Children chalking over our land

[Charliec12]

Hi all, am I over reacting? My neighbours brought their children some chalks at the weekend. The children are chalking everywhere with them including on my driveway which we half share with them. My OH said to one of the children tonight that the area looked a mess. Said child started crying and then the Mum came out and was confrontational and annoyed with me that I don’t agree with it looking nice in the area. I also have 2 young children and I get they want to have fun.

It must be nice to be perfect 🙄

Yep no need to insult people

I disagree. Sometimes there’s no conversation to be had and a prat just needs to know that they’re being a prat.

How am I a prat for calling out abusive behaviour?

25 pages. Blimey.

Enough with the LAND!

It's a drive! Not 'Land'!

Drive, land whatever. They should do it in their areas.

I'm hardly suggesting you need to be perfect, there is a very, very large gap between your level of childish behaviour and decision making and then blaming the resulting feelings of inadequacy and frustration on the local toddlers, and perfection.

Nothing to do with you though really is it? People make mistakes and move on. My husband is a wonderful man thanks. As mentioned many times he apologised for his reaction last night to kids drawing near our house and on our driveway.

Nothing to do with you though really is it? You sort of make it about everyone when you post on a public forum and ask for people's views and opinions.

This is about chalk

Your husband isn’t a wonderful man, he’s a spiteful bully and I would be embarrassed by his behaviour. Your own children are going to be ostracised by the local community. I hope you’re happy about that.

No. This is about you making children cry and picking needless fights with your neighbors.

Well, if you have posted other threads then you are also leaving yourself open to people bringing those into this thread.

It's how it works.

Good to see you believe in respecting your areas.

I don’t agree and Mumsnet take a dim
view on that. They have deleted many comments today.

Why do you have "land", but other people have "areas"? It's really odd.

In January you posted that you'd been unhappy in your marriage for 5 years.
In 2022, you posted that you were having difficulties with the man you'd been seeing for 6 months.
In 2021, you posted that you'd been sexting your colleague.
Is that how you treat your "wonderful" husband?

It's relevant because you are making a huge fuss over something you consider unattractive on your driveway, whilst your own life and behaviour is very ugly.

If they took such a dim view of it then they probably wouldn't allow for a search function that enable people to look back at your other threads.

is that what you’re doing? Or are you justifying you’re (and your bf’s) own rude superiority (which some might classify as abusive too tbh).

🤣😂

Agree but still to swear at a stranger on here really? Not saying you.

Once again this post is about chalk. Yes there have been past issues we are working on but this post is not about that. People can change their lives you know and improve them.

All the problematic main characters are the same. It's another episode of the drama series.

Of course yes you can compare chalk to marriage issues

Let's not forget she dated a guy for 6 months who had depression when her child was a baby during her 5 year marriage.
