Mum’s brutally honest note on car warning about ‘disruptive’ son praised by neighbours

A brutally honest note left by a mum has left people praising her after she explained that her neighbour should not park in a certain place if they didn’t want their car to become damaged

A mum’s brutally honest note about her son’s behaviour has been widely praised online after she put it under a neighbour’s windscreen wiper.

In the handwritten message she explains that her son is autistic and how this can affect his day-to-day life. She also warns that he can sometimes be disruptive and damage property as she advises fellow residents to avoid parking outside their house.

Some thought it was courteous and praised the mum for being so upfront, how others were confused by the communication.

The man whose wife received the note posted it on Reddit to see what people thought about it, with many people quick to praise the woman for her brutal honesty, saying it must be difficult to admit such things.

The note, which was left on the woman’s car, read: “Please note, our son is impulsive and destructive.

“Since moving in, he has drawn on my car with texta, thrown a few rocks across the front of complex and hit a car was parked where this one is it would have smashed a window.

“He has also thrown numerous items from our balcony.

“I know that I have been very vocal about cars parking out the front here and this is a huge factor.

“I, as a parent of a ADHD/ASD child, I can only pre-empt so much.

“Please only park here if you’re willing to accept damage to your car.”

Neighbours were quick to praise the woman for being brutally honest, admitting that it may be her son that causes damage to their cars – and for candidly explaining why.

One wrote: “Well. Now you know who’s responsible if your car gets damaged!”

Another said: “Ahhh, good to have this on paper! This could come in handy for your insurance later.”

“It’s nice that they admitted liability in advance. I’d keep the note”, another praised.

“It’s not his fault”, another sympathised.

Another said the mum was trying to do something nice, commenting: “I don’t think they’re trying to say that the person parking there would be to blame. It looks to me like they’re just trying to save both of them a headache – the parent of the child having to pay for damage and the owner of the car having to lose their car for some time for damage repair.”
