We moved into our house 6 years ago and i can honestly say its been the worse house choice we,ve ever made.my neighbours on the one side have from day one took a dislike to us .We are very quiet people my self DH and 2 sons.I think we are too quiet.We hardly get any vistors my family aren,t bothered and my dh family are deceased.I have struggled to make friends since we have moved and i know my nxt door neighbours who have lots of family visting have picked up on this.However like i said over the years there has been lots of incidents -mainly when we have anything new done to the house.When we had new windows and doors they phoned the police on us for parking on our drive!then when we had a new garage door they stood shouting in the garden about it.They also stare all the time either at us or in the house-i,ve had to put blinds up making the living room really dark but they still look.
There have been many more incidents which i won,t bore you with but things came to a head on Monday.I was returning home with my small son from school when a friend of theres was parked across my drive blocking me access.He made no attempt to move and was talking to both my neighbours so i beeped my horn.He eventually started to reverse his car giving me a mouth full of abuse saying he could park where he wanted and i should learn to drive-he had left me the tiniest amount of a gap to get on my drive.my young son was upset as so i was i.my neighbours were smerking and loving it.They bad mouth us to anyone who will listen.i did ask him why i shouldn,t want to park on my own drive to another mouth full of abuse.i was fuming.after he eventually drive off after still sitting in his car talking about me to my neighbours i went out and asked both my neighbours why they have to bring other people into things and if they had a problem they knew where i was- i was so mad and at this point figured it makes no difference if i stay quiet or say something they do as they please.i phoned the police as i had really had enough and felt if i didn,t do anything they will continue to esculate things.They have spoken to them and i did feel better.Their daughter-in law came this morning as i was taking my son to school and was giving me filthy looks-which i have been expecting.I know the only answer is to move but we can,t afford too.i would be more than grateful for any advice or stories.sorry for going on but i have no-one else to talk too.many thanks
