Ok. My neighbour's kids are basically good kids. But when the boy (10) has friends around they throw stones at our windows. They have also thrown stones at the other neighbours' places and at an old lady walking past our block of flats.
Last night my husband went and spoke to their mother because the kids were deliberately kicking a ball at the windows of the shops below our flats.
Her attitude is basically 'Kids will be kids, that's just what boys are like'. They both ended up raising their voices.
Then her estranged partner came out and started telling my husband to 'bring it outside' while smacking his fist into his hand. My husband told him to stop trying to intimidate him and came back inside. Then the guy came and knocked at the door, I answered it and he asked for my husband. The lady next door then came and pulled him away.
What the hell do I do now? The estranged partner seems a nasty bit of work and I am kind of freaking out now as I'm home by myself a lot of the time with our one year old daughter.
I said to dh today that I think we need to avoid having public matches with the neighbours in future. I also said we can't make the lady next door give a fuck about her kids' behaviour.
I really dont want DD in an environment where we are having screaming matches with the neighbours.
He now says I am always a defeatist and have a go at him for trying to do anything positive.
Oh arse. I never wanted to move to this fucking horrible area in the first place let alone buy a place we are now STUCK with!!
Sorry for rant, am on 4th glass of wine.
