Dear LFTP: the neighbor's granddaughter Sarah

• What do you do when you want to stay friends with a neighbor but her teen won’t stop acting up?

Mike reads a Dear LFTP letter about Dee, whose granddaughter Sarah has turned disrespectful — ringing the doorbell for no reason, teasing the cats, skating back and forth outside the apartment. The guys' verdict: it's a perspective problem more than a behavior problem — be nice, bribe her with candy, invest in her skating — while the read-aloud secular answer holds Dee responsible as the adult in the household and says to call the police if it ever turns criminal.
