    OMG. we have neighbors that moved in next door a few months ago. we have helped her and her son. my husband has fixed her flat tire and I have driven her to her job to pick up her check and a few times I took her son to school. No big deal.

    well it's summer and I didn't hear my daughter in the living room. so I got up to check and she was on our porch with the mom next door. The mom had asked my daughter if her dad ( my husband) could talk to her son because of his attitude, he keeps threatening to punch his mom. then she proceeds to tall us that her 14 yr old daughter just told her today that she had sex with a 16 yr old boy. the mom says " I keep preaching to her, but she doesn't listen"

    This is the same woman who mentioned to me that the world is so bad that god is going to put an end to it soon.

    My husband is really stressed right now because of things at work and is looking for another job. I have to find a job like yesterday. So I am applying everywhere I can. My hubby doesn't like to get involved in things like this. We don't her that well to start counseling her son. He has a dad. She should have him talk to her son.

    So her son comes over to play video games. ( my hubby is at work right now) I tell my daughter that she has to do her chores first and I have to fill apps online. The mom comes in as well to watch the kids play videos games.

    I don't have time for this drama so I continue to fill out apps in the computer room. I guess she finally realized that I was busy so she went back home.

    This person drains me when we do talk. I'll be glad when I go back to work. LOL

    The hairs in the butter! You have "one of those" kind of neighbors. Soon, all their problems will be your problems. Ever give a stray cat a saucer of milk? They are now your cat.

    Loosie,

    You are living one of my worse fears at the moment,

    Our great neighbors of 15 years, just moved away 2 months ago, and the house is up for sale. This is the only house that is relatively close to us.

    We are so worried what type of new neighbors we will get...

    I've had the type you describe a time or two before and I can understand how
    stressful it can be. You find yourself trying to hide from them, seems there is always one drama after another...

    I sympathize with you...!!

    Funny how people perceive things. When I saw the title to this thread, I instantly thought of "Three Mile Island." This is because I am from Pennsylvania. We automatically associated TMI with the nuclear power plant near Harrisburg. Of course when I read your thread, I realized you meant, "Too Much Information."

    On the other hand, maybe a meltdown by you to them would do them some good!!

    LOL!!!

    yesterday I had to tell my daughter twice that we had errands to do and she needed to come with me, just so the mom and her son would leave. normally I would let my daughter stay home. But then they would have stayed with her. Then the son asked if he could go on errands with us. I said not today.

    Normaly I am very easy going. But we are having a lot of stress right now I just can't deal with someone elses drama
