A woman is fuming with a neighbour who shamed her for 'not having kids', only to ask if her children could use her garden.
While out shopping, the mum-of-two neighbour ran into the woman and complimented the size of her house.
But things took a weird turn when the neighbour asked if she had little ones, and when the woman said she did not have kids at home as they were grown up, the neighbour told her it was such a waste of her space.
In the Mumsnet post, the woman added her neighbour then asked if her little boy, who has autism, could use the woman's garden.
The woman, who remained anonymous, wrote: "We have a fairly small three bedroom house but the garden is huge. Quite a bit of land there.
"It's now right next to a new build estate (quiet, no issues). And our garden is overlooked by a few properties. A woman from one of them caught me in Tesco yesterday afternoon, not sure how she knew it was my house but anyway. She said something along the lines of oh you're from X house, it's a beautiful garden and loads of space! It's lovely."
The woman thanked her for the compliment and reiterated it was a good sized garden.
Her neighbour then asked if she has kids, to which she replied that she does, but they're adults and have long moved out. She also has grandchildren who visit a couple of times a year.
"She said something like Oh that's so sad. What a waste. I have an autistic little boy and a baby girl. My son loves tree houses and big trampolines. They'd love to use your garden if you'd be happy to," she wrote.
"I was so shocked I said something like 'ahh that's nice! We will have to see'. And on I went with my day."
In response, many have agreed it was a cheeky move from the neighbour.
One person wrote: "I almost admire the effort she went to to find you and the sheer cheek of even asking."
Another stated: "Very cheeky yes but I sort of admire her brass balls of not only tracking you down, but outright asking you."
A third penned: "Definitely need to nip that one in the bud."
