It is not uncommon for neighbors to fight over simple things but one woman was left upset and guilty after her neighbors got mad at her because she reported them.

The woman took to Reddit and explained that her new neighbors never clean up after their kids, creating a mess of balls, bikes and scooters in the middle of the road.

“I live in a compound with 10 houses altogether. Four weeks ago a new family moved into the only remaining empty unit. They have 2 small children; a boy around 8 and a girl around 6,” she wrote.

“All the kids that already lived here play on the main road that runs through the compound as it is private access only and therefore relatively safe,” she continued.

“But they always make sure to stay away from driveways and not hit anyone’s car with their football/tennis ball/shuttlecock etc. It’s nice seeing the kids play together after school and they are all very polite and move out of the way if someone is driving through the street.

“However, this new family leaves their toys including scooters and bikes and even a cricket bat lying in the middle of the road. The kids also throw their balls into garages.”

The mother also explained that the kids have ‘thrown bits of pebble’ at her windows, waking up her 2-month-old baby.

When she confronted their parents, nothing happened so she decided to report them to their landlord.

“They have snuck up my driveway right next to my windows and thrown bits of pebble at the window and then screamed when my husband went to check what was going on, which woke up my 2 month old newborn.

“After 3 weeks of this, I went to the new neighbors and asked them to keep their kids under control. The wife told me their nanny cleans up after the kids (which she doesn’t do outside or I would never see bikes everywhere), so there is no problem.”

She went on: “I got frustrated and started taking photos every time the new kids left a mess and blocked the road. I sent that, along with a video of them sneaking into my garage and driveway, to the landlord who said he would take care of it.”

After sending the video to their landlord, her neighbors have been ‘better behaved’ but they are angry about the fact that someone reported them.

“Now I am wondering if I should have tried to talk to them again instead of just straight away reporting them.”

One Reddit user commented: “You did talk to them. It went in one ear and out the other. Reporting it to the landlord was the proper thing to do.”

Another wrote: “You talked to them once and the mom brushed you off. If you exclude the mess they are making, they are still throwing stuff at your house deliberately which could break something. These kids are old enough to know better.”
