The generations are colliding in suburban neighborhoods all throughout the country. Well actually, they aren’t colliding nearly as much as they should be. My parents live in a typical suburb that you’d think would be populated mostly by families. Well unfortunately most young families with children can’t afford to live in such a suburb, leaving …

Mom defends 6-year-old son after dad insists on grounding him for protesting that he didn’t steal his 8-year-old neighbor’s bike: ‘He needs to listen, even when he doesn’t agree’
Many people struggle to align with their long-term partner when it comes to kids. These days, the question of whether both people want to have them at all is often difficult enough, and if they do, then come the challenges of making sure that parenting styles are aligned. It is often said that having children …

Parents refuse to pay their 15-year-old babysitter the full amount they owed her because they thought her tank top was inappropriate: ‘$50 does not feel like enough money for 2 kids and 7 hours’
Being a teenage girl is all about adults constantly telling you that your clothes are «inappropriate,» even when they are nothing of the sort. I do not envy the days in my life when I was dress-coded by my nefarious theater teacher for the crime of wearing solid black leggings to the 8th grade. He …

Mom bans 5, 7, and 13-year-old neighbors from her lawn after they repeatedly threw things at her house, friend accuses her of taking away their place to play: ‘They don’t have much of a yard’
Nobody wants to become a caricature of an old man, yelling at kids to get off his lawn. So many neighborhoods are hostile to children playing that they just don’t anymore, opting to stay inside and play on their iPads instead of getting the cops called on them for riding their bikes, .2 miles away …

24 Neighbor Memes That Won’t Spy On You Through You Through a Fence
Neighbors—we have to live with ‘em, even when we really don’t want to. In the city, you’re living above or below someone (or sometimes even both). In more rural, suburban areas, you have to deal with HOAs and neighbors who refuse to clean dog stuff off of their lawns. The neighbor life isn’t easy, but …

Neighbor regrets allowing entitled kids to use their swimming pool after they keep breaking the rules, decides to revoke their access: ‘I told them to get out’
One makes a lot of poor choices when one tries to be a good person. Not to say you shouldn’t try to be a good person, the world is definitely better when people do that, it’s just that you should at least expect people to take advantage of your kindness. If you’re too nice, it …

32-year-old man calls cops on 2 and 7-year-old children playing outside unattended, neighbor responsible for the kids screams at him for not letting them into his house: ‘The officer just let her leave with the boy and didn’t even go talk to the parents’
I hate that we live in such a surveillance culture. I understand parents wanting to protect their kids as much as they can, but forbidding kids from playing outside independently has a hugely negative impact on children. If they feel safe playing in their neighborhood without needing to ask their parents every five seconds if …

25-year-old woman hides her 7-month-old baby from her boyfriend, sobs and bangs down his neighbor’s doors after he breaks up with her: ‘We had been seeing each other for a few weeks and I had no idea she had a baby’
One thing that nobody told me about becoming an adult is how common it is for people in your life to date deadbeat parents. My friend had been dating this girl for two months before he casually mentioned that she had two kids who lived in Florida with her ex and his parents. It’s hard …

Daughter demands inheritance after mom leaves everything to neighbor instead: ‘I never expected me to be the only person who Valorie left in her will’
We could all use a little bit of an inheritance in our lives. And with the economy today, we could really use a little… like, right now. You could end up as one of the lucky ones who inherits a fortune, or you could get stuck with a distant relative’s antique spoon collection. But what’s …

Entitled driver refuses to stop making noise with car, faces payback when next door neighbor decides to move his fire pit: ‘I’ll do what I want in my own yard’
Just like with family, you can’t choose your neighbors (at least, that is the case with most places). When moving someplace new or having a house or apartment near you change the occupancy, it’s often a case of praying the people who live near you are decent and hoping for the best. Otherwise great living …
