Well, one of my neighbors has been making me REALLY mad for quite some time. He has yelled at the teenagers in the neighborhood and has used profanity (the F-word, calling the kids A-holes, etc. ) Well, on New Year's Eve, the kids rang his doorbell and then ran into the woods behind his house. Once they came out, he used the F-word again, called them very profane names, and then called the cops. The kids came home and the cops came and we made the kids stay in the house. We totally reprimanded the kids and bozo Dad came to our door and we assured him that our kids were in for the night. But, perhaps a few of the adults were quite unsettled at the name calling, and so maybe an adult or two from our party went out w/ a roll or two of toilet paper, and perhaps tp'd someone's yard. I must add, I am in a pretty exclusive neighborhood...I have never rolled a house in my life!!! Our kids are not heathens, but here I am having knowledge of this and I know it will come full circle quite soon. So should I keep my mouth shut, go confess, or what? I still can't believe I was involved w/ this, but have to admit, it was soooo fun............................

LOL!!! I would keep my mouth shut and set back and see what happens. He should be glad that's all that happened.

ROFL! Shame on you

But please careful. When we lived in base housing A guy who lived down the road from me threating my ds & his friends that he will shoot them if they don't get away from his truck and to stop ringing his door bell. My ds was innocent they were just walking down the side walk. and stop when the guy started yelling at them..I called the SP and reported him. I told the SP ..If any of those kids rang the doorbell like he was claiming ,they would of took off running not just casually stoll away it

I'd be afraid that your neighbor will think it's the kids that did the mischief and that you as the parents did NOT keep them in as promised. There are really crazy people out there and I'd be afraid of this one. Try to make your kids understand that if they have to ring and run do it to someone else who doesn't get so angry. You never know what he might do. Especially now that it's escalated beyond ringing and running and you've taken to papering his house. Wasn't there just a story on the news about a guy who killed a teenager for walking on his lawn? You never know.

I wouldnt admit to any knowledge about the TPing and I would keep my kids at a safe distance for a while. I would do my best to ignore him.

Good luck, I hate dealing with neighbor issues because you cant even get away from it by going home like you can co-worker crap!

I know that must have felt good to you. I'd probably just sit back and wait and know that something will happen or come from this and deal with it as it happens.
I don't condone things like that but enough is enough and since you weren't hurting anyone and not ruining anyone's property, I just had to laugh!!
Just watch your kids where this fool is concerned because who knows what someone like that might do to them.

I think that's funny, but I'd keep my mouth shut, too. I agree with keeping your kids away from that grump! You never know!

Around these parts its called TP-ing and it is so much fun when done correctly. Keep quiet.

I did my share of tping during high school. A teachers house was done every year. The best was a van. We wrapped it completely with toilet paper, couldn't even tell what color it was. Took a while and a lot of toilet paper because one person stood on one side, another person on the othe side and we threw the roll over the top, then rolled it under. Had some friends that used several rolls of the yellow caution tape and wrapped an SUV.

The guy sounds like a nut, so I'd keep quiet. He'll blame it on your kids so make sure you keep them away from him.

I have a side not looked at in regards to this....have had this conversation with co-workers (high-school teachers) and wonder what others think. When I was a kid and people TP'd houses or cars, it wasn't something to get in a big huff over and call the cops or anything but it wasn't condoned by the parents either. It is blatently disrespectful of other people's property. It makes a mess that others have to clean up and is a pain in the butt!! Since when did we as adults condone this in our kids? Now, I have never had our house or vehicle TP'd so I am not offering this as a result of that but from what I see in kids as a whole. Many--not all--kids have distorted ideas of respect of what they are allowed to do and what is "okay" today. I think much of this comes from us as parents not setting the bar high enough in what we expect of them and their behavior. I couldn't imaging letting my kids know that it would be okay to TP someone's house because they were irritated let alone that I would do that.

You do not say how old the kids are? So you are saying the kids are actually doing this and the parents are not giving them adequate supervision? I am kind of confused because at first it sounds like they are just kids from the neighborhood then it sounds like they are your kids?
