[QUOTE="Star*, post: 134055, member: 4964"] OH.....yeah. Totally understand. We lived in a LARGE hick town. And difficult child took the "rap" for more than his share of broken windows, broken doors, fights, dead bats =(yes bat), and general havoc. The first and last time another Mother came to my house to brow beat me for something he own son had done - I handed her my phone and begged her to call the police - when she refused I told her to get out of my yard, off my porch or I'd call the cops myself for her trespassing. She didn't go immediately - but I managed to tell her that she was not welcome at my house and I'd had it with the Stepford wives. They were all stay at home mom - I was a single mom and had to work. The police showed up after she left - she called them from her home. And she followed them back to my house. Cop got out of his car -walked up to my porch...and here she came. I explained to the cop that she wasn't welcome at my home, and that she had been warned not to trespass - and now I wanted her arrested. The police officer told her to leave my yard. She was yelling like a banshee - I was calm and cool. I showed the cop the papers where my son was in the hospital and could NOT have broken her door, but suspected her own "precious" son had. Then I told him all the Moms in the neighborhood have had me running, and fixing, and paying for stuff i was sure my kid hadn't broken. He said he was sorry and if they bothered me again to call him. Then asked if I could have her arrested for verbal assault. The officer said based on what he heard, yes I could. So he walked out across the yard to her (standing there with a smirk on her face) and when he told her to turn around she freaked out. Then he looked back at me asking was I sure I wanted to press charges...and i said "Not if she stays away from me for good." and that was the end of it. He told her to get in the car - the rest of the "meerkats" were peeking out from behind curtains, doors, pretending to get something out of their cars....and the officer said "If YOU have any more problems with your neighbors just call me." That was pretty much the end of it - I moved about 4 months later -OUT =so if I wanted to hang my laundry in the buff I could. That was 8 years ago and while I can't/won't hang clothes in the nude - it's grown up to the point where I can see a neighbor. Next time I'm getting a house so far out - you'll need mapquest advanced to find us. [/QUOTE]
