[QUOTE="pigless in VA, post: 685407, member: 11832"] Copa, you are astute. I knew this neighbor and I weren't going to be friends from a conversation the two of us had when she first moved in. Our boys were 3 years old at the time and she told me that #1 no 3 year old should still be wearing diapers (my kid was), #2 she only allowed her child to play with one toy at a time and #3 she left all her breakables out in her house because "a child should learn not touch things." I have a completely different parenting style from her. My kid did eventually learn not touch things, but not at age 3. We have many clashes over the yard. If sticks fall from my trees, she tosses them over the fence. When they erected the picket fence, I got no warning. They tromped all over my irises. I would have preferred that they had told me what they were planning to do, so that I could have moved the flowers. My tulip poplar is a huge bone of contention. It had the audacity to drop a limb on her glass patio table. As a concession, I had my arborist trim it up some. I'm sure she would rather that I cut it down. The magnolia leaves are constantly littering her grass, and so are the pine tags and cones. At least the neighbors on the other side of me are more forgiving. hmbgal , I'm glad your daughter is okay. Tell her from me that MOST three year olds are obstreperous. A mommy group would do her a world of good and give him an outlet for all that energy. I taught preschool for 9 years; I've known a lot of 3 year old little people. [/QUOTE]
