Apologies if this isn’t in the right section, im
new to this! But desperately want advice as I’m at my wits end!
Basically, my DD (8) and her friend whose nana lives on the street have been close friends practically since birth. Another family moved in a couple of years ago, their DD is a bit younger but always got on well with the other girls. As my DDs bestie is only about on weekends, the new girl has started to cause trouble when she has to share my DD. She’ll constantly go to her Mum to tell on them for leaving her out or god knows what. Recently I guess her Mum decided she’d had enough and told little girl she wasn’t allowed to play with my DD and her friend anymore. Which obv upset my DD.
This little girl went around telling any kid she could that she wasn’t allowed to play with my DD and neighbours DD in attempt of excluding them. It didn’t work creating more frustration for little girl. The next thing was the mum having a massive psycho fit at the girls, screaming at them and scaring them shitless. My DH wouldn’t let me go speak to them to find out what was wrong because she screams a lot and her partner is extremely hot headed. He didn’t think I’d get anywhere and wanted to protect me. I realised she’d blocked me on insta too so couldn’t go down that route.
The other day she shouted something catty over to her little girl whilst me and DD were about, couldn’t fully make out what. And tonight my DD came in upset saying she was playing with her bestie and little girls Mum comes out saying loudly right next to them to her little girl “them little bitches better not be being little shits to you.”
I’m furious but feel helpless. We’ve also had 2 years of noise pollution from them (shouting, loud music etc) one of their step kids had stolen my DDs bike (literally stolen it was gone) and when another neighbour came fwd with footage from their security cam, they got all psycho and confrontational. Hence my DH’s reluctance to try and reason with them.
Theyre only renting but they hope to buy eventually. I truly hope they don’t or we might feel pushed out of our home of 11 years. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 😊
