Ot - WWYD - Neighbor Issues

She's obviously a "Me Person". I know a lot of people like that. They're only really interested in themselves.

I'd just stay away from her. Your kids will have other friends too. Usually kids will end up playing with any kid available. Maybe you can find an online local Mom's group and find someone else close by.

Good luck

OP I can surely empathize with you!! I know the type - see my babysitter thread.

OP, while I can certainly sympathize with being really annoyed at what seems like rude behavior, I have noticed that some people really and truly don't know any better. We once rented a vacation house at the beach with another family one summer. Our DHs went to high school together and we are now in our mid-30s, with a DS and DD each. Anyway, each morning I would wake up and made breakfast for the kids, all of them. While they ate, I made their lunch for the beach. The one morning I woke up late I found her DS eating breakfast she made and my DS sitting on the couch with nothing. I asked him if she had offered anything and he said no! This is 1 out of probably 100 stories I could tell you about this person, all with similar inconsiderate points. The funny thing is, she often tells me about how inconsiderate others are to her in various situations. We don't live close, so these people are in her town. I eventually came to realize she is clueless and walks through life without stopping to think about those around her, and she was not "sending me a message" about anything. Rudeness comes with intent, IMO, and I think your neighbor is just not the personality type you can put up with for a close friend.

I do think your right - I don't think she realizes that shes rude, I don't think shes trying to send me a "message" - shes kind of in a cloud, a "Me Cloud"!! Oh well, I don't plan on calling her again, and if she calls here - thank goodness for caller ID!



Thanks for your imput everyone!
