It was my birthday yesterday so I held my annual party. Last year people were letting their toddlers tromp through things and pick stuff so I tried to politely let them know that wasn't cool with me. This year both adults and toddlers were picking without asking.
I don't understand it. My parents raised me in a way where I'd never pick stuff from people's yards without asking first. What is up with people? Admittedly I'm a more territorial person because I'm one of 15 siblings and if I didn't protect my stuff it would end up eaten, stolen or damaged. I'm trying to relax a little more and adjust to people who are more devil-may-care, but it's not like these people are around when this gimpy gardener needs help weeding, planting, etc. In fact, I sent out an email before the party asking for physical help because of the pain I'm in post-surgery (it hurts to type now but I've got a bee in my bonnet) and no one offered any help. So can you blame me for being a upset that people feel free to take the fruits of my literal blood, sweat and tears?
I had to stop one friend from making dandelion clocks! Argh!
Do you guys have that experience? How do you handle it?
