[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank God this isn't my life. Get a job OP and stop obsessing over inane Pinterest nonsense.[/quote]

eh, you can't assume that Op is a SAHM.  In fact, this sounds like classic over compensation to me.

Op, do you work?[/quote]

I don't know why this matters so much, but I am a SAHM.

OK, apparently people don't like this tradition. OK, message received. I thought it was something fun for kids. My kids love it, and I don't know a single kid who wouldn't like a fun little surprise and some treats.

I was wrong to use the word "weird" about my neighbor. I should have found a better way to describe her. I did say stand-offish, I guess that's what I meant. We have kids who like playing together, she's nice, but she's hard to get to know and doesn't seem to get in the spirit of things sometimes. She's the mom at the block party who doesn't talk much. That's what I meant. I shouldn't have said "weird." That was the wrong word.

I didn't know people could be annoyed by something so small and harmless, but I guess I'll stop. I do appreciate some of the feedback, but some of you are downright nasty.[/quote]

The problem is that you were starting a tradition for a neighbor that you admittedly do not know well.  While your intentions were good, your neighbor is apparently a reserved person who prefers not to participate in this "booing".  She simply might not have the time nor the mental energy to add yet one more duty to her already full plate.  She could have been loading up her car to make an overnight trip to visit a sick parent for all you know.

At any rate, she has made it clear that she is not participating this year.  That should be good enough.  If you have neighbors who are interested in doing this - boo them. [/quote]
