feeling miserable today

[nickytwotimes]

it's been a bit stressful lately. ds is poorly and whingy - nothing major but unpleasant. couple of kids in our neighbourhood are arses and keep kicking ball around/at our house. shit parents who tell you to f off if you approach them. thing is, they are bad enough, but ny husband goes off his head and wants to move even though we love our house and can't afford anything else anyway, plus it is still in the process of being renovated. causes tension between us - i usually end up crying. feel like crying a lot at the moment. anything will set me off. i have supportive family and friends but still feel a bit lonely. my dad died coming up for 2 years ago and sometimes it still really hurts. feeling a bit lost really. don't know what i expect from writing this, but it is good to off load...

Any sun where you are today? Yesterday just to have the sun on my face and a little fresh air did the job.

sounds like you are feeling trapped-you thought you had settled into a nice place and are putting lots of money and work into making it your own, but you have neighbours from hell.

I wouldn't approach them or their parents, at all, ever again, for several reasons, but mainly you already know it's not worthwhile and might escalate. Also if you do move it can cause problems selling, to have complained.

One thing is, having put up with this sort of thing myself for 3 years, and my parents for over 40, is to tell yourself that kids (and neighborhoods) grow up and change very fast (and might even move away!!).

Could you play devil's advocate with yourself (or a friend) and think of the possibility of moving? If nothing else you will be able to make a better case for staying to your dh when he next flies off the handle.

well, speaking as someone with a (this week)broken front window, obviously caused by a several attempts with a catapult, I feel like a kindred spirit!
