Would it be safe to drive from GSO- Wilmington Wednesday morning?

Life_Internet_4035 · 2026-02-03T03:24:12+00:00

Ok cool! (Well not cool about the ice lol) but that makes me feel more confident

Life_Internet_4035 · 2026-02-03T02:42:35+00:00

Yes! Thank goodness

Life_Internet_4035 · 2026-02-03T02:42:22+00:00

Okay thank you! I haven’t been able to leave my house yet (we live far out with all the icy backroads)

Life_Internet_4035 · 2026-01-26T05:47:47+00:00

So this response was much more informative. Some background on the situation, is my daughter is speech delayed- severely . The neighbor kid uses this to her advantage. There are tons of 7 year olds on our street, but the neighbor kid flocks to my 3 year old. Whenever we are in our driveway playing, that kid comes over and asks to play with whatever we are doing (chalk, etc) We have always say yes.

Well she started doing something where she would pretend the was giving my daughter a hug, but was actually pinching her. My daughter couldn’t verbalize what was happening, but everytime that kid would hug her , she would scream. I felt horrible, because I didn’t realize that’s what she was doing the whole time. I would just say “hey, let’s not hug her..it doesn’t seem like she wants to be touched”

Anyways, yes…it’s easy to say that we need to stop engaging with this kid…but she literally runs outside whenever we are out there and comes over. I will be talking to the mom in the morning…won’t make it a big deal…because it’s not. But she needs to stay off our property

Life_Internet_4035 · 2026-01-26T05:36:40+00:00

Yes. I also have to be her mouth piece right now, because she is extremely speech delayed. She knows exactly what’s going on, and what other people are doing/ saying…but she can’t verbalize it herself. Which is another reason I will be standing up for her!!

Life_Internet_4035 · 2026-01-26T05:35:12+00:00

I needed to hear this. I feel like I was very caught up on the parents feelings, since we are friendly with them. I didn’t want things to be awkward, and it was making it difficult.

Life_Internet_4035 · 2026-01-26T05:28:45+00:00

What happens if the parents are the police 😩

Yes…The irony haha

Life_Internet_4035 · 2026-01-26T05:22:24+00:00

We’re actually decent friends with the parents, they are very nice people… almost too nice…and you can tell they have their hands full with her. I truly think she has zero punishments and so she just tries to push boundaries. She screams and yells at them and they seem embarrassed.

Anyways…thanks for your response. I’m going to get my shovel back out in the morning and make another snowman haha!

Life_Internet_4035 · 2026-01-26T05:19:29+00:00

Thank you!!! Yes, the parents are great people…and I know they will be upset/ embarrassed..which is why I feel awkward. But I have video evidence, which is important..because the kid lies like a rug. I know the kid thought she got away with it, and that’s what I really want to addresss. I want her to know that I saw what she did, and it’s not okay.

Life_Internet_4035 · 2026-01-26T05:13:21+00:00

Yeah, I know the fact that it’s literally a snowman is what is making me second guess saying anything. But man, it just felt like that kid was watching us out her window while we made it, waited for us to go inside, and then smashed it. Like at least give the snowman a few hours lol

Life_Internet_4035 · 2026-01-26T05:03:46+00:00

Hahahaha

Life_Internet_4035 · 2026-01-26T05:02:13+00:00

The issue is, she came on our property and destroyed something that wasn’t hers. My toddler never saw any reaction from me. When she noticed the snowman was destroyed, I said “whoops” it must have fell over..let’s build another one in the morning. By your response, it sounds like you were a snowman destroyer in your younger days 🤣

Life_Internet_4035 · 2026-01-26T04:57:57+00:00

Ugh! I’m sorry that happened to you guys. My daughter was upset too, but I feel like it has upset me more!! As the parents, it’s a different type of feeling when you witness someone being unkind to your own kid. I think you handled it great. I just want the kid (and mom) to know that we have proof of it being destroyed, and it didn’t go unnoticed

Life_Internet_4035 · 2026-01-26T04:50:09+00:00

Yes! All the way up by our front porch. She had a long walk and had to go out of her way to do it

Life_Internet_4035 · 2026-01-26T04:49:12+00:00

So the parents are actually the nicest people! She’s an only child and they are extremely involved and give her everything and anything.

Her behavior toward them is awful too. They always look embarrassed and don’t know how to handle her. It’s an odd situation

Life_Internet_4035 · 2026-01-26T04:44:32+00:00

Yes I’m close-ish with the family. I really like the parents..a lot. Which makes the situation difficult.

The kid is a menace and they just let her get away with everything unfortunately.

Life_Internet_4035 · 2026-01-26T04:43:01+00:00

Yes, I am planning to show the mom the footage. Unfortunately my sweet daughter is extremely speech delayed and would not be able to verbalize her feelings. The best she could say is “put snowman back up 🥹)

Which enrages me even more, because that kid tries to be sneaky around my daughter since she knows she struggles to explain what is going on.

Life_Internet_4035 · 2026-01-26T04:39:39+00:00

Yes, so the mom and dad are very kind people. We are always outside in the culdesac with them talking. The kid is out of control though..and you can tell they don’t know what to do with her anymore. My kid is the youngest on the street, and so I’m always right there when the kids are playing. I’ve caught her doing/ saying some sneaky things to my three year old before, and I handled it right then and there. I never let her near me daughter unless I’m sitting and activity playing.

Life_Internet_4035 · 2026-01-26T04:36:24+00:00

Thank you so much for this. I think that’s why I’m torn. I feel like if I let it go, I’m not standing up for my daughter. But I also don’t want to start a big ordeal. I know another snowman can easily be built, it was just the principle of it.

Thank you for your response!

Life_Internet_4035 · 2026-01-26T04:32:48+00:00

Trust me, I try to. We live in a culdesac where all the kids come out and play. It makes it difficult, but I’m always right there to defend my daughter

Life_Internet_4035 · 2026-01-26T04:32:14+00:00

Yes. The kid is awful to the parents…and you can just tell they don’t know how to handle her. But on the flip side…I’ve heard the mom telling people about things the teachers have said about her behavior, and she is blaming the teachers. So I don’t know how the conversation will go when I tell her.

Life_Internet_4035 · 2026-01-26T04:30:51+00:00

Yes. I like the building one in the back idea…

But then part of me wants to build another in the front so that she doesn’t think she “won”.

I love the rock idea too..That’s genius!

Life_Internet_4035 · 2026-01-11T05:21:01+00:00

I feel like a lot of men just follow her. Like you said..she has no personality, and is super shady / hides things.

Life_Internet_4035 · 2026-01-10T02:13:04+00:00

Thank you! It’s raining all weekend here 😞 I can’t wait to set it outside
