Will you be my neighbor?
Our public radio station had a segment the other day, and shared that only about 20% of people on average actually know their neighbors! So that got me thinking, do you know your neighbors? Hang out with them? Ignore them? Wish they'd move?
We only have neighbors on one side (my inlaws) and it's pretty nice having them there so I wouldn't change that. Our across the street neighbors are rude, they stare, cuss at each other (in their front yard) loudly, oh, and they run a construction business operated illegally out out of their residential yard. So people are constantly parked in front of my house, generators going, tractors in the road, you name it they do it. So I kinda wish they would fall off the face of the earth ?
I like a few of my neighbors. Can't stand a couple. A lot of them I don't even know. I do regularly "hang out" with one of them. We have drinks around a fire in the evenings and watch movies and do crafts together. Our oldest kids are dating each other so it's nice that they can spend so much time together and still be in a fun and supervised environment. Both kids are very honest with us about their relationship. One big happy family. ?
I absolutely hate out neighbors. The wife is constantly complaining about every move we make and the husband is a total douche canoe. She had a daughter from a past relationship and that poor girl is so mistreated. They have a daughter together and she gets all of the love and attention. From sun up to sun down all I hear is the older girl being yelled at or crying. I wish so hard I could go scoop her up and give her the love she needs. The little girl is maybe 6. ?
My neighbor next door always stops to talk to us if we are outside together. We apologized if our kids ever made too much noise, and he did the same. That's when we all realized how thick our walls are. He even offered SO a job. But he can't take it with ds1's school schedule. But it's nice to FINALLY have a cool neighbor
DH knows the neighbors. I leave it up to him to get in good with them lol
Socializing isn't my cup of tea.
So him and the guy next door are friends. I've meet the old lady across the street when she helped me catch my dog in the pouring ass rain one day. But her grandkids drive me crazy because they keep trying to steal my dogs.
But the majority of my other neighbors only speak Spanish, and we don't, so it makes getting to know one another difficult.
I live on a small island in Scotland so I know just about everyone in the community we live in.
My neighbours are very nice, although the wife is a little nosey and likes to gossip. They are a retired couple and they are very sweet with our son. Their grandkids come and play in our garden when I am home.
I JUST moved two days ago and I don't, when we lived in co we knew most of our neighbors and smoked/drank with some of them.
Not gonna lie, the neighborhood we live in now we're surrounded by 1-3million dollar homes so I don't see us getting to know them.. We're the crappy looking house :(
Yes I know my neighbors. I wish they would move. They smoke pot 24/7 and it gets into my heater so in he winter my whole house is hot boxed.
They also fight 24/7 and since they life under me I hear everything. Them slamming the door rattles my entire place, they also throw stuff all the time so I hear that.
They are pieces of junk...
We moved into a new home 11 months ago, none of our neighbors spoke to us except one lady who lived at the end of the subdivision. She saw us moving in and came to welcome us. I found out 3 months ago that my next door neighbor is my coworker, I was in shock when I saw her bringing out her trash.
(Thread Closed) Calling all Bad Moms!
You know you are out there!
Weird / flirty neighbor with dh
This neighbor we will call Katie.

In case you needed to know!
I live in a Huge apartment so I don't know any of my neighbors, except for the two little cute kids that come by my apartment to say hi to my son and ask for Popsicles every day lol
