Ok so I'm a single mum to a 6yo who is severely autistic, has various other health problems and has only been in school 3 hours a day for the last year. I moved here a year ago and in that time I've decorated, made a sensory room and although I don't work I am constantly at meetings/cooking/cleaning/teaching my son etc etc you know, mum stuff.
Whenever I go into the garden jungle my neighbour (who btw plays loud music all night most nights and has thrown glass bottles and bbq food over the fence into my garden) comments 'oh I've never seen the garden this bad. Can't anyone help you? Can't you just buy a strimmer? My grass is over 3 inches so needs mowing, wow you're a very relaxed parent aren't you. And then tells my son not to throw that/pull that/do that. He then likes to tell me his house is spotless and he does everything himself as he's single at the moment. Then, he'll start saying 'poor you, single mum, must be hard. What's your favourite drink, do you get time for yourself, I'm lonely in the evening what do you do in the evening'
I just want him to leave me alone!!!! I'm too quiet and scared of confrontation though and I end up laughing it off and saying id rather play with my son than worry about the garden and it'll get done eventually. It's really getting me down to the point where I never want to go out there
