Her trim. Sorry. My brain is currently being melted by DuoLingo and trying to learn Italian
"The future must know where you've been."
My cousin decided to spend 15 minutes in my bathroom smushing partially liquefied bar of soap into everything on the sink. Apparently, this is fine, because she's a kid, so nobody should tell her parents or tell her to not do that. (That's sarcasm, by the way, I am very tired.)
I told her to not do that again and she ignored me.

@0v7: She sounds like she (& her parents) need a serious lesson in Boundaries and Respect (IMO). I'm sorry you are having to deal with that
This is exactlySee we had a similar problem with my cousin's 5yo a few days ago. My mom was 'at work'(she's work from home because covid), but he kept barging into her room demanding to play Minecraft on her computer. The mother just laughing and not doing anything.

"The future must know where you've been."
@Wildfire: It's.... a work in progress. I'm just hoping my cousin, her sister, and her parents get access to running water soon because all of them don't respect my boundaries/belongings T_T
"The past predicts the state you're in!"
@Another Movie Addict: You too, huh? Oh, that's really too bad!!
@0v7: If the behavior crosses so many generational boundaries, it's no wonder the child doesn't understand.
But, apparently, some people (of any age) do not understand or respect boundaries. Then we wonder why we have to tell people "no means NO", for example /eyeroll/ and it's because of THIS.
I'm sorry, but it sounds like both those kids are serious brats in the making.

This is exactlyHe came into my room trying to force me into letting him play on my computer, because he saw my Minecraft stuff. He decided it was okay to get into my personal space. I told him and hist mother bluntly "someone needs a lesson in boundaries", so she shewed him away from me.
what you think it is.
@Another Movie Addict: That's not a horrible outcome, given what you described a minute ago. And good for you to identify it like that.
Don't get me wrong, there IS a stage of child development where the issues of boundaries is natural and normal and teachable. But there is also a point where it is no longer teachable...

And on that note, I'm going to go walk my dogs. I'll be back soon... to chat some more and to slog through a little more Italian...

"The future must know where you've been."
@Wildfire: This kid is driving me up the wall - she apparently dug through me and grandpa's dresser drawers, and it's fine apparently?? I'm trying to be like, gentle about this, but oh my god she doesn't listen.
"The past predicts the state you're in!"
This is exactly-puts on old grandpa voice- Why in my day, I'd have gotten a belt to my behind for that nonsense.
what you think it is.
"The future must know where you've been."
I'm just so amazed that I'm apparently the only one who sees a problem with this???? I feel like I'm overreacting jfc
"The past predicts the state you're in!"
This is exactlyYou're not, they just don't want to tell her no. Because if you say no you're an abusively bad person. People don't know how to discipline anymore.

"The future must know where you've been."
I cannot wait for them to get running water, so they won't have a reason to come over here.
"The past predicts the state you're in!"
This is exactlyWhy don't they have some now?
what you think it is.
"The future must know where you've been."
Long story short, they moved a mobile home onto our land, and moved in... without getting running water, since that required a water meter, which our landlord refused to give them. So we got a well dug for them, and now we're waiting to buy a septic tank, so they're using our facilities in the meantime.
"The past predicts the state you're in!"
This is exactlyGotcha. Digging a well is a pain in the ass too.
what you think it is.
"The future must know where you've been."
It was.... $14k to dig it ovo;;
Thankfully, grandpa could help them afford it, but.... that's so much. I've not even held $400 on me at any given time. ovo;;;;

I quit Voltra. Read my profile.
This is exactlyo.o that is a lot.
When I was younger we had to dig to the pipes of our own well, and we did it ourselves. I remember being put into a bucket and lowered down to help dig.
