[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 402646, member: 3493"] I've had CPS called on me by the school, Animal Control multiple times by my psycho neighbors, Department of Health by my former next-door who claimed I was spreading West Nile virus in my kiddie pool (which we didn't empty every night because it was about 50 gallons but we did treat it with chlorine so it wasn't stagnant water), Highway Department (I have a fire hydrant in front of my house and psycho neighbors tried to get it moved over about 10', which would have resulted in my having NO legal parking spots in front of my house - Highway guy told neighbor he could have it moved in front of HER house - she didn't know he was a friend of H's) and I don't even remember everything else. I admit that during the last drought, I called the water dept on psycho neighbors because they were not obeying the odd-even watering rules (you could only water on the day that matches your house number) and were watering their lawn EVERY day. Oh and psycho neighbor once called the police because we had "dangerous" weapons in our yard - it was a pruning shears on a pole so you could cut small branches without needing a ladder. They also called the police one Easter Sunday to report an illegally parked car - my son parked the car by the fire hydrant so he could help my elderly mother in law into the house; neighbor called the cops before he could get back and move it. In my no crime town, the cops were there before son got back outside. Believe me when I say that I can't wait for my kids to be grown so I can move back into Manhattan, where I'll have hundreds of neighbors and not know any of them! Sometimes, you just have to laugh because the alternative is to fall apart. Concentrate on difficult child and tell yourself easy child is going through a phase. Even my "perfect" easy child daughter was a PITA her senior year in HS. She's a college soph now and is apologizing all the time for her selfish behavior in HS, when we were going through agita with ALL 4 of her brothers. [/QUOTE]
