Neighbour constantly walking through my front garden.

I am not sure if my dh was being unreasonable for shouting at him this morning so here it goes. Not 100% sure if it is my neighbours eldest son or there daughters boy friend. He sleeps there most nights but doesn't appear to have house keys, I know this because he sits in his car at the bottom of my drive waiting to be let in. So he went through a stage of what ever side of the drive I parked in he would park directly behind me across the bottom of the drive blocking me in. This made it difficult to get off the drive as I was blocked in and had to kind of edge backwards and forwards to move the car to the otherside of the drive to reserve off it safely. We have a dropped kerb that runs the whole width of the drive but this didn't seem to bother him. I started reversing on to make it easier to pull off and out of the blue he stopped doing it. He has now moved on walking through our front garden to get to and from this car. So he comes out of their house steps over a small wall and walks right over my front door step and behind my car. He will push my kitchen windows in if they are open wide so he can fit behind the car easier then trotts off down the drive. On occasion if we have been leaving at the same time he has bumped into my dc or I have had to step back to stop him walking into me, I have asked him to stop but he doesn't. So this morning when dh was leaving for work he did it again and dh lost his temper and shouted at him and swore a bit, was dh in the wrong for this and how would you deal with the situation?

Do you know for sure he knows your NDN? If he walks over your property perhaps he doesn't know ndn who knows if they actually want him there?

Reet OP is heavily pregnant having had some complications and her DP is away.

FizzyGreenWater · 16/05/2017 16:19

And army dad needs to let it slip that the reason you are not there in person is because, being heavily pregnant, you've found it quite distressing to be verbally abused in this manner, so you're resting. Let's just hope you feel better tomorrow .

In case It happens again you might need to

build a huge wall, a hugely bigly wall and make the neighbours pay for it! Grin

ChasedByBees · 16/05/2017 16:31

Bloody hell, he's an arsehole isn't he.

Upanddownroundandround · 16/05/2017 16:34

I don't think you/DH are in the wrong. Especially as you have spoken to the boy before and it's a pretty stupid thing he is doing. However going round in person and talking to the adults in the house would have better but you could and perhaps should, do that now.

CoraPirbright · 16/05/2017 16:35

Petty bitch??!!

What an utter, utter arse wipe!!

Hurrah for Army Dad. Let us know how his chat with the ndn's goes!

meettherussians · 16/05/2017 16:37

Can we rent your dad out please? What a dude. I am literally shaking with anger on your behalf at this vile, aggressive, lazy slugs behaviour.

IloveBanff · 16/05/2017 16:39

"I am literally shaking with anger on your behalf"

Shock Good grief. That's a bit excessive.

To add to my list above, I would purchase an emergency cattle prod just in case he has any ideas of doing it again. Grin

FurryLittleTwerp · 16/05/2017 17:08

He'll try again, for sure - he's a self-entitled twat.

Rafflesway · 16/05/2017 17:09

Does your dad fancy adopting a 60 odd year old woman who never had a daddy, Light Grin?

I adore his turns of phrase - real old school and mega effective. "Just what do you think you are doing young man?" Ah, they don't make them like this any more. HE IS FAB!

You MUST let us know how his convo with the neighbours goes. Classy boyfriend their daughter has there Confused.

He spends all weekend there I think he possibly knows them!

Op has explained why she doesnt want to go round by herself this week.

PoisonousSmurf · 16/05/2017 17:13

Maybe 'Weirdboy' has OCD and now he must find something else weird to satisfy his urges?

Your ndn must already know he's doing this if he's coming and going over your property all weekend as well as in the week.

He's progressed from passive aggressive to aggressive shouting 'petty bitch' at you through the window and still climbing over.

I'd be calling the police for advice. You're heavily pregnant with complications, he could knock in to you next time, you'll be at home with a newborn in a few weeks. This sounds intimidating for you and your children and your Dad and DH can't be there all the time. You shouldn't be worrying about stepping out of your own front door.

Inertia · 16/05/2017 17:28

This man is starting to come across as bullying rather than thoughtless. He's deliberately and repeatedly tried to intimidate a heavily pregnant woman just so he gets to feel like Charlie Big Potatoes, throwing his weight around.

Glad your dad is there, and it's definitely worth having your dad with you when you speak to the neighbours.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 16/05/2017 17:32

Your dad deserves a medal!
