Mother left fuming after arrogant neighbor asked her to take her children home because they were interfering with her "very important" work became.
The woman read Mumsnet's Am I Being Unreasonable? Explaining the situation on a forum, she revealed that she had always been on good terms with her neighbors, until she rearranged her office home while the man was away.
"He now sits at the large (open) window on the border of our garden," she wrote.
"I was sitting at a table outside on the terrace this morning, drinking coffee, and I could hear everything he said through the open window, as well as everything his colleagues said in their online meeting.
"He could have sat at the table with me.
"There's not much I can do about it.
But things changed on a sunny afternoon as her 10-year-old son and three friends were trading Pokemon cards in the outside garden.
"They are laughing and chatting, but they are not shouting or being silly," she continued.
"And it's a sunny afternoon during the school holidays. They might be out and laughing in the garden.
" I came and asked how I was. He has a work meeting all afternoon and the noise is distracting him so I can take them inside the house.
"I laughed and said, 'No, that can't be possible,'" she wrote. ``I think you don't understand. It's an important meeting.We're negotiating multi-million dollar contracts every day.I need to be able to concentrate."
The mother replied, I will continue to use the garden as usual," she suggested, adding, "Maybe you can close the windows when you want to concentrate."
However, she admitted that the encounter "unsettled" her. I was sure I could get exactly what I wanted,' she thought. Or are you arrogant? He thought I was wrong at first.
"We love our garden, we always I am using it. I don't know how to deal with this, but wasn't it unreasonable to refuse to bring the children home? , not us.
"I don't think working from home is new to him. Before I guess, he was just in a different part of the house.

Comment People in the section were quick to reassure her that she was not wrong, writing:
"Enjoy your garden and don't get upset!"
and others find a way for her to pick herself up by making noise in her garden. I suggested it should.
"I think I need to start a very important drum lesson," she wrote in one.
Another added:
"Get me a hot tub and a garden bar soon!" a third cheerfully commented.
