    I moved back in to my parents home to help get my niece and nephew adopted. Each kid needed their own room also putting me in garage or basement wasn’t good options.

    I bought a small four season canvas bell tent and pitched it up out in the back yard. My two immediate neighbors were cool with it, but I spotted one of my distant neighbors spying on me as I was setting it up and taking pictures with their phone. It was creepy as shit. Bored homeowner suburbanites with nothing to do but work, collect stuff, mow the lawn, and worry about their neighbors affecting their property value are a very unique breed of neurotic. I was concerned the HOA would be throwing a fit but its been living in it over a year now no complaints. I guess the neighbors see me taking care of the kids playing with them outside or babysiting in the tent and understand that the situation unconventional but for good reasons.
