Bad Seed

Last week we had an encounter, and I did not respond well. I had complained about Babymama's kids and their lack of concern where trash is scattered. Tuesday morning I was in a grouchy mood as I watered the lawn and found popsicle wrappers on my lawn. Later that day after picking up Stinky and running to the store, I sent him out to grab the mail as I put the food stuff away and cleaned up the kitchen in prep for dinner. He decided to be pro-active and grabbed a stink bomb in case the boys gave him grief. Obviously this was not the best move on his part. He went out and grabbed the mail. While out Dramaqueen and Fred called him names, 'faggot' and 'asshole' were used. He replied by giving them the Italian fuck off hand gesture. Then he did something else. He ran up to the porch and threw his stink bomb on our walkway. It was a small glass vial. So the vial broke and it released it's noxious odor upon the front of my house. Dramaqueen and Fred were 30-50 ft away. They stood outside for a bit, then Dramaqueen went and told his mother. Babymama comes up to my door with infant on hip swaying side to side because her knees can't take the pressure. Hell, I wasn't sure my porch could take the weight. She accused Stinky of throwing a glass container at her children. I was so pissed off I saw red. After all the bullshit her children have done, this was the boiling point for her? She called Stinky a 'bad seed' Which pissed me off to no end. I held my tongue, I didn't lash out and call her names. That would not be mature. The best action would to have denied or apologized, but again, not my best mental clarity moment. She kept yelling at me, "Did you know he threw it?" So pissed off me said yes, and I allowed it to happen. Well I did, I saw him go for that bag with the stuff in it. He's done it before, thrown the plastic baggies, it was what I thought he grabbed. So she got pissed off and called the police on me. The cops came and Goof got home in time, so he had the officer relay our apologies to the evil bitch. Whether we meant it or not the situation warranted it, but I'm still pissed off. Her children are manipulative,miserable bastards, (yes they are illegitimate) I know my child isn't a perfect child, many of his actions were not the best choices. Can she say the same for hers?

So a few days later we had one heck of a laugh. We already know that Dramaqueen has stolen Stinky's crappy green and black Nerf football. Not gonna make a big thing of it, as it's sat in the corner of our backyard for almost a year. What had us going was that the Hillbilly girl went into Babymama's garage to get her soccer ball back from Dramaqueen. He had stolen her ball and she was quite upset about it. There was pushing and shoving in that garage. Obviously Babymama couldn't be bothered. The girl even yelled at Dramaqueen for threatening to call the police on her. Against her finding stolen property? She was quite loud and confrontational about it for a good fifteen minutes in the street. So this was immature of us, but Goof and I stood at the storm door and applauded. Goof said he was beginning to like that girl for standing up. Children follow the behaviors of their parents or guardians. Obviously we all in the cul de sac need to be better role models. We need to work on our elitist attitude. Not their fault they don't own their home, times are hard. It is their fault for not taking better care of the property and respecting neighbors and their property. It is their fault for not showing consideration of others in regards to what they do or don't do with their dogs. How we care for the property we own has been the same, keep the lawns neat, don't clutter the street with debris, and never let the dogs out unattended or let them defecate on other property.
