I'd never believe its impossible to keep kids indoors and occupied. Just like Ujujoan,most of the "playing" i and siblings got to do as kids was indoors. My parents never encouraged serious relationships with neighbours outside the usual courtesies. Our neighbour knew that and stayed away too so it wasn't an issue. The girls learnt to sew,knit and build cars with the cushion while the boys wrestled on spring beds and played their football in the verandah. We created fun our way. It didn't affect our relationship with people later in life or how we turned out. Parents should owe no one any explanation or loyalty on who they do or do not want their kids associating with and why. |

jidegirl12: Lets be real here; you can't keep kids busy 24/7 when you have neighbours that watch your movement when you drive in and out of your house. One acre is about 44000 sq feet, such properties are called acreages with many having more than one acre and yes, you can operate recreational vehicles on them because of the wide expanse of land. Acreages are not properties where neighbors can "watch your movement when you drive in and out of your house" because they have such massive land space. The nearest neighbor is far way enough that you can't have neighbors so close that little kids could walk over or they could amebo you. The space could never be described as "compound" more like "grounds." |

jidegirl12: Kids are very tricky and very emotional when corrected by an outsider.... If you say a word now , it'll be blown out of proportion esp Naija parents and you'd be the topic as soon as they reach house.... and acreages are not on cul de sacs either, they are very, very large parcels of land, one acre is 40% of a hectare. Let's ease up on the embellishments |

dominique: You have to live in a multiacre mansion to be able to accomodate a snow mobile. Wetin bush me sabi jidegirl12: |
Re: My Neighbours Children Are Wild by Nobody: 11:01pm On Jan 13, 2013 |
I don't live on acreage and I don't know what your problem is? I owe nobody no explanation where and what my property looks like....,I was referring to the OP in your first quote and oh yes I have neighbours and culdesac is just thesame as a close .....so every properyu that has a lake and trees at their backyard has to be an acreage? I know y'all are salivating to hear more since its obvious its y'all passion to focus on Jide's life here....... shut your face (s) and concentrate on the topic.... Next! |
Re: My Neighbours Children Are Wild by MMotimo: 11:07pm On Jan 13, 2013 |
Apologies, guess you weren't agreeing with dominique's assertion afterall Snowmobiles move fast, they are not machines you can operate in restricted places like your typical surburban backyards. Now that you no longer live on an acreage, safe to say no snowmobiling going on in your "compound." Happy Sunday! 2 Likes |

jidegirl12: See why I said different strokes for different folks? Since October ?!!! |
Re: My Neighbours Children Are Wild by Nobody: 11:19pm On Jan 13, 2013 |
I don't have to live in a multiacre mansion to have a snowmobile ...... Snowmobiles are driven around the culdesac and driveways , there's no ceremony to it .... The whole frontyard is covered with inches of snow and with very close supervision oh yeah .... Whatever your sarcasm means is on all if y'all I REALLY DONT CARE !!!! like GEJ said. Add on; The word compound to you doesn't have to be same with my own context .... |
Re: My Neighbours Children Are Wild by Nobody: 11:25pm On Jan 13, 2013 |
MMotimo: Apologies, guess you weren't agreeing with dominique's assertion afterall It's NOT your business what's safe for my family or not, I'm a grown up and know what's best for mine.... You can also say transforming a swimming pool into skating rink is not safe either.... Not your business got it? |

The whole frontyard is covered with inches of snow and with wey close supervision oh yeah .... Where did I say you need to have an acreage in order to own a snowmobile? You buy them and ride them in open spaces, not in your surburban "compound." |

Happy to oblige, just ease up on the embellishments rather unbecoming jidegirl12: |

To ride or not to ride a snow mobile. Who really cares what jidegirl chooses to do with her kids. Its not like it will enhance or change our lives one way or the other. People have big backyards so its no big deal or something that is impossible. She really has nothing to prove or explain to no one. |

jidegirl12: Why does what anyone say they have remotely make a difference or affect my life? Its good to be content and happy. Cause I don't know what the big deal is? I have known people who have lakes either shared or private with enough space for dirt bike tournaments sef. So its not impossible at all. |

chaircover: Wow I learn new things every day on this NL Well CC, looks like you're in luck today! It snowed this morning! Er...just a couple of flakes though, but never mind - just whip out that snowmobile of yours and get exercising in your back garden! |
Re: My Neighbours Children Are Wild by Nobody: 9:26pm On Jan 14, 2013 |
Geez...derailers he don do naa... @op. You shouldnt stop your kids from hacing fun but when it gets to a point where it would affect them negatively then you need to stamp your feet and damn any neighbour. |
