Dear Neighbour Mom,

First off let me introduce myself. My name is Vanessa. I know you didn't ask but since our kids play together I figured it would be nice to know your name. Maybe next time you can address me as such instead of "Hey!"

Now for the reason I'm writing to you.

You came over to my house after your son got hit by a kid. I did not appreciate having you walk over to my house and announce that "this was enough and this was the last time that my son was being hit while at your place" and accuse my kids of doing it. And may I say that you are the luckiest woman in the world because I'm in a VERY bad mood and you are lucky I didn't go postal on you. I was more embarrassed by the fact that you came over to my place and yelled at me.

I'm all for you coming over to my place and finding out what happened, but yelling at me in front of the my kids, the neighbourhood kids and neighbours is unacceptable! Actually what's more unacceptable is accusing MY kids of hitting your son.

In fact, once you found out that is was someone else's kid you never made any effort to apologize to me or my kid!

And let me explain something to you:

All the neighbourhood kids play around my yard. It's one of the only ones that doesn't have a fence. I can't can't control what they do out there, that's not my responsibility! There are usually about 5 to 10 kids out there so don't be so quick to blame my kids.

And if you want to play the blame game, from what I've seen over the course of the past 6 months, your son has started many fights and has clocked my kids for no reason at all. So maybe next time you need to check your kid before coming to my house and shaking your head at me like I'm raising a pack of delinquents.

Thank you for reading this letter.

And PS.

PUT CLOTHES ON YOUR KID!!
