A letter criticizing two San Diego parents over the size of their home is going viral after the couple posted the note on Facebook.

Mike and Kelly Brüning, the parents of two boys, ages 2 and 4, and have lived in the same two-bedroom Mission Beach condominium for nearly nine years, according to KTLA sister station KSWB in San Diego. The neighborhood is built on a strip of land between the Pacific Ocean and Mission Bay, and the Brünings are just steps from the sand.

The letter addressed to “Mike and Kelli” was typed by someone only referring to themselves as the area’s zip code “92109.” When they opened it, they were surprised by what they read

The couple posted the letter on Facebook Tuesday with a message of their own:

“Now… this place just got interesting. We received this in the mail today … not everyone in 92109 is solid. Sometimes harassment comes (in) simple forms.”

Friends and family who have watched the boys playing happily on the beach and in the water quickly commented on the Facebook post.

“Wow who has the right to tell you that? Kids grow up in big cities, in small apartments, in poor or rich countries and they turn out just fine. Having the beach and your playground is luck. I wish I grew up in a small place by the beach just like that,” one person commented.

“Silly. Tell them the beach is bigger than any yard in America. And way better,” another wrote.

“Cowards… not even a return address … just like most to stick their nose where it doesn’t belong,” someone else posted.

The parents assume the unidentified sender was a neighbor due to their misspelled names appearing on the front of the envelope.

Rachel Milstein Goldenhar, a licensed clinical psychologist in San Diego, reviewed the letter and offered guidance to parents who receive unsolicited advice:

Unfortunately parents have been judging each other for thousands of years.  It’s easy to be a critic. It’s much harder to be a good parent. Part of parenting is that other people will judge your decisions. In parenting, it’s important to stay grounded and focused on what your goals and values are for your family and not focus on what others think.

WOW! Who has this kind of time on their hands?!
