My Kids Came Home to Find Our Neighbors Filling Our Lake With Dirt — Karma Struck Them Before I Could

When Bethany moved into her dream home, she envisioned peaceful days by the lake with her two sons. However, her next-door neighbors turned their idyllic new life into a battleground. Just when she thought her happy days were over, an unexpected twist of fate taught her neighbors an unforgettable lesson.Hi! I’m Bethany, a single mom of two boys, Austin (10) and Sheldon (12), and we just moved into our dream home a few months ago.I was so excited to provide my kids with a peaceful, nature-filled life in this new neighborhood. Little did I know, our next-door neighbors would turn our little slice of heaven into a living hell. When we first saw this house, the kids were over the moon.
do I see but a fence going up in the lake, dividing it right down the middle.I couldn’t believe Oswald had actually put up a barrier to keep the kids out. What was he thinking? Why did he think he owned that lake?I was furious. All I could think of was going to his house to talk to him. And that’s what I did. “Oswald, you can’t do this! That lake belongs to both of our properties,” I said. “Actually, I can. And I just did,” he smirked. “That lake is mine, and I’ll do whatever I want with it.””But what about my kids? They love playing out here, you can’t just take that away from them!” Oswald shrugged. “Not my problem. They need to find somewhere else to play.” Defeated, I went back inside. The kids were heartbroken when they saw the fence blocking off their beloved lake.”Mom, what are we going to do? We can’t even go fishing anymore!” Sheldon cried. Meanwhile, Austin just sat there silently, a single tear rolling down his cheek. I hated seeing them so upset, but I didn’t know what to do.Oswald was being completely unreasonable, and I was at a loss. A couple days later, I decided to take the kids to visit my sister for the night. I figured they could use a change of scenery, and maybe some time away would make Oswald and Patricia back off a bit. As we were driving back home the next evening, I noticed an excavator in our backyard.”What in the world…?” I muttered, pulling into the driveway.To my horror, the excavator was in the process of burying our half of the lake under a mountain of dirt. “No, no, no!” I cried, jumping out of the car. The kids followed, equally devastated. “Mom, they’re killing the fishies!” Austin wailed. At that point, I knew I had to stop this. I immediately stormed over to the workers. “What do you think you’re doing?! Get that thing out of my backyard right now!”One of the workers looked at me, unfazed.”Sorry ma’am, we’ve been hired to fill in this section of the lake. Not our call.” I whirled around to see Oswald standing there. “You!” I shouted. “How dare you do this? That’s our property, you can’t just destroy it!” “That’s your property but the lake belongs to me,” he smiled. “I’m just getting rid of it because it’s been nothing but a nuisance, lowering my property value.” I was seething. “You’re insane! This is illegal, you can’t just bulldoze our land.””Good luck proving that. I’ve got the proper permits, all above board.”I knew he was lying, and I wanted to teach him a lesson he wouldn’t forget. But before I could do anything, karma took its toll. As the excavator continued to bury the lake, suddenly the water level rapidly began rising on Oswald’s side. His entire backyard was flooded within minutes, and then the water began entering his house. “What the—?!” he shouted as he rushed inside. “Oswald, do something! Stop this! The water’s going to ruin everything,” Patricia yelled.I could see the workers looking at each other in panic. That’s when I understood it was their fault because they didn’t consider the water displacement. And I guess Oswald also realized it. “You idiots!” he yelled at the workers. “I’m not paying you a cent! Get out of here!” Karma had struck Oswald and Patricia right where it hurt. As they stood there, ankle-deep in water, I couldn’t help but feel a tinge of satisfaction. Once the workers were goneWithin a few days, the water was back to normal and the kids were out there fishing and playing to their hearts’ content. Oswald and Patricia? They had to move out for weeks to get their home repaired from the flooding. I’m just glad this whole saga is finally over. Sure, it was a headache dealing with those two, but in the end, good prevailed. The kids are back to loving their little slice of nature, and I couldn’t be happier.Sometimes, karma really does have a way of evening the score. Do you agree?
