[quote=Anonymous]I feel a bit like the neighborhood ogre, but I don't want kids waiting for the school bus on my porch. I wanted to post here to see if I am being reasonable or making a big deal over nothing. I just moved into a corner house in new neighborhood. The house has a school bus stop in front of it. My kids go to another school so don't ride the school bus.   As I walked outside to get the paper one raining morning  I saw two kids on my porch peering in the front door stained glass window. You can't see inside unless you put your face up to the door. I told them to go wait on the corner and they ran off the porch. As I was picking up the newspaper a car pulled up and a girl around 9 ran out of the car and started walking up to my porch. I called out and told her to wait on the corner. Her mom rolled down and the window and said she was only going to be there a minute until the school bus came. I am not sure if she had said this in nicer tone I would have let it go but the entitled attitude tone she said it in pissed me off. I told her kid again in a louder voice to go wait on the corner and the mom drove off. A few days later the same girl stood on my porch and when I went outside she said her mom said it was OK because it was raining. I again told her to go wait on the corner and she was not allowed on my porch no matter what the weather was like. I feel like it is a slippery slope, that if I am not consistent I will have kids on my porch every morning then in the afternoon waiting for their parents. As it is I pick up a lot of food wrappers on the corner and my plants there all get trampled. I figure that is not a big deal but the porch is. Any thoughts? [/quote]
