Our neighbours are nice enough but very nosey. They appear every time we go in the garden or out the front door. They've even been asking us where we are going recently.

Yesterday their son parked on our drive, they just text us to say he had done this, they didn't ask. I came home and parked behind him. DP had to park down the road as we live on a roundabout. We asked him if he could move it about 6pm before we had tea and put the kids to bed. They replied that he was playing on a PS4 game and couldn't come at that moment. I asked if he would be needing his car for work tomorrow (today) and he said no.

6:45am this morning we are woken by knocking at the front door, followed by the door bell ringing. It's next doors son he's been called into work. Me and DP are on annual leave today and we're hoping for a lie in. He also woke our toddler. I'm furious. Does anybody else feel IBU for thinking this is selfish behaviour?

I have said not to park there again. It's a pain in the arse getting 5 children in the car for school runs, as it is, without having to park up the road.

When he said can you move your car I need to get to work my answer would have been no sorry can’t do that right now and closed the door. His bloody problem if he was late for work. It would have taught him a lesson.

There is no way that he won’t do it again regardless of what they said. CF’s like that never learn until they are inconvenienced themselves

DP told them it's their fault and what did they expect waking a pregnant woman that early 🙈
That's more like it!
Wales34 · 17/12/2020 22:51

Thats unbelievable, so incredibly rude .

Wellpark · 17/12/2020 22:54

Be standoffish with them from now on. Otherwise you will have more of this kind of crap. And tell your husband to not put the blame on you being pregnant or whatever. United front or these cheeky feckers will continue to try and take advantage of you

supersonicginandtonic · 18/12/2020 08:01

@Wellpark he wasn't meaning to be rude towards me. We're always joking about my moods when I've not had enough sleep. I'm struggling with back pain at the mo so not sleeping well anyway 🙈

The neighbours probably indulged their son as a child and have created this spoilt entitled man child. Warning to all soft parents not that they'd heed the warning.

Chailatte20 · 18/12/2020 10:39

Block their numbers now and get a bollard installed in your driveway. No Christmas cards & icily stand offish from now on. The cheeky entitled arse holes.

Tangledtresses · 18/12/2020 10:59

@supersonicginandtonic

I've spoken to them. The husband has messaged DP saying he thinks they've made me angry 😂
Ha don't ever wake up a pregnant woman I'd be absolutely seething!! 😂
supersonicginandtonic · 18/12/2020 11:49

The driveway bollard is a great idea! Hubby reckons I'll forget it's there and drive into it 😂😂

I’m glad you’ve had words with them, though you don’t need to justify asserting normal boundaries based on being pregnant or hormonal. Justifying your behaviour that way tells them they’ve upset a hormonal woman, not that they’re bang out of order.

Will they listen to you when you’re not pregnant? Or will they think it must be that time of the month so you’re overreacting?

supersonicginandtonic · 18/12/2020 18:21

They've blanked me today 😂

Santaisironingwrappingpaper · 18/12/2020 20:06

Win bloody win op!
Bet they are cringing you manage 5 dc and they raised a man child!!

naomi81 · 18/12/2020 20:41

Omg they parked there knowing you are pregnant 🤰🙄🤯 I would have been round knocking on the door that's not on!

They seem to think they have your DH on side, speaking like this about you to him.

I think he should be really clear that TOGETHER you are unhappy with their behaviour; not because you're pregnant or generally unreasonable but because they are behaving like arseholes

sofiaaaaaa · 20/12/2020 16:53

That arrived quickly!

He needs to reply to them that he ordered it/it was his idea! It’s weird how they’re “tattletaling” to him - he’s your husband ffs of course he’s going to be on your side!

Cherrysoup · 20/12/2020 16:56

You’re being anti-social wanting to park on your own drive?! Assholes! Blanking is perfect, I’m friendly with the neighbours but I’m not interested in having a relationship with them! Especially not the one who couldn’t cope filling in a form and didn’t know what initials were this week and tried to come in the house-hello, we’re tier 3! (He’s English, lived here all his life, how does he cope?)

That was a quick delivery at this time of the year, they probably could smell despair !

They've got nerves saying this to your partner !

Waveysnail · 20/12/2020 18:49

Your nicer than me. I would have gone and knocked on ther door after they sent the message about playing on ps4 and told him to move

Santaisironingwrappingpaper · 20/12/2020 20:25

Make sure to wrap some tinsel round it!!
*the bollard not ndn neck...

The son was clearly lieing about not needing his car in the morning and was hoping to wing it rather than get off his arse
