Next door neighbour having BF over

[Jen4813]

I no alot of people will say mind your own business but I am finding this hard to ignore. My next door neighbour lives only with her 2 kids. Her BF (not the kids dad) has been coming round about 3 x a week since lockdown. He stays for hours or all day even then leaves. They don’t have a garden to be ‘social distancing’ in. I just think this is taking the piss now that she keeps having him round, not to mention putting the kids at risk. Should I report her?

"No skin off my nose"...except it might be if the virus then gets to more people and puts you more at risk.

There was a comment on another thread about how this situation has shown how many people would actually gleefully report their neighbours for hiding Jews.

That.

@HermioneWeasley exactly!! I am shocked by it

sobriquet umm where do you live? 😳 No reason....😂

Lincolnshire

Not much else to do out here apart from getting busy

AHH nice, nowhere near me...good good 😂😂😂

Not much to do round here either, I've watched everything on Netflix 😂😂😂

Wow how boring myst someone's life be to care this much about someone elses. If she has young kids on her own, he could just be helping her keep sane! My god

Please do not waste valuable police time and resources on something so trivial.

I am so sick of people getting worked up about "the rules". Would you rather live in china or Spain where you would get arrested if you go out without a permit?

If the alternative is that he moves in permanently before they had naturally reached that stage in their relationship this could cause financial, practical and emotional difficulties for her and the kids. Having to change her benefits maybe or explain to the kids other parent. What they choose to do causes you no issues whatsoever.

My female neighbour has a male friend round every day. He has learning difficulties and she lost her mum last year. They are both isolated and vulnerable to a degree. They meet at the park in the morning, pop to the shop together, she cooks him lunch and they have a coffee in the garden before he walks home in the afternoon. Would you really deny these two people a bit of quality of life for the sake of "the rules". Should he move in to keep the neighbours happy? Of course not. Keep your beak out.

Op -heard of the Gestapo?

Why don't you see your daughter?

Not a full crime as such.Don't get involved.

Literally no one cares.

This is exactly why, despite both living alone and WFH, I had to temporarily move in with my BF as I was terrified the neighbours would see me coming and going and raging about it (despite knowing I’m completely alone!). I need to learn to not give a toss what people think.

I couldn't get worked up over this, must be really hard being a single parent right now, she has to assess her own risk. Not sure police would really be interested if you did report her.

Op, are you having a hard time? Is there something nice that you can plan for yourself tomorrow? Something to take your mind off what your neighbor is doing, perhaps?
Really, focus on your own happiness, rather than stealing your neighbours joy.
