Our house is situated on a corner, so image my garden like a cheese triangle. When I sit in the garden I am almost directly under next doors upstairs windows (rented house, not my choice for a residence!!)
Yesterday son of approx 17 yrs leans out of window and lets rip at his grand mother in his best ‘F’ ing language about why his clothes wet still wet!! “I told you when I wanted them … etc”
Firstly, on either side of our gardens are families with young children of 4 & 5.
Secondly, it would seem he is a selfish 5* jerk and cares not a jot about others.
And thirdly, who ever talked to their grandparents like that!?
Sadly as Mum & Dad talk like that too, and equally as load, why should he know any better!
Also he is big enough and ugly enough to do his own laundry! The mind boggles …

You have my sympathies janowl, horrible situation. Would it be worthwhile writing to your local MP explaining the whole situation including lack of response from the police etc?
Flowerlady, if my son ever spoke to his grandparents like that I would flatten him But I absolutely know for sure that he wouldn't.
I really do believe so many of these problems are rooted in the fact that parents just don't/can't make the effort to teach their children right from wrong. Not even basic manners in some cases. But even older people seem to have forgotten how to behave. Whatever happened to standing aside to let someone exit a shop before you walk in? Why don't people say Good Morning as they pass each other any more?
Going to make a cup of chamomile tea to calm down...
Well I live in Watford ... and my husband walks with a stick at the moment
... the times that I have opened swing doors for him to walk through to have YOUNG people push through before him is countless!
Schools also have a lot to answer for! _________________ "One to rot and one to grow, one for the pigeon, and one for the crow!"

It can't all be blamed on schools. I really believe that discipline, good manners and thoughtfulness for others begins at home. If a parent hasn't instilled these basics into his/her child, then how can a teacher with a class of 30 be expected to do so?
Actually, I think we've gone off topic and hijacked this thread!
