I know I am not the only mum in the world to have a bad day but that's how it feels right now!!! My two neighbours either side have been ignoring me and making me feel very isolated. my partner thinks I'm overreacting!! My DD wants to know why she can't play next door, my best friend is having her own issues so hasn't got time for mine, I'm up to my eyeballs in debt and I'm feeling very alone!!! Is there a group I can join to make new friends that I can chat to and maybe meet with for coffee or stuff?

where do you live hun?
near anyone that would meet up, I would if you were near, I'm in south west scotland
for you, men never understand how much we can be affected by people ignoring us ar things for no reason and it must be hard when you dd wants to play there

I live in Barking, Essex. I don't know if it makes matters worse that it's my time of month but then I always seem to blame everything on that. I have been feelign like this with my neighbours for a while now. Veryone tells me to ignore them back but it's easier said than done especially when they used to talk to me!!!

you can always come here for fun and chat, sorry I don't have any other advice, I know how it feels to feel crappy and alone and stressed, it sucks but mumsnet has helped me alot

It's just nice to have someone to chat to who doesn't judge me. i have always been an emotional person so when I react to something people who know me think I am over reacting. Maybe i am? It's just that I have a neighbour either side of me and they are best friends. When I look into my garden they chat over my fence to talk to each other, even when I am in the garden like I'm not there! It seems they talk to me when they want to and have even stopped saying hello to me. The only time one of them talks to me now is if they want to borrow something and they get their DD or Firend to ask me for it!!! I don't want to approach them about it incase I make things worse but it's really getting to me.

that sounds awful, a bit like being back at school, I am really emotional too and that would really upset me, especially as you can't get away from it as they are neighbours. I really wouldn't know what to do, sorry
have you been on mumsnet before, I don't remeber seeing you but that doesn't mean anything
it's really good on here, just jump into the threads, people will chat

PINKKIMMYLOU · 13/08/2006 15:23

I've been on here once before but went on the wrong thread as it was hard to join in as all the mums already knew each other and were having their own conversation about meeting up with each other!! Didn't really give it a proper go. Than kyou for listening. It's times like this when I wish I still smoked!!!

give it another go cause there are loads of threads to choose from, if you click the link at the top in the active conversations line that says without buying/selling then you see all the active threads from all the topics except the buying and selling

I know it's terrible, I was drunk when I choose it
I'm 28, married for 6 years and have a 6 year old, a 16 month old and I'm 15 weeks pregnant.
If you fancy a whinge then you can add me on msn or just come on here and shout

PINKKIMMYLOU · 13/08/2006 15:54

Thanks for that. My email is [email protected]. Not as exciting as yours. Congratulations on being pregnant. My partner wants another baby but I'm scared witless. I said if I shout a lot now what will I be like with 2??? Actually I am getting better with DD, she will be 3 next month.

Latest update on neighbours. I confronted then yesterday cause they wouldn't let D play with other kids!!! They said I was the one that's been rude and I actually ended up apologising!! Bit annoyed with myself for crying infront of neighbours and still feeling tearful. Everything happened at once hormones need replacing. Think I'm having a midlife crisis, ther than that feel fine

Thank you so much. It's nice to know that not everyone I speak to hates me!!! It's seems everything I do lately is wrong!!! Speaking to people like you makes it realise it's not all my fault

Thank you to everyone for being there to listen. Am feeling much better today. Am talking to P again and on an even keel. DD is behaving wonderful. Neighbours couldn't be nicer if they tried so much so telling me all their woes!! It's nice to know that I'm not alone in all of this. Only thing now is my best friend still ignoring me but will put that on hold for a while as she has got lots of issues. Will just be there if she needs me xxx
