I live on a new housing estate within which is the cul de sac where our house is. Over recent years I am hearing more and more information about the people that also live on our estate.
This is all new to me as previously I worked full time and did not really spend much time at home as such so was never privvy to all the comings and goings of people where I lived!
However, I am now a SAHM and having two kids when we go for a walk I am chatting more to neighbours and so forth and I seem to be being confided in with info about other people where we live. So much so I am now wishing I could be anonymous (which is obviously not a real possibility!!!) and some of the stuff (if it is true) is not very nice! But maybe it is just gossip.
It is not helped as we have to contribute to the maintenance of a shared green space and play area.
How well do you know your neighbours? Any tips for keeping things harmonious?
