    Default Can I rant a little?

    I live in a beautiful brand new apt complex in a very upper-middle class neighborhood. Honestly, I dont even know why theres an apartment complex IN this area. Anyway - were directly across the street from a 2 year old elementary school. That may clue someone in on the fact that, I dunno, children live here?! I pay almost $1700 a month for a 3/2 townhouse... the little area I am in is all townhomes - all 3 or 2 bedroom - larger places. Wouldnt someone wonder - gee? The families, ya know, the ones with kids might live here?! Well, I guess not because some jerks moved in about 6 months ago into one of the townhomes - they would go door to door to the other townhomes bitching that theres OMG! Children outside!! Complaining that they work from home and cant work with all the noise. Well, they were put in their place - fast. Get a clue idiots. Not to mention the children are gone from 9-330 M-F. WORK THEN!

    But that was all fine and dandy until just now. The complex managers come to my door to tell me that children have been using chalk and its on the sidewalk. Sorry, fine. (I already got bitched at about this so my kiddo has no chalk now) But whatever, tell me I need to clean it up because the new neighbors dont really like kids. WTF?! For real?! In this little area surrounding the grassy area are 5 girls and 4 boys all under 10. So, I just got done carrying 5 billion buckets of water to clean off the sidewalk (which i know, shouldnt have chalk on it) but still. And you dont like children? The why the fuck are you moving into a place across the street from a school?!

    Your porch looks chalkable.

    Tell them you work from home as an artist and all the chalk is yours. Refer all criticism/complaints/booking questions to your agent.

    Or at least not across the street from a school? Theres probably 12 beautiful complexes within 5 minutes from here... I mean this entire area (the west part of the CITY) is less than 5 years old... ugh...

    Ew, what the fuck. Do they actually expect to live in a COMPLEX with all adults? If they want peace and quiet so much, why the fuck don't they just rent a house?! That would piss me off too, especially since your kid wasn't DOING anything to them at all. Poor kids.

    True, that too. But they have some nerve to complain about children during the day, that's why I said they should live in a bubble. And chalk washes off with the rain, it's not spray paint graffiti now. LOL.

    I HATE people who complain about children in this capacity.

    Your story reminds me of the people who tried to press charges for kids playing with sidewalk chalk on thier stoop.

    You're right, there's plenty of time in thier day to work and they don't need to be blaming children for thier inability to focus. I just think its cruel to sort of bully families and dictate to kids where they should/shouldn't play. Kids need space. Tell your new yuppy neighbors to shove it. There's a special place in hell for people who want to infringe on a child's need for playtime.

    Get some brochures to one of the local senior living hotspots. There are no kids there.

    They think it's bad now? What will they do in the summer?? The kids will be out in force and making noise and screaming, etc.

    How old are these people and what is their gender?

    BTW...they had to have looked at the place before renting it...how did they not notice all the kids, etc?

    uhhhh, wtf?! I'd be pissed. Unless the kids are constantly screaming, throwing rocks on their window or drawing in their porch area they need to get over it. I don't even understand why management would even care.

    It doesn't make sense. One person against like 10 families...please...like you said work from 9am-3:330pm or after 10pm (or whenever the kids have to go inside), it really isn't that difficult.

    All the children are inside by 8pm. So the only time theyre outside is M-F 330-8 (minus dinner) and weekends but my daughter is never here weekends...

    The original people are a women in her 20s and a man in his 30s. These new people I havent seen/met yet.

    ^^ Those original people asked the neighbors (who are between us and them) to stop smoking on their porch because it was going in their house. They were like "where the fuck do you want us to smoke? in our house with our kid in there? close your fucking window" Jamie is NOT very nice when it comes to bs which is probably why mgmt came to me instead of her...

    I would tell them to fuck off then. Mgmt can go to you whenever they want, but I would tell them...as long as my daughter is doing nothing wrong, then don't bother. I moved here because it was FAMILY FRIENDLY. If the new neighbors don't like it, tell them to invest in a good pair of ear plugs and blinders or to move the hell out. That's like going to sun bathe by the kiddie pool and complaining that there are kids there. Morons.

    Other than those people (and the new ones) this complex is great. The people are really nice and I love it here... just those people, ugh. Ill just tell the girls they have to use chalk only on the porch (not on the sidewalks) and tell the neighbors to f*ck off. The noise law goes in effect at 10pm.

    Theyre gonna hate the summer - the kids are out late - sometimes as late as 11 or 12 and all us parents will be out drinking and hanging out... bwahaha... damn, too bad my daughter will be at her dads... Id love to make hell for them...

    Why do the managers have YOU cleaning up after the children? You said your took the chalk away from your daughter. Why do they have you cleaning up after other people's kids??

    Didn't these new neighbors realize there were children living nearby before moving in? Hello?

    The evidence was left on my doorstep. Like seriously, I think they moved the thing of chalk and put it in front of my door so they could make ME clean it!

    Ah shit. I just saw the new neighbors. Theyre OLD like OLD OLD like 70 something. They better not turn into cunts and I hate to say that about older people but seriously... there are areas for older people to live - like Sun City which is a brand new 55+ community and the rent there is comparable to here. They have a golf course and activity center, etc, etc.

    ^^^ yeah, unhappy when kids are around!

    Well, here's my rant. What about when you pay a ton of money to live in a fabulous neighborhood full of couples with no kids and retirees, and yet when the weather gets nice, familes who live nowhere near the area start importing their fucking kids to the fancy neighborhood park that happens to be directly in front of the building to screech and make noise and just, you know, be kids. What the fuck, people, I thought we had a deal. Those of us with two incomes and no children live in the cool neighborhood and you keep your rugrats in the suburbs. You don't have to deal with our bars and porn shops and we don't have to dodge strollers

    Solved that problem though. There's drunk college kids in my new neighborhood on the weekends but their hours don't conflict with mine, unlike children.
