Bike ramp into my yard ... here we go again. What a joke this was. Course it was even funnier when the kids all yelled "go get your mom" after I removed it from MY yard. Seeing I have to PAY for the grass seed, I have to plant it, I have to ensure it grows & I have to clean up their mess. After I told their parents not have to them jump their bikes into my yard ... also because I have huge rocks around my garden! Hmm ... makes your wonder about RESPECT or care for their children.
I came home moved the ramp out of my yard, moved all their bs out of my yard ... then cleaned up their dirt pile off the side walk. Then when to sweeping my side walk. I stayed outside so the mother who came out could walk her butt over & say something but she opted not to. Interesting to say the least ... guess, she didn't much care to talk about that.
Pity, because I would have simply told her the same thing I told her in the past. MY yard is NOT for Ramps. They can use the ramp in the parking lot or in HER yard. UNLESS she wants to fix the damage they make in my yard. Or explain to the doc why they split their heads open on the rocks in around my garden, because SHE didn't care. Quite frankly I am annoyed with it.
I do not allow my children to trash other neighbors yards. Nor do I allow them to jump ramps in other neighors yards. I fully expect that respect to be returned. I do not allow my children to dump piles of dirt in other neighbors side walks so they have to clean it up. I find that rude & disrespectful ... they have a yard to play in, they can easily go play there. If they cannot do that, then their parents need to teach them better manners by having them clean their mess up.
My kids recently made a fort right our yard, not in another neighbor's yard. When they were done, they cleaned up the wood & put it back up. They did not leave the mess for some one else to clean it up. Yet, I am consitantly having to clean up mess after mess from these kids. Trash from snacks ... damn use the trash cans out front! Don't leave your bikes at my house ... cause I don't want them. Don't leave your skateboards in my driveway ... my car goes there! Put your basket ball up, cause cars have to drive in the parking lot ... I am tired of having to stop my car or truck to get out & move it so I can get to my house every day! This goes for bikes, skateboards, helmets, various toys ... left in the parking lot. They expect someone else to clean it up because they don't seem to know they have to take responsiblity & clean it themselves!
1/2 the time I have tempted to run over them. But even though I am a bitch ... I have my standards, distruction of other peoples items is below me. I tell my children that you are above the trash. If they act like trash you around them ... if they act like humans then you treat them like humans. If they attack you ... then defend yourself.
My kids go out to play & have fun. I do not encourage fighting, I do not encourage messes, I do not encourage bullies ... yet I have seem them here. I encourage finding out who you are, enjoing life ... knowing who you are & not letting others hold you back. But we also have some rules. We do not make a mess in this world & leave it a mess, after all it supports us & we have to take care of it. (Don't get me wrong I am not a tree hugger -- they have points. But I don't agree with them fully)
Basically, you play nice & we play nice. Cross that & damn you hit a force to be reconned with. Cause this Angel has temper that you don't want to mess with ... ever. I have taught my children to stand up & fend for themselves, if they were able to take care of themselves & me when I had a stroke ... pettiness like this is a walk in the park for them. Basically ... 'watch out cause baby you don't know what you are getting yourself into.'
