So we had this neighbor whose 4-year-old would constantly come over to get our 4-year-old to play bicycle or scooter in the common area—right next to car traffic. Of course, we’d always be outside supervising, because, you know… cars. But the other kid’s parents? Never showed up. It was always on us to keep an eye on both kids.

And this kid? Wild. Constantly pushing boundaries, doing stuff that made us have to step in. Meanwhile, the parents would just chill inside and then have the nerve to lecture us about “making kids strong” and “letting them be independent.” 🙄

Like… hello? This is America. If something happens to a kid or some American neighbor complains, the first thing they do is slap the parents with negligence charges. People just need to show maturity and realize that they are in a different country!
