You know how they say, Good fences make good neighbors?
It was all sunshine and rainbows until onehomeownergot tired of their yard doubling as the neighborhoods makeshift soccer field.
And thats when the drama really kicked off.
Sounds like paradise, right?
So, they politely asked the neighbors if they could rein in their mini-athletes.
A casual, Kids will be kids.
Oh, the nerve!
But instead of just stewing in frustration, the OP came up with a plan building a fence.
And not just any fence think less picket-fence-charm and more medieval fortress.
With the help of a couple of pals, they built a wall that could rival any gated community.
Gone were the days of free-range kids tearing through their yard.
The neighbors, however, werent too thrilled.
Suddenly, those friendlyneighborswere pleading, complaining, and downright begging to have their backyard privileges reinstated.
Even the kids tried pulling the classic puppy-dog-eye routine, but the OP wasnt having it.
They stood their ground, literally, leaving the neighborhood soccer squad to find a new field.
But the OP started feeling a twinge of guilt.
They never set out to become the villain they just wanted some peace and quiet.
Now, sipping their morning coffee in silence, they couldnt help but wonder: Did they overdo it?
Its just not happening.
But there are ways to avoid feeding into their inflated ego.
For example, when someone starts making ridiculous demands, the best move is not to cave in.
Giving them what they want only makes them more convinced that they deserve it.
You cant hey everyone, and thats a fact.
But why would you even want to sacrifice your own peace for entitled people?
Its no secret that the spaces we live in have a big impact on our mental health.
Sciencebacks this up too!
So, its no wonder the OP wanted to protect their mental health by protecting their privacy and property.
