So I had a next door neighbour move in around 2 years ago. I was told she was a single mum with two kids (6 and 8), recently divorced making her new start. Brilliant I thought - kids for my children to play with and someone for me to talk to! Hindsight is lovely isn’t it….
she’s caused numerous issues since she moved in, mainly her lack of respect or acknowledgement for any neighbours or anyone for that matter apart from herself. To name a few incidents so far:
- Telling her family to use our drive way without asking
- Telling her builders in the property starting work at 6am on a weekday waking our whole home up.
- advising her children friends and family to use our front garden as their cut through so it’s quicker.
- having house parties on random nights in the week, keeping us up until the early hours when we have work.
- renting bouncy castles for the garden and allowing the kids to be in the garden screaming until 1/2am whilst she drinks inside with the adults.
- illegally boarding dogs - constantly!! We are constantly kept awake by barking dogs which sound distressed - I can’t work from home any longer due to the noise in the day time from these dogs. She has a tendency to lock them in rooms and disappear for all hours of the night pubbing and clubbing. (This has been reported)
- constant stream of men coming and going. It’s very obvious what they’re doing in the property but now I’m thinking is this a money maker for her due to the amount of men?
- Random men walking through my garden at all hours of the night setting off our alarms making us think we’re being burgled.
- men shouting abuse at my ring doorbell cameras and trying to intimidate us. Never met these men - don’t know who they are!!
Now let me bring you on to the latest event. So we know she sleeps around a lot. She also seems to never have her children anymore - or if she does it’s very rare almost like she’s lost interest.
a random man who we have never seen before has now, for the past 2 weekends, came and stayed at her house. Which is fine! Except he has what can only be described as a toddler (wobbly Walker - 2yo max) joining him every time and staying there. Toddler is crying saying daddy I don’t want to go in. Man saying “it’s just so daddy can see his friend…”
now is it my business? I fear for this little baby boy being dragged round to this woman’s house all so his dad can “enjoy” himself. I think it’s so inappropriate and bordering on abusive.
please help. What would you do? Ignore it? Report it?
