The woman’s sibling took to Reddit to share the situation with others and see who was in the wrong.
They wrote: “So my sister enjoys getting into the Halloween spirit and putting creepy decorations in her yard.
“One of those decorations happens to be a skeleton zombie baby.
“Well, apparently, this is super inconsiderate because sometimes babies die, and this trauma could be re-lived when someone sees a plastic zombie baby.”

In the post, shared to the Entitled B**ch forum, they shared the note their sister received from a neighbour.
The note read: “Dearest Neighbour, Happy Autumn! I can see you are preparing for fall time and the holidays.
“I do, however, humbly ask you to reconsider your Halloween decor. I walk to feel peace and for my mental health – so naturally, I was passing through your neighbourhood earlier.
“My peace of mind disappeared upon seeing the skeletons bearing the zombie baby.”
The note writer revealed that her brother had died as an infant and the decorations had triggered her.
She continued: “My brother died as an infant. His death was many years ago but I haven’t forgotten. The pain of his loss is very real. Because of this, the undead baby decoration nearly broke me apart.
“Hours after, as I write, I continue to feel disturbed. I am not the only one affected – in 2021, the CDC reported nearly 20,000 infant deaths!
“Struggling with this loss is something many people
quietly suffer with… even in this very neighbourhood.
“Imagine if it was your child. Imagine the anguish, the hurt, the emptiness that your heart and your home would feel!…
“Considering all this, please take down those Halloween decorations.
The Top Five Reasons Neighbours Squabble
One study by Compare the Market revealed the top reason British neighbour’s argue
- Broken fences – top of the board was broken fences and whose responsibility it was to fix it
- Parking: one of the leading drivers of neighbour disputes, with 54.1 per cent of people having issues with people parking in front of their house, parking bay or driveway
- Trees – complaints about a neighbour’s tree cracking your garden path was also common with nearly half of participants finding it frustrating
- Bin wars – outdoor bin etiquette continues to ignite the most furious debates between neighbours
- Nosy Neighbours – some people have their eyes and ears at the ready to have a peek causing problems for others
“Doing so will make our neighbourhood feel safe and comforting again. Of course, we can still celebrate the fall time season!”
The post went viral on the page and many took to the comments to share their thoughts, shocked by the neighbour’s request.
One person wrote: “It’s not ok to expect other people to cater to your trauma. Girl needs therapy.”
Another commented: “My grandparents passed away many years ago so please don’t celebrate Halloween ever.”
“Your skeleton decoration offends me, my grandma is a skeleton,” penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: “Tell your sister to put several more skeletons with zombie babies.”
“Someone else’s trauma isn’t your reason to stop putting up Halloween items,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “I would immediately put up MORE zombie babies.”
