"There's a limit on how many garbage containers our city will allow each household to have (three), and he and his wife are at their max. He was wondering if I could order two more containers for my household, and he would foot the bill and keep them on his property. He would just wheel them in front of our place when it came time for pick up."
"When I ran it by my wife, she said it was a hard no! Her rationale was that "they shouldn't have had so many kids." Our neighbors already had two kids who are 3 and 5 before the triplets. The triplets were a surprise, so it's not like they planned to have five kids. Given their situation and the fact that this wouldn't be an inconvenience to us"
Neighbors with surprise triplets exceeded the municipal limit of three garbage containers. The father asked a nearby homeowner to order two additional containers under the homeowner's household, offering to pay and store them on his property and wheel them out for pickup. The homeowner consulted a spouse, who refused, saying the neighbors 'shouldn't have had so many kids.' The homeowner notes the triplets were unexpected, the extra containers would not be kept on their property, and reimbursement would be provided. The homeowner seeks ways to persuade the spouse to be more helpful to overwhelmed neighbors.
