Humans are social creatures.
But conflict is also another aspect of being human.
And such conflicts often arise when living in any neighborhoodno matter howfriendly!
That is exactly what happened with this Redditor.
Frustrated with a continuously crowded backyard, she vented on Reddit.
And as we all know, children often get attracted to new and big things.
So much so, that they have turned the womans backyard into their daily hangout spot.
This crowd of kids didnt just take over her backyard, they also took over her peace.
She even mentions, I wouldnt even mind if it was a once-in-a-while thing.
But the kids have been hanging out in her backyard every single day until sundown.
But her husband thought that it would look unneighborly.
A major reason was that many neighborhoodparentshad joyfully told them about how their kids really liked the couples playset.
She stressed the importance of setting boundaries, even if its with neighborhood kids.
She said, Boundaries are essential for maintaining your well-being.
Caught in a fix, the woman took to Reddit to express her frustration.
She also added how the other neighbors have a come over, play whenever policy.
But these neighbors have comparatively smaller playsets.
The kids have been hanging out at her house even in her absence.
She clarified how her 2-year-old son doesnt go out unsupervised.
Trupti beautifully narrates the role of boundaries, saying, Imagine your life as a house.
Boundaries are like doors and windows.
They let in the light and fresh air but they also keep out anything unwanted.
Without boundaries, your house becomes vulnerable to intruders and chaos.
She says, Think of boundaries as guidelines that help us take care of ourselves and our relationships.
They also help us protect our time, energy, and feelings.
Without boundaries, we might feel overwhelmed or taken advantage of.
According to Divya, Boundaries help kids understand whats okay and whats not.
Without them, kids might have trouble knowing how to behave or respect others limits.
Boundaries help kids learn responsibility and respect, which are important for their overall development.
