Most of us want to go out of our way to be as accommodating to kids as we can be.

Sure, you can play with that toy!

Yeah, go ahead and help yourself to a popsicle!

But we all have our limits…

And when parents aren’t looking out for their youngsters or disciplining them in any way, that gets old in a hurry.

In today’s story, a mom talked about why she’s fed up with a little girl AND her mom who live by her.

Check out what she had to say about this.

Neighbor Kid Has Zero Boundaries.

“This little girl (7) keeps banging on my door.

Her parents always let her out unsupervised.

I honestly don’t care what they do, that’s their business, but if I don’t answer, she’ll keep knocking harder and harder until it’s basically pounding on the door then she asks if my kids can play.

This sounds incredibly frustrating…

If I tell her no, not right now, she’ll keep questioning me about it.

I’ve tried having conversations with her stepmom, who seems to be the one raising her, but it turned into defensiveness, so I stopped trying.

To this day, when I see her outside, she gives off a very standoffish attitude, which again, I do not care about but, your kids? They’re the complete opposite.

I don’t want to be mean to a kid, but this girl is a bit much. I used to let them play together at her leisure until she started being mean to my 3-year-old, playing with my 3-year-old’s toys, and telling her she couldn’t play with her own stuff.

This kid has some issues…

Then, when she decides she’s done playing, she’ll tell my kids, “Stop following me!” or “Leave me alone!” Like no. You came over here.

I always end up talking directly to my kids like, “hey, go ride your scooter or something and let her be” then, several minutes later, she runs back over like, “ok, we can play again.”

The stepmom also doesn’t acknowledge my kids (5 & 3 year old) when they’re let out, which is what really made me draw the line yesterday and go back to limiting interactions.

For example, on my camera footage, after her stepdaughter came over to play, she told her, “let’s go,” and left.

My son just stood there looking lost, and the mom didn’t engage with him at all, which isn’t something I would do if my kid had to leave. I’m usually very short but let the kids know they can play next time or whatnot.

It just never ends…

Just now, we were home and a bit busy helping my husband mount a TV. She banged on my door for at least 2 minutes, left, came back and knocked again, then literally stood there with her ear next to my door.

After that, she grabbed my outdoor broom and started sweeping my front walkway. I had to stop what I was doing, literally go downstairs, open my door, and tell her they couldn’t play.

Again, she questioned why.

This time I told her because we’re upstairs right now. I heard you knocking, but if we don’t answer, that usually means they can’t play at the moment.

At this point, it seems like she has very little guidance, no sense of boundaries, and nobody teaching her basic respect for other peoples’ homes. I feel bad for her, but I’m also tired of dealing with it.”

Yowza…this kid’s mom clearly needs to get ahold of this situation, don’t you think.

It sounds like it’s a recipe for disaster just waiting to happen.

Wise up, lady!

This kid needs some serious supervision!
