An X user was met with limited sympathy after complaining about their neighbor hosting a birthday party with six kids in their backyard for two hours over the weekend.

Make us preferred on Google

Not everyone likes children or hearing kid noises or activities, but when you are in close proximity to a child-friendly space, you're going to hear some of it, whether that's at a park or even living next door.

X user @Liza137823 got onto the platform expecting to receive validation and comfort from her fellow X users, but all she received were critiques when she complained about a kid's birthday party happening without getting her permission first.


You can read the X user's full complaint below:

"I need to talk about my neighbors because I have been holding this in for too long."
"They had a birthday party this weekend. For one of their kids. In their backyard."
"I counted six children and two adults. There were balloons. There was a cake on a folding table. It lasted maybe two hours in the middle of the afternoon."
"And I am sorry, but who is going to tell people that you cannot just do this?"
"The noise. Six children making the sound that six children make. For two hours. On a Saturday."
"I had things I wanted to do in my own home, and instead I had to listen to a party I was not invited to and would not have attended anyway."
"The cars. Two extra cars parked on the street near my house. On the public street, yes, but near my house, which means in front of the area I consider to be my general zone."
"And the balloons. One of them came loose and drifted into my yard, and I had to be the one to deal with a stray balloon on my own property because of a party that had nothing to do with me."
"They did not warn me. No note, no heads up, no hey, we are having a small thing on Saturday. They just decided to have a celebration in a yard that shares a fence with mine, and let me find out about it by hearing it."
"If you are going to host an event, even a small one, the neighbors should be consulted. We share an environment. My Saturday is part of that environment, and they spent it without asking."
"I am aware some people will say it was just a kid's birthday party. To those people, I would say it is never just anything when it affects the people around you."

The X user also included a snapshot of the birthday party, which did appear to include six children and two adults around a table in the backyard next door.

The X user clearly thought that she was calling out a great injustice with this post, but fellow X users weren't having it.

It's understandable that not everyone likes children or child-friendly activities, and maybe some unwanted noise permeated the house on a Saturday afternoon for the duration of the party.

But the extremes that the X user goes to in order to describe her woes are reminiscent of the woman who complained about a family-friendly hotel allowing children to be in the pool. If you're going to exist in family-friendly spaces, understand that children are going to be there, too.

TikToker Speaks Out About Just How Difficult It Is To Get A Divorce In Mississippi—And Wow

While we're well into the 21st century, it's becoming increasingly difficult in the United States for women to execute what should be basic social rights, like getting a divorce. But states like Mississippi and most of the "Bible Belt" are making it practically impossible for people like Nurse Hadley Vlahos to fully separate from a former partner.

Though Vlahos is known on TikTok and YouTube for being a hospice nurse and wrote about end-of-life care in her New York Times bestselling book, The In-Between with How to Let Go to follow, she's now dedicating much more of her platform to documenting her three-year process of just filing for divorce, not including all that happened in the years before and in the year and a half since.

Trump's Bonkers Quip About What He'd Do If He Coached In The WNBA Just Resurfaced—And It's A Doozy

President Donald Trump is raising eyebrows again after a resurfaced clip showed him trying to bring NBA star LeBron James into the debate around transgender athletes while mocking the WNBA.

The WNBA has been at the center of controversy after Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham said she wants "to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to go against biological men.” She called her beliefs "common sense," stressing that "it’s really important to protect children, and that’s little girls who are also involved in that category."
