So we have a 15m old daughter, we bought an Ex-council house when LO was 4 weeks old. Our neighbours also have a baby, they also have (I think) a young XL bully. There's 5 people in this 2 bed house, not a huge problem. The lady and her partner/ teenage children regularly have loud arguments with banging and crashes in the middle of the night. There's huge piles of garbage in the front and back garbage and used nappies just loose on their front patio (one has been there for at least 3 weeks). There's dog poo everywhere. We have to walk past their front gate to get to ours, and it always STINKS of weed. The mother used to smoke it in the front with baby in the bassinet when it was young but now the smell is coming from open windows. The dog barks aggressively whenever you walk past and it NEVER, EVER leaves the property for walks and has near to no garden (maybe 4mx2m). I have also never seen them take the baby out of the house. I went to drop a christmas card around and there was so much litter and dirty nappies all over the floor and such a strong smell of weed. I invited her to come to baby group with me and for a few weeks she said she'd come and then backed out and now I've stopped asking. I don't want to fall out with them and I really don't want an innocent Dog put down but I feel both the dog and baby might be somewhat neglected. What would you do?
I've really tried hard to be a kind and loving neighbour but I'm fed up of the smell of poo and the litter is so gross, and the smell of weed is so strong coming into our garden.
