To avoid my neighbour forever...

[iliketogallop]

Nc for this as I'm actually quite embarrassed.

The daily mail are a bunch of dingleberries.

Anyway...got a bit carried away playing in the garden with my 2 year old today and decided to literally gallop like a horse, whilst enthusiastically shouting "nayyyy""nayyyyy". Toddler is loving my horse impression which only spurred me on further to create an obstacle course for "horsey" me to complete.

I look up and my neighbour is in her upstairs window looking absolutely horrified and backed away slowly as our eyes met.

I can't ever cross paths with her again, can I?!

She is being a dick .. I have a son with special needs who can't play out alone so I play with him.. I bought a scooter so I can keep up with him.. we have fun and I don't give a shiny shite what my neighbours think of us having fun together 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Lesst it was your kid & not your cat! 😂😂 my neighbohr enjoyed watching me build my cat a tent so she has somewhere cool to sit !

akmum18 I used to have an awesome posty chap where we lived before, we would always chat on the step and pass a few minutes. Until the day I answered the door mid feed and ds being at that nosey stage pulled off, my rather impressive letdown gave the poor bloke a bit of a squirt right up his neck.

After that he would jump off the step when I answered the door shouting 'don't shoot!'

My teenage dds are adopted and rather difficult. We live in a very respectable street and have the police here on a very regular basis, often with an ambulance too, and on one memorable occasion a fire engine as well.
It’s not unusual for one of the kids to be out the front screaming “fuck off, you fat cunt,” or similar at our house.
There’s nothing for it but to hold my head up high and say our neighbours don’t need to watch the soaps, they can just look out of the window for their entertainment.

I've nick named my little dog "tits" as she likes rubbing them along the rug with her legs trailing behind. It's stuck. Hence I call out "Tits! Tits!" When she's out in the garden.

I don't care

Nothing embarrassing about being a fun parent

You sound brilliant OP, please never change

We live in a terraced house. Our bedtime routine consists of taking DS2(18mo) out of the highchair saying "go go go!" and him and DS1(4yo) frantically scrambling upstairs with me right behind them as I try and supervise "eat them" .

I'm supposed to be a Spinosaurus? the bad dinosaur and it usually lasts for a good 10-15 mins as we run the bath and chase them around roaring and occasionally catching one and pretending to eat them. It's their favourite game ever and they are both usually screaming and in absolute laughing hysterics.

God knows what our neighbors think.

I had a really surprisingly long chat with a bee the other day as I was gardening. Didn’t realise neighbour was about 7 foot away.

Surely doing horse impressions is standard if you are a parent of young children? What's the issue?

My neighbours practice their dancing out the back. The first time I saw this made me laugh. I suppose it's not what I expected to see first thing in the morning!

I have to say I love my neighbours, they're lovely, good people and I wouldn't swap them in the world.

I realised the other day in a supermarket that I had been loudly exclaiming "potatoes! Poh-TAY-toes! Pa-tatas!" In an increasingly ridiculous accent to my ds 1 year for about 3 aisles... in my defence I had picked up some potatoes...

I flashed my boobs at dh just a my ds friend looked through window to see if ds wanted to play

Brilliant - been feeling knackered today with non sleeping ds2. You really made me smile and reminded what parenthood is all about.

Giddy up!

I still run after my DS pretending to be a crocodile, he is 16....

I’m sure she wasn’t horrified.

I talk to the toad in the compost him, usually ask him if he's OK and to watch out for the incoming veg peelings. Also talk to plants, the dog and the washing line. Nothing wrong with being batty.

@LennyBelardo that's fab!

I love singing to animals. I used to walk a dog called Kady, and I used to sing her Tom Jones' - oooh oooh oooh she's a Kady... she's got style, she's got grace, she's got whiskers on her face, she's a Kady...

She should have laughed the miserable goat!! I'm usually pretty shy and self conscious but I've never given a second thought to running around the park being the poor dragon getting battered to death by a bloodthirsty Knight and a demented Princess.

I would put that in the fuckit bucket right away. Carry on as usual.

I was standing in the garden with my husband today and told him to check out how toned my buttocks were think Jennifer Coolidge in friends style ( lost 4.5 stone and been doing loads of Pilates ) and my neighbour next door was up a ladder painting and clearly heard . What a Beamer .

What? You sound even more easily embarrassed than me! Our daily garden game is animal races, where someone names an animal and we then run in the style of that animal. We only have a front garden so I think most of the street have seen this game. I think your neighbour was just having a nosey, and probably a little giggle, and was embarrassed that you spotted her.

I once bumped into an old friend I'd not seen for years. It was night time and snowing. I was in a sledge being pulled by my then 6 year old son. I was shouting "Mush! Mush!" and was cracking an invisible whip whilst making loud whip-cracking noises.

Next time she looks out of the window smile and ask does she want to come and join in!
