Anyone else out there live in a neighborhood with a bunch of kids who just want to fight and get into trouble?
Okay Okay I know most of us live in houses with kids who don't want to do anything but that.
Seriously, if it's not one thing it's another. difficult child and girlfriend and another male friend were walking around the neighborhood a few days ago. The friend seen something in a driveway and picked it up. Some boys at a different house seen him and started walking after them. One kid was about 20, according to difficult child. Anyway difficult child stayed back away from the chaos and even his girlfriend said she was surprised he didn't get in the middle of it. The friend put the item back.
Since then those boys have been walking around the block daily looking for friend of difficult child just to fight him I guess. Yesterday they all ended up in front of our house. difficult child was inside with girlfriend and different friend, I told difficult child not to go out the front door, told his friend same - they listened and stayed inside and the kids that were out front left.
This kind of turmoil is happening at least once a week around here, and it is making me a bundle of nerves and exhausted.
I really wish I could find something to keep difficult child busy 24/7. I may be able to keep him busy some of the time but not all the time.
We live in a small "hick town". I know trouble, drugs and violence are everywhere but geez.
Thanks for listening -
