Next-door neighbor's 3 kids repeatedly play in and trash homeowner's front lawn, the mother of the children refuses to accommodate: ‘One of them knocked over a planter and just left it’

It's always "kids will be kids" until it happens to you. Children are a gift to the world, but they're usually not a gift to your personal belongings… The homeowner in this next story wants to keep their property in tip-top shape without the work of the three children next door ruining it, but it seems like their mother refuses to parent them in terms of politeness.

Why is it that parents often weaponize their children's curiosity just to mask their poor parenting? Looking after children isn't easy, sure, but you'd think that parents would make more of an effort to teach their child manners and moral correctness. Don't come to me about morals being a sliding scale of things… Trashing a neighbor's yard repeatedly is impolite, and that's as clear as day. How do you parent your kids in this regard?

Do you tell your children to go to the homeowner next door and apologize? Do you brush off the neighbor's innocent pleas to retrieve your children and drop them claw machine-style in your own yard? The possibilities are endless. Scroll below to read the full story and see what commenters have to say about it.
