Neighbour Calling My Dog a B*Itch to My Kid

I frequently take my dog for a walk with my young child. While walking home, my neighbour is often in his yard. Almost every time I see him he shouts out comments such as 'How's your bitch!' And then snarks.

My son clearly hears this. He has even repeated it while at the park with his old grandma.

I think my neighbour is aggressive because he plays music with the window open. My wife said I should just lie and tell him the dog is a boy, but I don't want my car scratched.

Should I just write him a letter?

    As much as it must suck to get staunched in your own home it's probably best used as a teaching experience that there's just some f**kwits in this world who do shitty things and because of their shitty actions they live shitty lives and it all becomes a cycle of enshittification. They will try to drag others into their shitstorm of shittiness but the key is to not let your ego force you to react thus allowing the clouds of the shitstorm to enter your own life. Living a carefree and fulfilling life unbothered by others is the real staunch.

  • hueylewis on 29/08/2024 - 09:26

    Sounds like the neighbour is messaging a passive aggressive pejorative about the OP's wife?

    Aggressive because of the type of music they play?

    Maybe rude and inconsiderate if excessively loud.

    Most certainly dont write a letter! Could create a nasty feud or confrontation.

    Walk a different way if that's not possible you could politely ask him to refrain from using that word in front of your but dont have this conversation while your child is with you in case the neighbour doesnt take it well(anger, more swearing).

    Personally I don't think its worth talking to him sounds like a moron who thinks its funny better if possible have as little interaction as possible.

    Tell your son that Bitch is the correct name for a female dog and that way he’ll be very popular at school for a week or so when he tells all the other kids.

    You are making the assumption that you can teach these type of people the error of their ways in a civil manner…..you can't

    Explain to your son that it is the correct term for a female dog.

    Then explain how a lot of people, such as this guy, are born with brain defects, have a terrible upbringing and a sad life and it's best just to feel sorry for them

  • jacross on 29/08/2024 - 10:54

    If you don't want your son to use the term then explain that to your son.

    Your dog IS a bitch. Dr Harry said bitch on BHG a few months ago.

    If your neighbour is looking for a rise they are doing it in a fairly lame way. I suggest you get over it.

    The word "bitch" is considered rude precisely because it means female dog.

    When you call someone a bitch, you're comparing them to a female dog, which is why it's offensive.

    However, calling a female dog a bitch isn't rude - it's the correct term for a female dog.

    You can explain what the word means and still tell your son not to use it. Just like we teach them the words "penis" and "vagina" but expect them not to use them inappropriately.

    You could let the neighbour know your bitch's name so he can use that instead of the generic term.

  • tsunamisurfer on 29/08/2024 - 12:09

    Of course he is just being a dill and trying to get a rise out of you.

    Just ignore him.

    He clearly knows it aggravates you, and that's your problem.

    When he asks, respond in a way that assumes he is actually interested in your dogs welfare. Tell him about how excellent her toileting has been, how many people got joy from patting her on her walk, and how you'll enjoy her company that night.

    By showing him his 100% correct usage of the word doesn't bother you, he'll stop it.

    Alternatively, if you worry he'll go on to something worse, just be curt but polite.

    Knickers in a knot over the sound a word makes? Or upset because of the definition of said word? Both?

  • interlocal on 29/08/2024 - 14:35

    I thought the "joke" goes like that:
    - how's your bitch?
    - ….
    - sorry I was talking to your dog

    but that assumes that the owner is female

    Surely its easier just to cross the road or walk the other way.
    But otherwise video him on your phone every time he does this and report the matter to the police.
    Dont be afraid if he sees you doing that. It might contribute to the cause if he hurls more abuse.

      Setting a pretty poor example for the six year old… or did you mean to put /s at the end of that?

      • TightLikeThisx on 30/08/2024 - 14:32

        Of course /s but I left it out so that anyone who came on here to get upset would have something to comment about.

        The correct response would be to send his kid inside the house then just say the following:

        "Mate I appreciate your sense of humor but it's not funny anymore and I don't appreciate you saying it in front of my kid"

        If he keeps saying it just ignore him and involve the police if he get's abusive when on public land. Use it as an opportunity to teach his son why you shouldn't let other peoples words have power over your actions.

      absolutely. I suggested that was the intent in my earlier post. somehow it has been missed by 99 per cent of the posts here. pretty obvious that it was an insult directed at the OP and/or his wife.

  • ihbh on 30/08/2024 - 15:10

    Go to Ikea and get a FRAKTA bag. Before you leave the house, put dog in bag. When you're out of eye shot of neighbour, take dog out for walk. When you get near home, put dog in bag and carry him in the house.

    When you get tired of doing this, confront the neighbour and say something threatening, such as: "If you call my dog a bitch again, I'm going to chop you up, put you in this bag and feed you to my dog."

    Sounds like a family friendly joke to me. Worry about things when you get drug dealers next door and random cars every 15 minutes followed up by a stabbing or 2. Or even a teenage gamer. This sounds like the dude may be a little on the 'special' side though repeating the same joke, so take that into account as maybe he's just the local simple guy and just needs a smile and wave.

    Slap yourself a few times, get back to reality and realise you're letting it get into your head.

    This is a perfect opportunity to teach your kid how to navigate this world. Teach him how to handle words and people like this.

    Are you not suffering enough from this yet? I wouldn't attempt to change that man (by writing a letter or something else) which would induce more suffering.
