To want to give the next door neighbour's wife a piece of my mind

[Rightouslyangry]

Name change for this

I live next door to a large family of 2+5 kids. We have 1 singleton so I'm having to be diplomatic so DS isn't alienated in his own environment.

The adults do take the P**s, turning the 4 U7 year olds to play unsupervised, allowing them to run riot over everyone elses property. Expecting the neighbours to provide the adult input. I appreciate things are not easy and try to help where I can. (passing toys etc on etc) I'm not patronising, I'm sharing what we have.

Recently certain things have occured. Parents leaving a 15 yr old older child to care for the younsters while they get drunk, Verbally abusing me in the local town for a situation UI had nothing to do with etc. am sure the 2 youngest are left home alone while she collects the older 2 etc. I kind of let things slide to be diplomatic.

Recently things have come to a head. I have a degenerative condition that affects my mobility. She has started to make snide comments about me staggerring/falling over and today she was doing an inmpression of me. She was unaware I saw and heard her.

I am so upset ansd angry. How dare she? I could make a huge scene and have a go about her attitude to everything and everyone. But I won't, it isn't worth it and a dignified silence is the best option but I AM F*CKING ANGRY.

Sorry to take up so much of your time. I needed to vent, thanks for your time

do you own your own home? - do they?

whilst i dont think that leaving a 15 year old in charge whilst they get shitfaced is out of order

i do think that bullying and not supervisiong chilren is.

phne social services and ask for their advice

YANBU!!! What a bitch!!! That's awful to take the pee out of someone who has a medical condition. Doesn't she know you're ill???!!!

Guess you're not on speaking terms then?

Righto, how absolutely awful.

hmm. well a 15 year old would usually be deemed old enough to babysit. especially if at night time whilst the younger children were in bed asleep.

as for the rest of it. Your right to feel angry but also that it is pointless making a scene.

I think she knew perfectly well you could see and hear her when she was taking the piss out of you.

YANBU - keep your dignity.

The patented and trusty 'EricL Household Brick Education Device' is what is needed.

Easy to pick up, small enough to fit into a bag to carry round, light enough to heave at someones face, heavy enough to do some serious damage, abrasive and rough enough to be left at the scene with no fear of fingerprint evidence.

Sorted.

Does what it says on thr tin.

Where can I buy one?

Oh they know I'm ill, I make no secret of it as I have no reason to be ashamed of it.

The 15 yr old isn't a problem. It was bozo husband staggerring in and boasting of how funny it is that he could dump his responsabilities on her/everyone else while he goes to the pub that effing annoyed

Their behaviour is becoming increasingly outrageous and today pushed me to the limit.

Harrumph

EricL is my new hero , Dragons den here you come

Me thinks a call to social services in called for

Anyone heard of those new fangled 'Parenting Orders'??? Sounds like they could be excellent candidates.

Letting their children run feral in the street! Why have that many kids if you can't control them??!!!

More children = more benefit to spend in the pub don't you know!!!!

contact the council and ask to speak to the Anti social Behaviou officer/ team.

not just for council tenants - for everyone

They sound like nightmares, poor you, but I think your doing the right thing with the silence, no point in getting into a feud situation.

What would the council do to non council tenants, I was wondering about this. I know the council can ultimately evict tenants, but surely they couldn't do that to homeowners?

If I were you I would be nice and friendly with them but also be calling SS if I were worried about any of the children! That way she hopefully won't blame you and give you loads of aggro
