An 82-year-old woman has refused to give her garage code to her neighbor's youngest daughter because of her uncontrolled behavior. The woman considers the family's older children her grandchildren and has given them the code to her garage, but not the youngest.

The child's mother is now asking for the code or a house key to calm the child down, but the woman is hesitant due to the child's behavior. Is the woman being unreasonable or is the child's behavior a valid reason to withhold access to the garage?

Neighbor's daughter throws tantrum over garage code 🐕

When a neighbor's kid becomes a nightmare, it can be challenging. For an older lady, it can be even more challenging. A woman, who considers her neighbor's kids as her grandchildren, decided to give them exclusive access to her garage by sharing the code, but with one exception. The youngest daughter's behavior was out of control, and she was no longer welcome.

When Erica found out that her siblings had the code, she demanded it as well, and the woman refused. Now, Erica's mother is insisting that she be given the code to calm her daughter down. The woman is left wondering if she's in the wrong. Let's take a look at what people had to say about this situation.

NTA! Other kids have earned the privilege, Erica hasn't.
