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?

Mine too Op Grin

Could you open your windows suddenly just as he passes...or just stand in his path and ask him to stop trespassing please.

GiraffesCantPlayHopScotch · 21/05/2017 14:49

Hope you are OK op

My neighbour also that age and male was constantly walking through my garden. And leaving my high wooden gate wide open. Was driving me mad. I text his Mum one night and he's not done it since.

Willow2017 · 21/05/2017 14:51

Op don't worry about it you will find out in time. Your parents are right you and baby are more important thant that idiot.
Take it easy we will all lurk for when you have news.

PurpleDragon76 · 21/05/2017 19:08

Hope you have no more problems and yes rest is important but I am guessing the not knowing is driving you more mad! Oh ArmyDad, don't do this to us Grin

SnugglyBedSocks · 21/05/2017 19:44

Oh OP. Hope you're ok. Do keep a record of everything

PyongyangKipperbang · 21/05/2017 19:47

I think Army Mum and Dad need it spelling it out that "I will tell you when you are better" just creates more stress as you are wondering how bad it could possibly be. It would drive me mad!

scootinFun · 21/05/2017 20:09

Hope all is ok with the baby Op. Am sure your dad is more than capable of dealing with Mr Hedgehopper.

HopefulHamster · 21/05/2017 20:25

Thinking of you OP!

wizzler · 21/05/2017 20:41

Best wishes OP... new baby will have a fabulous grandad!

Oldieandgoldie · 21/05/2017 21:01

I think neighbours need to know that you're in hospital with pregnancy 'issues', caused by stress. (such a shame if they don't hear you say 'possibly'!😉😄)

PhyllisNights · 21/05/2017 21:21

I'd keep my eyes to the front window, record the times down on paper, type it up and then sending it to them in the post. See if the behaviour changes then, if it doesn't, it would time to up the ante.

Willow2017 · 21/05/2017 22:07

Phyllis

What the actual greaking use would that be?

He doesnt even live there!

Up the ante to what? An email?

Oh and 6 pages in you may like to consider that things have moved on!

SteamTrainsRealAleandOpenFires · 21/05/2017 22:12

I bet you now have a new flower bed. Wink

AnathemaPulsifer · 21/05/2017 22:39

Can't believe I'm actually going for no drama as neighbour stress sounds like the last thing you need :(

dottybooboo22 · 21/05/2017 22:51

glad to hear that you and the baby are both ok.
as much as it irks us op, we can wait for further updates.
take care. Smile

TheMaddHugger · 21/05/2017 23:43

awwwwwwww Big Soft ((((((((((Hugs)))))))))))))))
Try not to stress. there is nothing you could have done about any of this regardless. Nothing. except be there and stress more.

You have a great family team behind you. Trust they handle it.
Because they will

Hope you're ok OP

I think Army Dad is enjoying being on stag. He's obviously missing it.

When I had insomnia as a kid, I was told to guard the top of the stairs. Instant cure for insomnia, guard duty.

(But he should tell you so you can update us)

robinia · 22/05/2017 00:40

Just tell Dad to create a MN account Wink

SteamTrainsRealAleandOpenFires · 22/05/2017 03:13

I wonder if the bloke, after thinking about his attitude, has decided to join a branch of the Military and has asked/pleaded with your DDad to train him with a view to applying et cetera?

qazxc · 22/05/2017 08:04

Oh I understand op, not knowing would drive me mad because I'd keep imagining scenarios, probably worse than what actually happened.
Just try and not sweat things that are out of your control. In the grand scheme of things, twat boy and his antics are unimportant.
Take care of yourself.
