Neighbour has asked to park on my driveway for party?

[cheeryi]

Initially me and my NDN were quite friendly with each other, we would always talk etc.

Due to a misunderstanding with her neighbour on the other side (at the time she was closer to her, they were Fb friends etc) she stopped being so friendly with me.

One time we both come out at the same time and she just ignored me.

Anyway me and her other neighbour now talk and cleared the air about the misunderstanding it’s my NDD who has been exposed as a stirrer and a gossip.

My NDD also created a Facebook group page and everyone was invited to join apart from me.

Anyway long story short, it’s one of her DC’s birthday in few weeks and she asked my DH if her visitors could park on our drive on that day.

He advised her to ask me as I am the one who works from home.

AIBU to say no to her?

Sorry typo NDD means next door neighbour.

Do you want to be on good terms with her ? Is so , then you could make life a bit easier for her DS birthday guests (not for NDN directly but if parking is an issue then would she have to move her own car for them?)

Or if you consider she's ignored you , given you the cold shoulder over a daft misunderstanding with her other NDN and excluded you on the FB group , then a "Hell will freeze over first " answer is the go-to .

Be prepared for her to ramp up the hostility if you refuse . She probably thinks approaching your DH is an olive branch .
Good for your DH telling her it is your call though not just rolling over or making the decision for you .

If it’s no skin off your nose, yes you’re being unreasonable.

If it’ll cause you issues, explain.

As PP said it depends on whether you want to repair the relationship or not. Will it be inconvenient for you? Will you be using your driveway at the time?

If she's going out of her way to ignore/exclude you then she's got a cheek to ask for favours. Just say no.

If it’s inconvenient, say no.

If not. What’s the harm?

If she asks I'd say no and I'd also make a point of parking on the road that day.

What a cow.

Rise above it, say yes if it only inconveniences you in a minor way.

If it's not convenient then say no.

If it wouldn't cause any bother then it would be a nice gesture.

Don't cut off your nose to spite your face...

I think just this once it's ok BUT be prepared for future requests and/or CF parking if they think you are away.

It would be a good way to repair relations.

I would say yes. Relationships with neighbours are valuable things and why make things difficult? Assuming it's not hugely inconvenient for you why wouldn't you say yes?

I would say yes but milk it a little bit - ask to join the FB group she excluded you from. Building bridges is a two way process.

I am a firm believer in karma and what goes around, comes around. It would be a no from me, but I have no interest in being friendly with neighbours anyway.

In our case working from home means that our car is on the drive. Is it the same for you?

I’d say yes unless it caused me a genuine inconvenience. You never know how they might be able to help you in the future.

If she asks you, I would bring up the fact she has ignored you and excluded you from the Facebook group. I wonder if she will actually ask you. Make sure you park on your driveway that day if you don’t hear from her before then.

Can be but we have parking permits here. Depends how accommodating I would feel.

Don’t move to the village I live in. You would probably be ducked in the pond and then burnt at the stake.

For the Greater Good.

I'd be immature and say 'did you not see my post on the neighbourhood FB page, saying I was having work done on driveway and apologising for parking on the road'....😇

OP, has she asked you yet?

The Greater Good...

Well first NDD has to have the balls to face up to you. If she does I would agree, if it doesn’t inconvenience you.

Nah I wouldn’t, fuck her.

Wtf!!
She ignores you, shit stirs, and deliberately didn't invite you into a neighborhood WhatsApp group - would I fuck let her park on your drive!!!

Absolutely not!!
