So my neighbour has made herself a few enemies on the estate where we live.
She would make the effort to talk to everyone and seemed lovely.
Over time it became apparent that she was talking about other neighbours behind their backs etc.
She seems to be up in everyone's business.
For example when one neighbour had a gardener come and do some work, she came out and questioned who he was etc.
She did the same when another neighbour was having some patio slabs delivered, came out to have a nose and ask what was going on etc.
My next door neighbour dosent like her at all, and she makes a point of actively avoiding her if she see's her and has told her child to not engage with her either.
I also maintain a distance from her as I find her intrusive and nosy, and I just say hello and that's it as I learnt any info that is disclosed will go around the whole estate.
I saw her today as she was taking her little one out and she approached me quite upset.
She mentioned her LO was at nursery now, she was working part time and how she had noticed an unpleasant atmosphere on the estate and if I knew anything about it.
Certain neighbours have addressed it to me that she is nosy and stirs but I have always shut them down as I don't want to get involved in neighbourhood politics.
I told her I keep myself to myself (which I try and do, but will help if needed) and she looked a bit down.
I feel abit sorry for her and was considering if I should perhaps be more friendly to her as she is a single parent.
AIBU?
