Thanks for your answers, everyone. I was starting to think this was something new! I've also been feeling crazy--I bought a blackout shade for the window on our front door so people can't see in and know we are home!!
And I likened it to living on a college campus as it reminds me of it with all of the organized events and pep rally type of things held a couple of times a month. Just three weeks ago, the woman across from us had a live band event in her driveway for the cause of that week. Our only concern was to get back home before it began so we could get into our driveway. As long as it's not after 10 PM and we can get into the driveway, we don't care what they do as long as they don't bother us to participate.
We're tired of this as they've become more aggressive lately. I can't say anything as people would be out here with torches and pitchforks. Some poor old man complained on the site last week about being upset with the door to door stuff and got lambasted. We are introverts and just want to come and go and enjoy our home when we are here. We have our own causes and charities we quietly donate to or volunteer for. I can't stand the way these moms use this as photo ops for there kids, always posting pictures of their kids handing checks or donations over.
I would have no problem calling out their social media bullying on social media.
I would have to care about their opinion of me to let it bother me, and while I'm friendly with my neighbors, they aren't my friends or my family so I really don't care about them at all and their opinions mean nothing.
Try your best to ignore them, ignore their solicitations, ignore the social media page and just go about your business. If things escalate to the point where these neighbors are harassing you in your own home instead of just social media, involve the police.
I could not live like that, I would not just hide out and take what they are doing.
