[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"I'm in my 50's and my kids are about raised. I never had a neighbor try to tell me how to tend to my yard or raise my kids. And no way do I have any interest in telling younger women how to raise their kids or keep their homes. Not my monkeys, not my circus.

The only time I would notice is if your yard had become an eyesore or your kids were doing something that affected me/my family/my property in a negative way."

DP here.  Now that you mention it, I have definitely seen women of a certain age try to tell younger neighbors how to do things.  I guess the neighbors they were talking to might have looked young for their age, but they were not stupid, so I could see how that would rub someone the wrong way.  They already have parents!

The best/most entertaining happening was when the neighborhood kids (not my neighborhood, a nearby one) were playing what used to be known as "ding dong ditch".  The older women neighbors were positively furious!  I do think some people try to exacerbate a situation - they just like drama.  Not too many younger women have time for that busy body crap.[/quote]

The funny thing is that the biggest complainers about "ding dong ditch" were probably the younger parents who didn't want their little ones woken up after they had just been put to bed.

Older people and especially widows might get startled to have their door bell rung like after dark.  And I can't say that I blame them.  [/quote]
