I don’t know what to do, my neighbors adopted, about 5/6 year old, son keeps coming in our yard and tormenting my chickens, ripping up our garden and scaring my dog, he doesn’t listen to us and his family doesn’t watch him, he doesn’t even listen to them, I’m worried that he’ll get my chickens too stressed to the point that they stop laying eggs, but I’m mainly worried he’ll get ahold of Crutchie cause she can’t get away, what do I do?

This is completely unacceptable. Have you spoken with his parents?

I tried, well I did, it’ll have to be my parents after this time, I have really bad social anxiety so I can’t talk too much, he’s been trying to keep him over there but he just goes outside when he wants and comes over here cause he sometimes plays with my younger sister, maybe he has memory issues, he reminds me of the little girl we baby sit who can’t remember stuff and is horrible at listening because her mom was drinking while pregnant with her (she’s also adopted)

This used in place of 'they'?


I use y'all instead of the typical 'you guys', have for years.

Yeah, "ze," in place of a singular "they."

I keep catching myself using "you guys." I will work harder at stopping. It's one of those words that doesn't feel gendered to me, but I understand that it can to others.

He shouldn’t be allowed in your yard. Do you have a fence/gate? You should tell his parents he’s not allowed in your yard

Ok so glass is really hot and liquidy when you shape it, but if you cool it down too quickly it breaks from the temperature change. An annealer is a machine that is the same temperature as the glass. You put the glass in it and it slowly lowers the temperature to room temperature so the glass stays intact

We did, and no, we want one cause the same people have dogs that can break their chains or collars or even harnesses and have attacked us and our dogs, but it’s way to expensive, we’re going to get a fence around the coop soon but the guy we were going to have do the fences closed down while moving buildings and hasn’t reopened yet, here’s a slight idea of how our yard is

I would say definitely have your parents talk to his parents. Maybe his parents don't know how destructive he is being, or that there is a trend of frightening your pets. Hopefully that is enough.

I also suggest that this child is never allowed over. Sometimes young children can't grasp the whole, "I can come over only when invited," concept. Maybe he hasn't been taught. Maybe your sister can go over to his house to play, if it is safe there with appropriate supervision.

If he still comes over I recommend calling his parents to retrieve him every single time. The child is his parents responsibility, and the safety and well being of your animals is yours.

I’ll try that, thanks

I’m going to cry, the one bug I can’t stand, centipedes.
The one bug living in my dogs food in my room and in the garage, centipedes. I really hope I end up with a wife who can deal with this stuff without sobbing.
