... my mother is not lazy

Mum lives in a council house in a bit of a dump bad area, the woman next door was nice when mum first moved in, always coming to borrow things and ask mum to baby sit, there has been no falling out between them.
Her kids have grown and now she no longer needs a baby sitter but now her son is forever at the door to "borrow" a fag.

Anyway the council are responsible for mums gardens, back and front, they come and cut them, however the hedge at the front is a bit over grown had a bit of a growth spurt (it is not a shared hedge and nothing at all to do with the woman next door). Two blokes from the council turn up today to cut the hedge and the bitch next door is out telling then how bloody lazy my mother is to let the hedge get so big...
Blokes (who had not been before) were agreeing... mum had the window open and over heard it all and was very very upset...

Now the thing is my mother is 66 and confined to a wheelchair as she is an amputee with one leg... Tell me how the hell she is meant to cut the bloody thing herself.

I do not live too close to my mum although I do get over to take her shopping and do other things for her, and cutting the hedge is low on my list of things to do the day I am there as shopping for food, Dr appointments, hospital visits all take president.

So AIBU to tell my mothers neighbour that if she is so fucking worried by the hedge cut it herself, but do not stand out side my mothers house calling her lazy, because she is not. I am so bloody angry.

My sister has already reported the council workers, I will deal with the nutty bitch next door.
