to hate my neighbours

[drlove8]

..... because they have destroyed my daughters "garden". DD4 has special needs ... we cant use most of our garden because the neighbours use it as the local tip, and as a toilet for their two dogs.its not safe.
there is a small strip of garden at the front of the house that is usually kept really tidy .... its mine and too far from the neighbours door for them too dump their rubbish.
DD4 has a thing for flowers.... she has few words and flowers is one she will say without prompt and with understanding.
so we decided that we would grow dd4 some flowers.
Together , dd4 and i planted some flower seeds in a corner, and i put some edging down to make it seperate from the grass. Then we waited for the flowers to grow.
they started to come up and blossom.... every day DD4 would go to her wee "garden" and say flowers, she'd mabey pick one and be grining for the rest of the day.
this doesnt sound much, but is a big big thing for DD4 , she has learning difficulties/suspected autism and was so attached to her wee space.
Today , when we returned from the doctors, we found that the edging has been riped up for the second time and her flowers have been trampled on.... the rose bush that was planted has had all the branches kicked so there hanging off...... neighbours were sitting laughing when the saw dd4 scream when she saw what they did..... the daughter had a vile smirk when she saw us come up the garden path....How can anyone do this to a disabled child?

• have you previously fallen out with your neighbours over anything.

drlove, I don't know what to say. So sad for your DD.

[FluffyBunnyGoneBad]

That's horrible. Your poor, poor child. I wished I lived in Scotland so I could help you clean it up.

I hope they get lice in their armpits!

[Tidey]

Where do you live?? Is it a really rough area with a lot of antisocial people and other problems? Or so you just have thoughtless and arseheaded neighbours? Is there anyone you can complain to about this, the council or anything? So

Our children btw are 3 and 5-the eldest who is under assessment for aspergers etc. oh and we have TWO cats, both neutured.

people are sick.

Do you have any way of locking your gate or something. or is it a shared garden?
can you contact the HA? (if its rented, not owned)
horrible people

[GlastonburyGoddess]

on our *car

[GlastonburyGoddess]

-god help their new neigbours in devon

[Thunderduck]

Where in Scotland are you?

[blinks]

might be an idea to go to them and ask if they've seen anyone near the garden... big doe eyes etc. tell them that you know for a fact that it couldn't be them as they'd never do anything so cruel etc.

implore them to tell you if they see anyone hanging around with intent.

thank them for being such lovely neighbours.

then wait and see.

[drlove8]

i have had bother with the neighbours since i moved in here 6 years ago.... the two prevous tennents moved because of them.... its the tennents children (teenage 14yrs , 16yrs, 19yrs, )that are the problem mainly.... but the woman is a twat too... She told me she laughs when she hears dd4 screaming at night, or when she has a (autistic meltdown)temper tantrum.
the only thing ive ever done to them was ask nicely that they stop dumpping rubbish/smashing bottles/ destroying my kids garden toys.
police cant help, and the council wont do anything.... we cant afford to rent private -and there is no council stock , so we cant move with them either..
sorry just needed to vent , it gets a bit depressing sometimes.all i wanted was for dd4 to have something to connect her to the rest of the world...

[VeronicaMars]

Could you have some flower plants indoors maybe? Different ones in different rooms?
Oh and I'd be tempted to post their dog shit through their letterbox!!
Neighbours can be the main cause of stress for a lot of people.

[idontbelieveit]

So sad for you. Your poor dd. Can you maybe plant something on a windowledge inside so they can't destroy it? i can't believe how awful some people can be

[Thunderduck]

And lice in their pubic hair would be preferable.

[drlove8]

Glastonbury omg! thats horrible, what an evil thing to do.... we live in fife, our home is in a four in a block, sort of 4 large flats in one building , has a semi-shared garden.... partly fenced off, but i would gladly pay to have it fenced off completly... but as the neighbours also destroy the wooden fence, it would have to be a metal high one.... and council wont give permission.
its just rotten luck...

[Tidey]

I'd agree with blinks, but by the sounds of it they wouldn't even bother denying it was them. Unfortunately it sounds like they are proud of their disgusting behaviour. I'm so sorry drlove8, it sounds like a horrible situation.

[FluffyBunnyGoneBad]

Can you install a CCTV??

The police should be doing something, it's criminal damage. I'd go back and tell them you will be contacting the media unless they pull their fingers out and do their job.

You can get ASBO's in scotland can't you?

[drlove8]

thunderduck - you've got me laughing....i hope the lice have bio-hazzard suits on .... going by the mess of the garden theyre not the most hygenic people in the world. poor lice.

[Thunderduck]

If I was closer I'd help out in any way that I could.

Is it possible for your dd to have window boxes or those mini greenhouses to grow things in?

[Thunderduck]

You have a point.There's no need to subject the poor lice to such horrors. Though perhaps the resulting irritation would be worth sacrificing their lives for.

[BigGobMum]

Thunder - they probably already have lice in their pubic hair!

I hope they all get piles the size of grapefruits.

[drlove8]

fluffy we have cctv , but its aimed on the car.... they smashed windows before so ....
police are useless and dont do a thing...
as for asbos.... think the son has some already.... dont think they are actually for anything other than to give the neds a "badge of dis-honour"

[FluffyBunnyGoneBad]

and gout, sooo painful, maybe chicken pox, this is nasty great if you catch it as an adult.

[Thunderduck]

No.Piles the size of watermelons with the texture of pineapples.

[drlove8]

actually i just wish that they would realise how hard they are making life for us.... what they are doing to dd4. what do you call people with no concence( spelling) or thought for others? people who have no care for society's rules and have no thought in destroying or vandelising.i wish they would just leave us alone.
