I live in a cul-de-sac. The neighbors 2 doors down are nice, we never see them though. They've got 2 little girls. Neighbors across from them are nice too, they've got a little girl in K. The neighbors on the right side of us are ok too. We've had our tiffs, had one a couple of days ago. His mom's pretty sick, they live 13 hours away, and I'm just wondering if we're gonna wind up seeing a "for sale" sign in front of the house. Their youngest child is graduating high school in a month- so we'll see.
Then there's the new neighbors on the left. OY. We had an older couple who just moved a couple of weeks ago. In their place is a couple with kids around the same age as mine. The kids are TERRORS. They have NO CLUE what rules are. And the parents just let them do as they wish! I knew it was going to be bad when the boy ran off (yes ran off) with dd's iPod. He was flinging sticks at other kids- had to ban sticks from the yard. He carries a pocket knife with him. Oh, this child is in 5th GRADE. His sister is in 4th. The kids have been at dd's elementary school for 1 day- and are already riding at the front of the bus. Dd said "It's because they can't sit". Ring the doorbell at all hours of the day (put a stop to it too)
I'm trying my hardest to be "nice". I do think some of the problem is that dad was in Iraq for the last year, he seems to be the one that's the most leniant when it comes to rules.
