'My entitled neighbour demands I let her energetic son play in my large garden'
A homeowner has shared her shock after her 'entitled neighbour' ordered her to let her son play in her garden. The woman, who works from 7am to 5pm on weekdays, has a much larger garden than her neighbour but doesn't get to enjoy it often due to her work schedule.
The 27-year-old took to Reddit to share her story, she said "My neighbour has a large dog and a rather destructive son. [I have a] pretty big yard, compared to my neighbour's, which is almost half the size. I have no gate for the yard, leaving it open for any pets/animals to come right in."
"My neighbour loves gardening, so she doesn't like her kid in the yard with all the tools." She then explained how her neighbour asked if her son could play in her garden while she was at work because it had more space.
"[I thought], 'It couldn't cause any harm, could it?' I agreed, but I did tell her that her son would have to leave by the time I got back, and everything went well until I got my first cat," she added. She later found out that her neighbour would send her son over to play with his dog, hoping they'd tire each other out.
A woman shared: "I named my new ginger cat Ginger. Ginger loved to bask out in the sun with the neighbour kid and dog, until one day I found that she wasn't outside. In fact, she was inside with a bite mark. I rushed her to the vet immediately, where she was treated and wore some sort of bandage around her waist for the next week or so.

"I checked the cameras only to see the neighbour kid trying to move Ginger out of her general spot so that he could sit there, and she swiped at him, scaring him off. It seemed that the neighbour's dog did not take kindly to this, and the mark was not a bite mark, but a swipe from the dog."
She confronted her neighbour about it - but was disgusted to hear her deny everything. "She said 'He's just a kid, and Ginny is fine!' I reminded her that it was Ginger, then told her that neither her son or dog were allowed on my property again," the woman added.

"She threw an absolute tantrum and told me that they should be entitled to the yard while I was away because 'After all, you can't just let it go to waste!' I then reassured her of my decision, to where she said word for word... 'Ma'am, you need to leave'."
The woman was so upset that she asked people online what to do. Someone replied: "If they, child/dog/mum come on again call the police. You have clearly stated they are not welcome and they would thus be trespassing. Document the cats injury and keep that information. Do not let them back on your property. Especially not an unattended child."
Another person said: " Take that b**** to small claims court for the amount of the vet bill. I'd also install a fence so her entitled kid and dog can't get in to your yard." And someone else suggested: "This is where the phrase 'strong fences make good neighbours' comes from. Get a fence installed. Also, depending on where you live, you could be liable if the kid hurt himself while on our property, so I wouldn't let people hang out in your yard when no one is home. Kid could trip over a tree root or fall against a nail sticking out of your house and sue you."
