DO you have good friends or neighbors in your life?

If so, count yourself lucky. We used to live next door to an uptight rude single mom. The first day we went to look at our condo she came over and introduced herself and daughter and then told us we were walking up and down the stairs too much and it was too loud. It was one complaint from there on out for the 2 years we lived there. We just moved about six months ago to our duplex and we were already hesitant about meeting our neighbor. But she has been the complete opposite. SHe has never once complained or said or done anything mean to my children. Even when they are annoying her on purpose. She has become a surrogate aunt of sorts and we are very lucky to have her. I know not everyone is as lucky . We have experienced both ends of the spectrum it seems and we like this end more. Do you count yourself lucky like us? Or haven't even noticed? Or are you on the other end like we used to?

we did have some really good friends in mine and my husbands life but they passed away about a year ago.. These friends were the best ones a person could ever ask for.. They would do anything for us and we'd be the same back... Good friends are so hard to find these days at least the best ones that make a friendship last forever!

We have had the same neighbors for twenty-eight years and they are the best. They have raised three children during that time and there has never been a problem. We also had three boys when we moved here our children were older but again no problems. What a blessing!

It is very true what they say you can choose your friends but not your neighbours. We have a very nice neighbour next door who we look after, take to the shops, she is 88, likes to be independent but still needs help, I have known her since I was a child, she is lovely and we go round and see her, we are very fortunate with our neighbours.

i am lucky. my neighbors are teachers so they really well understand when my baby wakes up in the middle of the night crying. specially when my son is not feeling well. a year ago it was a different neighbor and he was rude. you cant even look at him because he will tell you with an angry voice "wht are you looking at?" i wa just looking because i want to meet his eye and atleast smile but he was really a very angry man.
so i say i am lucky now than before.

Hi there. Yes we do have a few good friends in our lives, our children have good friends in there lives too... Our neighbours are awsome, we all share and swap veges and fruit in our neighbour and all look out for each others homes and property... I think we're lucky to have what we have...
