We are reaching the end of Stage 1 and hopefully Stage 2 and home visits will be upon us. We are just a bit worried about how our next door neighbour may affect things.
Me and DH bought our house 4 years ago. We love the house and the area, it's near a great school and a park and I can walk to work. Our next door neighbour moved in not long after us. He is an unemployed single dad of a 6yo. His garden is a tip, his landlord is uninterested. The main problem though is that we're pretty sure he's a drug dealer, and his house/garden (and ours as it is a terrace) reek of weed all the time.
I'm not sure what SS would make of this last part really. DH is debating having a chat with him about it - we don't want SWs judging us thanks to his habits, and I'm pretty sure he wants to avoid being on their radar.
I guess what I'm asking is - should I be worried about this? What would you guys do in this situation?
