Nosy Neighbors

When we first moved into our current rental house, I was so excited to be living in such an amazing house for such an amazing price and it was in a great location as well! The first week our neighbor helped us till up the dirt in the front garden area so we could plant flowers. Our other neighbors gave Jax a super cute motorcycle toy that he just loves. We have had continually good experiences with the neighbors to our right (who we knew before we moved in) and our neighbors to the left were okay.

Unfortunately they do have very loud grandchildren that come over 3-5+ times a month and are just crazy. I try to be pretty open minded about how people should raise their kids but these children are just obnoxious. They are always yelling, and the grandmother is no better. I can rely on her to regularly shout ALL the way down the street for one of them or yelling threats at all of them. They always have a ton of cars parked on the street and in front of our house but we never say anything. They also have very loud UK game parties where they leave their doors open and we can literally hear all details of the game because their TV is so loud.

Now the reason I am listing their offenses is because I am ticked. This loud lady had the nerve to come to MY house today (knocking obnoxiously loud of coarse) and say that my dog barking was driving them crazy. I hear the dog barking as well but she has been outside MAYBE two minutes. She said they can't even go in their backyard anymore? I'm sorry, but that confuses me. You have a PRIVACY fence, why would you feel that you can't go into your yard? She's not going to jump the fence and eat your shoes, she just is loud occasionally, like her grandchildren.

She continued to say that this goes on for hours at a time and they just couldn't keep it to themselves. Myah is only outside maybe 45 minutes throughout the day. Usually, we put her outside, let her pee, and bring her in. Unless there are guests, she's inside! I just don't know what to do. Sure she barks. Yes it's annoying (we hear it more than her for SURE). She is also not the only yappy dog in the neighborhood. You have to block things out if your going to live around people!

I guess it annoys me that the only time she has come to my house is to complain. Maybe you should have come to my house and welcomed us. Said hi when we were all playing outside in the front lawn. Maybe brought cookies and left them in the mailbox with a note about the dog so you don't come off as rude and overbearing. This incident actually made me want to move!

I guess I should be grateful she let me know and didn't call the cops for a noise complaint or something, but maybe your should teach your grandkids some manners or get out of a neighborhood environment where your GOING to get noise from other people's kids, dogs, cats, cars, etc. Maybe next time her kids come over I should "have a talk" with her about her tyrant grandchildren keeping my son awake at night and how he can't even go in his room anymore (sounds pretty dumb doesn't it). But I won't... I'll just vent it on here and keep the dog in. Because that's what NEIGHBORS do!
