Moved to new neiborhood last year, nice upper middle class suburbs. In spring I noticed, as did my boys, ages 11, 12 and 14, that our neibors boys 9 and 11 where peeing in their yard. I thought and told my boys, surely their mom doesn't know. After a time while chatting with her as our boys where outside one of her sons began to peeing. Aware I was seeing him she said, "I'm sorry, I hope you don't mind, but I just hate the boys tracking into the house all the time, so when I saw the boys behind us peeing outside, I told the boys they could too.
Now their young, as my youngest, but what about my 14 year old. Since hearing that conversation all three of my boys are using the yard and being the only visible neighbors are those 2, I've overlooked it for now, since the other moms condone it.
What do other moms think, do you encourage it, allow it, look the other way or punish boys for peeing in the yard?
