Imagine moving into your dream home with a beautiful backyard, only to discover that locals have been using your land as a shortcut to access nearby trails. That’s exactly what happened to a woman who recently moved into a new house with her husband. The previous owners informed them that neighbors would cut through their land to reach the trails, but the couple didn’t expect it to bother them as much as it does now. With a baby on the way and dogs getting riled up, the woman is considering blocking off access to her land. But would that make her the bad guy?

A Tough Decision Awaits

The woman is torn between allowing her neighbors to continue using her land as a shortcut and blocking off access to ensure her own privacy and safety. With a baby on the way and dogs that get agitated by the trespassers, she’s leaning towards putting up a barrier. But would that make her the villain in this story? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this tricky situation…
