'Neighbour demands I share dog with her kids, she won't take no for an answer'
A man has been left outraged after his 'entitled' neighbour ordered him to share his pets with her children because they're bored. The nurse explained how he has two dogs and four cats - and usually only adopts animals with medical issues because he has the time and money to ensure they have a good quality of life.
Speaking on Reddit, he said: "This morning, I was out mowing my lawn. I happened to be wearing a ratty T-shirt that had a logo from a video game that I enjoy playing. We live in a very small town in northern Wisconsin. Everyone just kind of minds their own business so we have never had much interaction with any of our neighbors which is fine with us.
"One of the houses that is next to ours is a rental property that the owners converted into a duplex. The bottom half is empty and there are two adults that live in the upper unit with two kids. I have never spoken to the parents as they have never made an attempt to even give the “neighbor wave” when we see the adults outside.
"However this morning, the mum starts walking over towards me so I stop the lawn mower and say good morning. She comments about how we have such a big house. I tell her it is because we like having lots of pets and that we usually adopt the animals that have medical issues since I am a nurse and my niece is a vet. We make a little more chit-chat and go about finishing mowing the lawn."

He goes back inside to continue with his chores - but is interrupted by a knock on the door. He added: "I make it a policy that I do not interact with children that do not have a parent with them, especially because I am a gay man and with the current political state, to me, it is better safe than sorry.
"So I ignore the knocks and continue with my chores. A few minutes go by and the woman I spoke to earlier in the yard is standing there so I open the door. She is upset that I ignored her children when they came over as they wanted to play with our pets. I told her that I would never allow children in my house that did not have a parent with them and that our pets were not play toys for her children. So then she asked if they could play video games since I must be a gamer because of the shirt I had on.
Once again, he told her he'd never allow a child into his house without their parent present - and doesn't want to spend the day entertaining her children anyhow. He added: "She then starts going on about she needs some alone time because her boyfriend left her and she is the only one on the lease because he has bad credit and she cannot afford her rent and she just needs some time to herself.
"I apologise that she is having a rough time but that my husband and I would not be willing to entertain her children for her. She looked perplexed for a bit and I was curious as to what confused her, and then she said something that made me lose it in a major way."
The nasty woman rudely complained about "having homosexuals as her neighbours" before screaming slurs at him when he closed the door on her. Thankfully for the man, he caught the entire interaction on his security camera, saying it could act as 'evidence' if she tried to make false claims about him.
Responding to his post, one user said: "You 100% did the right thing. This crazy woman would have tried to screw you over any way she could if she had found out you were gay from her kids. She even proved it when you told her. Also, her needing some time out from her kids, what about her parents or maybe siblings, why come up to a stranger and ask, that is just weird."
Another user added: "My friend, you've made yourself an enemy. And a really stupid one too, and they're the most dangerous. Nothing you did, of course, this is all in her very small mind. It may be a self limiting problem though, if she can't afford rent. I feel bad for her kids, but it is what it is."
A third user said: "Do you have the contact information for the landlord? You might want to let him know that his tenant is harassing her neighbors and in the future the police will be called. A lot of landlords don’t want to deal with that bull****."
