‘Thems the breaks, lady’: Hobbyist woodworker stands up to an entitled mother enforcing her kids' bedtime on the whole neighborhood

Don't mess with your neighbor's hobbies. For most of us, our after-work hobbies are the things that keep us going week-over-week, so when this entitled mother decided to make her familial problems into the entire neighborhood's problem, one man had to push back. 

As a hobbyist woodworker, our original poster, u/EnsnaredAngel, found it hard to find time in the day to get his projects done, but once his daily work was done, his commute completed, and his chores sorted out, he found he could carve out a spare 30-45 minutes every evening around 9 PM. With the city's noise ordinance at 11:30 PM, OP felt he was in the clear to do a few power tool cuts to complete his brother's birthday gift in time–but the entitled mother-of-five next door thought otherwise. 

Scroll for the entire altercation that occurred when one woman decided that her kids' bedtime was everyone's responsibility to maintain, even in a city where people can live their own lives well into the evening without consequence. Let's just say, that after this altercation, this mom might need to train her kids to sleep through any amount of noise… Up next, here's another story of a guy who stands up for his own work, firing a client after they crossed the line professionally.
