Bin wars!

[ilbehonest]

I have a child with Sen and a toddler so have lots of waste i.e nappies and things my eldest has chewed on and broken it ripped to shreds and I have always kept bins at the front of my property by my front door on my boundary. Ndn has started asking me to move it saying it's an eye sore for her and it's better to put the bins out the back and bring them round the front one a week for bin day. I want to be respectful and maintain decent relationships but I also think having to walk through the garden everytime I want to put rubbish out is not what I want to do. What would you do?

Your bins, your house, your garden - you do what works for you.
If NDN is so concerned they can move the bins out & back every week.

I think this too but I don't want to be fighting over bloody bins when I have children to look after lol. I don't think she understands how little things like that can make life so much easier when you have children that are hard work and have high needs. Also what do I do when I take it out like take both my kids with me? I can't leave them unattended and I couldn't see them as she wants me to use the back garden walk round the ouside of her house then place them at the front. I am the middle house.

She kept repeating that she just takes her bins through the garden when their full and then once a week walks the bin round the front. Like I was an idiot and I don't understand how to take a bin out 😂 I was a bit stunned as it's been this way for ages and she never had a problem so I just sort of said ok.

Put your bins where you like and tell NDN to mind her own business

Tell her you applaude her schedule but having dc means your routine works for you.
.repeat as necessary

Don't get too involved with neighbours. Tell her in a robust manner that its really none of her bloody business where you keep your bins and if she doesn't like it she can go and live elsewhere.
