Slept in your bed?

Said 5 year old has ASD (this may or may not be relevant but I didn't want to drip feed)

Another neighbour told me that the mum, dad and ds had been spotted in the hours several times for periods of about 20 mins. They told her they were playing with the cats.

Their ds however told my 9 year old dd that he played with ds1's toys (one in particular is stored in the wardrobe so they must have had a good mooch) and that he had played with the mickey mouse toy that was in my wardrobe (this was hidden for ds's birthday which was when we were away).

He said that he had watched tv on ds's bed and that one night he slept in dd's bed and his mummy and daddy slept in my bed.

What the actual fuck????

Do I have to confront them? They won't be feeding the bloody cats again, that's for sure.

People with aspergers tend to tell the truth. I wouldn't have them back in my house.

Interested in this thread?

Yes, I think you have to confront them. But do it in a "you'd never guess what Little Jimmy told me you got up to when we were on holiday!" sort of way.
But why would they stay at yours if they live next door? It doesn't make a whole load of sense.

PippiLongBottom · 16/09/2011 21:25

Oh god. Do they? I wondered if he was imagining it or it was wishful thinking. What if they actually did sleep in my bed? OMFG.

Hassled, it kind of does given the conditions and circumstances next door. Can't go into too much detail for fear of outing us. They live with other family members in squalor

I've no idea what you should do. I just wanted to say, that's so wierd. Why would they want to sleep in your bed? Wierd!

belledechocchipcookie · 16/09/2011 21:28

They don't lie. Your neighbours are lunatics.

curlytoes · 16/09/2011 21:29

X posted. That's kind of sad then but all the same not great for you.

nokissymum · 16/09/2011 21:30

Thats sounds frightening! Dont even know where to start, if you ask them they'll be sure to deny it and if you call their 5yr old to witness, i reckon he'll be too scared. If you keep quiete about it, it will eat you up.

But then i suppose there's no harm asking the 5yr old to see if he repeats his account again and then asking the parents, you never know........

Lets see what others say.

StealthPolarBear · 16/09/2011 21:32

Well he can't be telling stories about the stuff hidden away in your wardrobe can he?

PippiLongBottom · 16/09/2011 21:39

Exactly Stealth, re the wardrobe but I wondered if the bed stuff was fanciful. Dd has questioned him twice now and had the exact same answers. Grim.

MollieO · 17/09/2011 22:06

Surely you'd know if people had slept in your bed, been through your things? I would.

PippiLongBottom · 17/09/2011 22:19

Mollie: even if it had never occurred to you?

We arrived back at 1am with a new puppy that we collected on the way. Wondering whether anyone had happened to sleep in our bed was probably the last thing on our mind tbh.

Oh, how strange, and how sad, if that was a "holiday" from their difficult life.

VivaLeBeaver · 17/09/2011 22:25

I'd be mattress shopping in the morning. Grin

bushymcbush · 17/09/2011 22:27

Like mmelindor, I'm actually feeling a bit sorry for your neighbours if their home life is so unpleasant that this seemed like a good idea.

Totally understand how freaked out you are at the same time.

PippiLongBottom · 17/09/2011 22:27

Mme Lindor: yes and no. Obviously I don't want to say too much. It's a bit late re mattress. We got back a month ago Hmm

You know 'how clean is your house'. People aren't disabled or whatever but must have some kind of difficulty. That.

erm, my aspergers son can most definitely lie!

that's a fairly sweeping generalisation to make belle!

thisisyesterday · 17/09/2011 22:33

imagine if they had actual SEX in your actual bed!

they couldn't change the sheets or you'd notice... you might have slept in neighbour-sex-bed!
