Our neighbor sold us her DS's swing set and bought......
We have lived in our place for just over a year, last summer our neighbor bought he grandson a nice new wooden swing set. She is the raising her grandson, he is about 5 years old, her daughter (kids mom) showed up and is staying with them. A few weeks ago the daughter told her mom that she wanted to sell the boys swing set and buy him a new one for his birthday, so the two of them asked if we wanted it for $200, this was a great deal so after we asked several questions we bought it. Well the birthday came and went, and the little boy didn't get a swing set. We asked what happen and well the kids mom bought drugs with the money and has moved out. I feel so bad, this little boy keeps asking us for his swing set back, he doesn't understand that we bought it. He did play on the swing set almost everyday. I just don't know what to do, now my DS loves the swing set and plays on it everyday. We live right next door too : (
wow how sad for that little boy..im sure the grandmother is embarrassed over this...i would offer to let him play on it if hes supervised by the grandmother
Quoting FabDarling:that's a terrible situation to be in.
i'd offer to let him play on it with your son - or alone (as long as grandma is watchng him).....so he doesn't get hurt.
I would allow him to play any time, as long as the Grandma is watching...BUT...I would make it 100% clear the childs mother is at no time allowed on your property for any reason.
That is a horrible situation. I am not sure waht I would do. But I would tell them that he is always welcome to come over and play on it.
