I live in a nice small community in Colorado. We live close to town in a 1950's development. Lots are really small, I have a front yard that is ~50x60 feet, and a back yard that is about 30x50 feet.
I have a 2.5 year old and a 3 month old and recently put a small swingset with a small slide in my front yard. I know front yard is uncommon for swingset placement but I didn't want to take up our entire back yard with it, and it's a great use for a larger front yard which we otherwise dont use.
Yesterday my 60 year old neighbor comes over and tells me that the swingset is hideous, she 'can't believe' i would think it's OK to put a swingset in my front yard, and that is 'an invasion of her privacy' since we can see in there windows from our front yard (which are 15 feet from our ground level mind you because we live on a hill!
This really pissed me off but the last thing I want is a feud so I calmly told her this is a good thing for my family and i'm sorry she doesn't see it that way.
Am I crazy or is she? Is a swingset in my front yard really a terrible thing?
