My parking is blocking his view!

[hidinginthenightgarden]

So, the neighbor has just asked DH to stop parking outside the house as it blocks his view! The front of our house joins the side of his house and apparently, that is where his lounge is. So when we park there, he can see our car from his chair and he doesn’t like it. DH explained that we have too small kids to get in and out of the car and so we won’t be parking further up the street and apparently we aren’t being neighbourly!
To be clear, we don’t park in front of his house, we park at the side which is also (partly) in front of our own house.
He has said he doesn’t want to have to phone the police? He is being ridiculous right?

He's bloody mad, we had this with a neighbour - she doesn't like anyone parking in the visitors bay outside her house but it's the only parking on the road......

OP is parking legally on a public road. In reality, that's where the argument ends - he can ask, but she is not obliged to change anything.

Absolutely missing the point. The point being, rather, why not be nice to other people if it costs you nowt to do so?

Can’t get over the amount of people who think his view being obstructed for a few hours a day is a greater need. It’s crazy! I also have young children and completely understand what it’s like when you have get them inside, plus shopping, nursery bags, school bags etc sometimes in the peeing rain. Continue to park where you are. You’re doing nothing wrong.

That accounts for one car not the second.

You lot are totally insane. It's a fucking public road! Park where the fuck you like. It's crackers to consider any part of a public (the clue is in the name) road as yours! Crackers, I tell thee

Exactly!

But it wouldn't 'cost her nowt' it's actually quite an inconvenience for her to park somewhere else.

And it's not because her other neighbours have kids that she doesn't park the other side, it's because they park their car there, she's not preserving the baby's view of the houses across the street!

TwatNeighbour doesn't want to park in the spot she uses, he wants no one to park there.

And he hasn't been reasonable - he threatened her with the police fgs!

It's no wonder there's so many cf threads on here when so many people seem content to be complete doormats.

IMO this is one of those occasions where both are BU.

Yanbu OP. Don’t compromise.

I fail to see how OP is being in any way selfish or unkind. She is parking outside her home, where she has a right to park of there are spaces.

It is the neighbour who is being selfish and unkind by suggesting she should park over the road just so he gets a better view of some houses.

Honestly MN these days is getting a bit barmy.
