The kids looking after their own?? The kids are OFTEN in my back yard, playing with my daughter, and using my things. It's not uncommon for me to be sitting in my bathroom on the toilet and end up having a neighbor kid come bursing in to use the bathroom. I have walked into my kitchen to find neighbor kids, even with out my daughter present, digging in my fridge or freezer for food or popcicles. They feel free to use my stuff, trash my house and yard, and then be mean little brats to my daughter. I do not see that as looking after their own. My daughter did nothing other that repeat a child's name because they were being rude enough to ignore her. Why? I have no clue.
After talking to Parent A we find that they hold that the kids did not even know that I found the contraband and that she and her husband claimed to have found it. This puts everything in a new light. The kids did not even suspect my daughter of having reported the stuff - supposedly.
Also - so what do I do now?? The parent who got upset about me yelling has done her share of yelling at MY child as well and I looked past it. What she expects from me needs to be what she gives as well.
