Watch your mouth!

Yesterday my kids were out in the backyard playing. It was great, they were getting along and being really good. I have to be very careful though b/c my neighbors have vicious dogs! I tell my kids whenever they go in the backyard NOT to get close to the fence b/c one of these days they will be lunch for the stupid dogs! Seriously!

So after a little bit I hear screaming and immediately think the worst! I run to the back door and see that their scream are playful ones. Thank God!!! But then later I see that they're getting close to the fenceto play with my neighbor's granddaughter. I open the door to tell them that they can talk to her but please stay back from the fence b/c the dogs were out. As I'm standing there I hear a commotion. I look over and see my neighbor walking towards the fence yelling at her granddaughter for getting the bubbles out without permission. Fine. I've been there done that. It's what she said that had my blood boiling. "Who told you that you could get out the bubbles? Where's the F$%*#ing lid?". Ok...I'm sorry...WHAT? Did you just use the F-bomb in front of MY kids? Get a grip woman; I'll buy you some more bubbles with a lid! Don't be cursing like that in front of *my* kids! She never even looked up so I don't think she knew I was there. If she did I doubt that she would've said it.

I so desperately want to move. Not only can we not mow our grass, take out our trash, play in our own backyard, walk in our driveway, get the mail, get in and out of the car, plant flowers or anything else because of their blood thirsty dogs but now I also have to worry about the language that is used in front of my kids. Gimme a break! Yes, I've cussed in front of my kids before but I try not to. When it's someone else doing it it's disrespectful! I would never do that in front of someone else's kids. You should've seen the looks on my kids' faces! STUNNED!

Now I'm really dreaming about my dream house with no neighbors! Ahhh....

Omg, I would have flipped. There is no need for people to talk like that to (or in front of) a little kid. And really, over bubbles?

I'm sorry you have such awful neighbors!

OH my goodness...that is just awful...I would have a hard time keeping my mouth shut if it were me...I'd tell her to take her bubbles and shove it up her...well you know the rest! Anyways...sorry that happened to you...people are so disrespectful!
