My SIL has been known to pull over at the gas station to trash Barbies. It's amazing how it works. Can't recall if I've thrown away anything . . . of course, lately, I haven't been able to recall too much! Wow. I think you kept your cool quite well.

You are also a wordsmith. Why must I be so abundantly loaded with biting remarks - always spot on - if I am not supposed to use them? Why, Lori? I know you see the dilemma I faced.

I am torn though. Getting the managers goat (which sounds oh so fun) or being the neighborhood "mom". So many levels to enjoy this situation. I guess you are a nice person and made the right choice. I wonder about myself sometimes....Lori Hilarious. I am torn though. Getting the managers goat (which sounds oh so fun) or being the neighborhood “mom”. So many levels to enjoy this situation.

Do you use polish for your brass ones????<br/><br/>Hey! Can't say that if put in your situation I wouldn't have tossed a bike too! I have been known to toss toys that kids bring to school and play with in class. The look is priceless. Wow! Do you use polish for your brass ones????

It is more fun than chore, most days. <br/><br/>It is also a bit of a responsibility. Which is why you agree with me throwing out the one bike. I have to set the standards and I'm not above fear mongering. I am quite pleased to be a haven. It is more fun than chore, most days.

Very smart to throw away one bike. Fear factor is a powerful force and it shows you mean business. <br/><br/>It really is too bad that the whole idea of THE ACTUAL PARENTS being responsible for a portion of THEIR KIDS' BEHAVIOR is lost on the manager and neighbors. But it is wonderful that your place is a haven for the kids. Good job. I love it!! Very smart to throw away one bike. Fear factor is a powerful force and it shows you mean business.
