid

why should i care actually?

Still think you're all being way too judgemental and condemnatory based on an overheard remark, although I don't doubt that people like that exist.

Perhaps she isn't happy about her children playing 'out' under any circumstances. There are plenty of people on MN who find it strange that children are allowed to play outside without parental supervision regardless of who they are playing with.
