Juli - are we neighbors? That guy sounds like the fellow across the street. Last week my husband (who admits he's not very tactful) went over to talk to the guy about his grandson, who lives with them, and our 9 yo. First the grandson, 11 yo, PLAYS with a BB gun around his cousins (5, 3, & 1) and our two guys. The play consist of target practice with no supervision and with the other kids in front of the gun. When I saw this I called my kids away and the mother to the 3 little ones remarked that she can't say anything to the 11 yo because he doesn't lister to her. Huh? Forget him, why doesn't she remove her kids from the situation??? Second, it seems that anytime all these kids are together, including ours, the little ones are always hurt. Well our 9 yo is no saint and very much a follower of whatever any older boy does and will quickly attach himself to older boys and take up their interests and mannerism (ie. within a few days of hanging
out with this kid, he liked the other kids music and wanted to wear baggy pants with his boxers showing; he hates wearing boxers except to bed!) ???? Maybe someone can give some feedback on this character trait of my son.

Well, back to last week. My husband goes over to discuss the gun and rough play, and the guy goes wacko on him. Finally he tells my husband to keep his "heatherns" on our side of the street. Needless to say, we're OK with this. Besides this is the same kid that introduce the 'f' word to our sons' vocabularies.

Nope, that's not my guy. His son is more like 16 and
so zoned out on whatever drugs he does that he
couldn't probably pick up a BB gun. I've never seen
kids playing with BB guns before. Wow. I would freak
out and call the cops if I saw that. How awful that
you have to live by that guy. Juli
