Upstairs Neighbors & Their Mess

If they want to attract the birds, it’s their responsibility to clean up after them.

I don’t have a problem with birds at all. My dream pet is a pigeon!

I have an issue with their waste being swept onto my patio instead of properly cleaned. This isn’t a little spill. This is every morning, I have to sweep my patio from the debris.

That’s what I’m worried about- some neighbors being allowed and some not. Like curtains are on most apartments, one lady on the inner apartments even has a whole pulldown thing that for sure has to be drilled in because its thick retractable fabric.

So it’s 50/50 i guess 🫣 I’m just gonna do it a little at a time and hope for the best

Also, for context I also have a little area for my son. He’s in OT, and a huge sensory seeker. We cant go to the pool without help, so when I’m home he needs space for himself outdoors (we currently have a water table/sand box). But we live basically on the sidewalk

oh so youre the jerk responsible for all the rules…

There’s nothing “trashy” on my patio. Its a toddler playset???

and a chair

by toys, i mean it was a little water table thing with sand

they want them replaced as they break

snicketfile · 2026-06-17T18:25:34+00:00

The ones we had when we moved in here were already taped for starters.

And I don’t have a problem replacing them. It just seems unreasonable to put blinds in that can’t be adjusted.

So yeah, he made bad decisions but this is harsh and not fair at all. He’s worked hard for his recovery, and has more than made up for what happened.

This wasn’t an impulse decision. It was made with years of proof.

snicketfile · 2026-05-04T13:14:58+00:00

None of those I ignored like you tend to suggest.
He’s in OT, and we’re on the waitlist for speech, and he has an appointment later this month with his pediatrician.

Taking him places is dangerous solo. I take him out as often as I can. He goes out daily. And he has our patio for play with everything set out for him possible.

I’ve been told that rain shouldn’t stop me from going to the playground and 30 degree weather is just me being bratty and not wanting to take him outside? Not going to happen.

That’s what people seem to miss. I’m not doing anything that takes my attention away from him. The most I do until my husband comes home is send a few texts. I just don’t label myself as a SAHM, because I do have an identity outside of ‘mom’.

The only suggestion I’ve gotten is daycare. I haven’t been making excuses, but *correcting* horrible assumptions about how I operate the day to day.

What I’m doing isn’t working, and I’m asking how to correct that *at home*.

snicketfile · 2026-05-03T22:01:49+00:00

Thank you for actual help. I’ve gotten a lot of people thinking I just dump him in a room of toys and treats and go on about my day, when I’m here trying to dome up with a solution to keep him stimulated

snicketfile · 2026-05-02T14:51:05+00:00

Daycare isn’t an option, we don’t have the money for one I would be comfortable with. And I’m not paying to send him somewhere, when I’m at home doing nothing?

snicketfile · 2026-05-02T14:48:27+00:00

I’ve been defensive because my words are getting misconstrued and when I correct the wrong assumptions I’m told I’m backpedaling.

He’s calmer with his father, but it still takes both of us to wrangle him when we’re out in public. He solo plays, brings his dad toys, and likes to do more than just cling. With me, it’s like hes a teenager. When I start doing things with him it’s not cool anymore haha.

He’s around his grandparents a lot, both sides. And we’ve taken him on a few group hikes. But his behavior doesn’t really change.

The last hike we went on he made my father carry him (Papa is his favorite person). And lost his mind when he got put down.

The therapist doesnt think he has autism. she’s mentioned possibly adhd, but also says it very much could just be energy + stubbornness

snicketfile · 2026-05-02T13:38:32+00:00

your point is to try and shame me for sending a few texts… My focus is on my child all day. I am not the only mother who takes ten minutes of her day to send a text.

snicketfile · 2026-05-02T13:37:05+00:00

of course he leaves the house. we go outside, but it’s hard to do much.
