Sometimes I hate other parents

I'm not perfect. My kids aren't perfect. Nor do I pretend either is true.

But there are those parents, that really think there kids are perfect. I'm not sure what type of mental disorder that personality trait is linked with, but it's really annoying.

My next door neighbor suffers from this disorder.

First, my neighbors kids are bratty and whiny. They run and tell their Dad anytime my kids won't let them get their way. And they only tell one side of the story, theirs. And he's convinced they can do no wrong.

Tonight, my husband put huge cramp in his "my kids do not wrong" muscle.

My youngest daughter is mischievous, to say the least. We have an privacy fence around our property and my youngest daughter was "spying" on the neighbors kids through the fence. She was tossing pebbles over the fence to "scare them". They seen her and they all starting throwing them back.

Well, at some point, another boy, that lives in an different neighborhood, starting chucking the pebbles at my youngest. And things kinda looked like they might escalate from there from what was said.

My neighbors youngest boy, decides go tell his Dad....

My daughter comes in and tell us what's going on. We talked about how things like that can lead taking someones eye out or a broken window even if you aren't aiming at anyone...

As we are talking, my neighbor marches over here, telling my husband about my youngest throwing the rocks, like it was just her violently chucking boulders in their yard...

And then, my neighbor flat out says, "Well, I know MY kids would NEVER do that, they know better..."

My husband, says, "Hold on there buddy, my daughter told me that your son was doing the same thing and my daughter has no reason to lie about that..."

My neighbors face turned pretty pale at that point and he said went back to his house to ask his son if that was true..

Minutes later, he returns, with his crying child who admits to throwing the pebbles too.

Now, my youngest should not of been throwing anything near anyone. She says she was throwing them where they would hear them - not at them and coming from someone who feels bad eating a chocolate bunny, I don't believe she's the violent type...

I don't think my neighbors kids are that way either, I think they got scared of the other boy and decided to tell on my daughter for whatever reason...I mean, if you are going to be a whiny baby, at least be logical about it and tell on the older boy...

I don't know how he can be in such denial about his children. He really believes his kids can do no wrong. He wants to believe that because he believes, everything his kids do, is a reflection on him. So nuts.

I want to believe my kids do no wrong, but that's not the case all the time. And I'm ok with that.
