I’ve put up with your ignortant, arrogant comments about our family being ‘loud and feral’.

I’ve ignored your complaints to council because you don’t like our dogs.

I’ve turned a blind eye to your children trespassing on our property, while we are out of town, your filthy death stares when we are in our own yard.

Your disgusting mud brick house and unkempt yard, your decomposing, non flushing toilet that stinks out the entire street.

I’ve ignored your stupidity when you call your kids inside because you don’t want them to be ‘exposed’ to Malachy.

I can live with your beliefs about us.

I will not tolerate you telling your children that the reason Mal is ’stupid in the head’ is because his mother took drugs and alcohol while pregnant. I can not sit by and accept that you think it’s okay for your six year old kid to march right up to AJ and pronounce this.

AJ has enough to deal with.

Besides the  fact that it is clearly none of your business, or your children’s it is downright disrespectful.

AJ does not need to hear family business being gossiped about by the likes of you or your horrid kids.

Have you no gall?

Have you no manners?

Even if you tell your children what you think you know about our family, at least have the decency to ask them not to discuss it in the street.

Teach them to respect other people’s feelings, for goodness sake.

It will make the world a much better place.

As an adult, I expect more from you. 

My kids might be loud and ‘feral’ in your eyes but at least they have respect and manners on their side.

What do your kids have?

You as an example.

Enough said.

From now on, If I see your children in the street, I will be dragging mine inside because, frankly, I don’t want them anywhere near yours.

Yours sincerely,

I have a cricket bat and I will use it.
