I've lived at my present home for 8 years in July and i've NEVER once had any confrontational incident, until now. My home is MY safe place and right now, i don't feel confortable. Anxiety levels = SKY HIGH.
We had new neighbours move in last summer and since then its been hellish.
Our houses are joined (as part of a little terrace row) and for the last year i've had to put up with her children constantly riding 2 mini moto bikes. This stops up from having our doors/windows open and also we can't hear our TV while its on. The bike fumes come into my kitchen and aggrevates my asthma. The children are rude and disrespectful. They walk all over my garden and last week there were her children + friends sitting on my teeny picket fence and now its broken. Apart from knocking on the window to get the children away from my garden i've not said a single word to her or her children about any matter. A couple of days later i find dog sh*t on my patio and several pieces of rubbish....i have no dog and i don't just throw litter in my back garden.
2 weeks ago Friday i was in town and my next door but one neighbour stopped me in the street, (out of the 8 years i've lived her, i have spoken to her maybe 5 times, i keep myself to myself and thats the way i like it.) She tells me of an issue she's got going with my neighbour and i listen. We speak about how the mini moto is annoying us and we go our separate ways.
Last night i was putting out my rubbish and my next door but one neigbour came over for a chat. We were standing there for about an hour and the whole time my neighbour was listening at her window (along with her children). As far as i was concerned, i was standing on my property chatting with a neighbour - nothing wrong with that, is there!?
This morning i get up and my front path is COVERED in broken eggs and by the way they landed there is NO DOUBT where they were thrown from, in fact, its a direct line from my neighbours front door. After she'd done the school run my husband went out an had a "little chat". He confronted her about the eggs and she did not deny it. She said that last night when i was chatting, when she came to the door, we stopped so she "assumed" we were talking about her....MY BACK WAS TOO THE HOUSE, unless i have eyes in the back of my head i had NO clue what was happening behind me. Anyway, IF i was talking about her, i am an adult, i can to who and what i like without worrying about consequences. My husband said to her that he wanted the mess cleaned off my path right away - she did!!!!! Guilty? I reckon.
Since my husband does odd and very long shifts i am alone most of the time. In the day time its not so bad, i'm not so worried about the mother, its her 15 year old daughter and her friends that i am concerned about. I am dreading from 4pm cause they'll all be hanging around outfront and i don't even like going to the dustbin. I got my little boy to put the rubbish out a couple of days ago and one of the children shouted to him "What you doing freak?" How mean is that? My son is 8 years old.
I'm scared to go out and scared to stay in.
