Couple Bans Kids From Their Yard After Neighbor Demands They Get Rid Of Dogs

And as the husband explained in a Reddit post, he and his wife were happy to continue that tradition as long as their parents understood that they wouldn't be supervising other people's kids.

That worked out well for their immediate neighbors and for the dozen kids who would frequent the yard. And since those kids and their parents were polite and tidy, it worked well for the couple as well.

Not only were these well-behaved dogs that the couple loved dearly to the point that one of them was the ring bearer at their wedding, but the kids loved them too.

As time went on, some of the older kids were even allowed to take them on walks.

Apparently, they had played in one of the dog's feces, which led this woman to say that if the couple didn't get rid of their dogs, she'd have them charged with endangerment.

And while they pointed out that her complaint made it obvious she wasn't supervising her children, she didn't stop fuming when they told her to leave.

In the man's words, "The woman left and came back with a petition and around 6 signatures for us to get rid of the dogs."

Since they didn't want to risk any further incidents, they instead locked their gates and decided no kids could play in their yard anymore.

So the man asked Reddit whether they handled the situation right, and the consensus was that unfortunate as the results were, the couple's decision was correct.

As one user said, "Unfortunately, one horrible person is all it takes. You were risking a lot of liability by having strangers in your yard, and now you have a sheet with 6 signatures on it that show how entitled people will take advantage of kindness."

And we can't emphasize enough how unreasonable the commenters thought the woman was being.

As another person said, "Petitioning you to get rid of your pets so THEIR kids can play on YOUR property is beyond unacceptable."
