Kids can be a whirlwind. One second they’re right in front of you, and the next they’re off doing something wildly chaotic or even dangerous.
That’s exactly what happened to this Redditor, except she wasn’t the parent chasing after the little one. Instead, she found herself on the receiving end when her neighbor’s young son managed to sneak away from home and break into hers—not once, but several times. Inside, he played with her dogs, flipped on the TV, raided her fridge, and acted as if he lived there.
What made it worse was that his parents didn’t seem nearly as alarmed as she was. Frustrated and concerned, she turned to the internet for advice on how to handle a situation that was quickly becoming more than just an innocent game.
