For the past few days, my mom has been complaining about kids playing outside and hitting our fence with their ball. Since she didnt know which kid is which, I offered to install alarms and a security cam outside. Seemed reasonable. Just now she got really really angry at them just playing outside the house. They hit a part of our wall, but just barely, yet she started asking lots of questions about them and where they live. I fear that now that Ive given her an inch of validation, shes gonna take issue with smaller and smaller things. We now have a lot of neighbors, and some are not so friendly. She is quick to anger, and very stubborn. How should I handle this situation?

>>31685427If she's elderly and you're somewhat taking care of her or at least somewhat responsible for her just be incredibly frank with her that it's a complete non issue and she's being ridiculous and she's going to get herself shot or otherwise harassed if she keeps causing problems with strangers. I find with boomers appealing to their fear and being direct can help.
>>31685427Unless you own a large plot of land surrounding your house on all sides, the kids can play anywhere they want. And if you do own a large plot of land, put a fence around it.
