You might think you’re doing a perfectly innocent (and positive) thing by encouraging your child to play outside in the fresh air, but think again.
Especially if your child is likely to “laugh and giggle and carry on without end”. (As happy children who are playing tend to do.)
We imagine a mum in Arizona was more than a little shocked when she found this anonymous letter stuffed into her mailbox recently.
Posted on Facebook, the neighbourly note basically let the “inconsiderate” parent know that by allowing her child to “run free” in her own backyard, she was disrupting the neighbour’s two dogs and bird. It also went on to suggest that the mother ask her son to “tone it down a bit” otherwise the police will be called. Harsh.
I don’t know about you but if I received a letter like this, I would definitely be encouraging MORE “disruptive” playtime outside, whatever the weather.
