What would you do?

As much as I don't want to let her taste her own medecine, using your own children to get back at your neighbor is indeed a bad example with parenting. You would ask your children about how her child would talk about that woman. A nutritionist who got the celebrity twins anorexic? Ain't that good enough reason to tell her to mind her own business and raise her own child properly? She envies your property that you got? If she's rich, she could buy a lot elsewhere, can't she? She ain't better at all. Using her own child to bear false against her neighbor is already is low. If I was wearing your shoes, I'd talk with her son try to ask in not an offending way on how her mom tells her or for what reason. Call it nosy as well but, inquire from other neighbors about that woman you are speaking of. Maybe they also find trouble with that woman. Maybe your not alone so you can ask them as well on how they handle such a neighbor like that. Hope things go well. Don't be intimidated. Let your children play with her son. Everytime they come back after playing, correct the misconceptions that they might say when they start asking things that are completely in the wrong proportions.

I try to ignore people like that. If she calls you, tell her you can't talk and hang up. I wouldn't let my child play over there or have anything at all to do with her.

I would avoid her as much as possible. I would let her son play with your children but only at your house. I think I would have slammed the phone down in her ear when she called me and informed me she thought I was a bad parent.

This is a hard one. I just stay away from people like the one you are describing here. I would sooner have to drive my kids to someones house rather than let them play with this womans son. Then when she came to me asking me why our kids didn't play together any longer, I would let her have it. I would tell her what I thought of her and that would pretty much be the end of it. I haven't run into too many people who will ever want to talk to me again after I tell them how I really feel.

wow! a celeb's nutritionist. tell her you have a very good shrink that might help her get over herself. duh! i hate people like that. good thing houses here in our village are far apart from each other. i don't know. that's tough. coz if i tell you not to mind her -- that would really be hard. its difficult to just not mind people like that who does nothing but cause trouble when all you really wanted was some peace and quiet. i feel for you... my wife would probably tell me not to mind the person. that we should just mind our own business even that person is trying her best to technically break the walls of our home so she could join in the fun. my wife's the kind one. i think im not. LOL. i'd probably do more outrageous things just to piss her off. and i'll be laughing my heart out.

Oh my goodness I have one also. Mine are retired with apparently no life. I bought my home as a destroyed repo. when i was outside the 1st day of cleaning. My neighbor piered over the fence and said. Hi what is your name? I responded with a smile, then immediately her next question was. How much did you pay for the house? I couldn't believe my ears. I chose to ignor then she asked the 2nd time. Once again to chose to ignor the 3rd time all hit the fan. I replied without the smile and said, I don't believe that is any of your business. I haven't talked to her since. No great lost there. Sometimes you can ignor things or you can stand up for yourself. Sounds to me that you are not fitting her standards. If that is the case why is she in your neighbood? After all she is a "NUTRITIONIST FOR CELEBRITIES" YA KNOW. LOL. Don't let her get to you. People with the issues in their own lives always try to control everyone else. Its really to bad the kids have to pay the price of not being kids. I think yours may be better off not dealing with her but her kids I feel bad for. Good luck to you

I would put poplar trees about 3 feet away from the fence itself. They're fast growing (a few feet a year) and you wouldn't need a taller fence, and the poplar trees would be like a living fence/hedge to keep your property from her view. Other posters made good points about documenting everything, and also calling the police to lodge a noise complaint. I wouldn't mention ANY price for the property (even if it is extremely high) because: once you've said a price, you just never know, she might hold you to it and actually have that kind of money. Just stick with: it's not for sale to you, or anyone, at any price. Personally, I wouldn't let my child play over there, nor hers at your house. I do believe she is trying to get you so fed up that you give up and move (so they can buy the property cheap.) Don't let her intimidate you, you belong there every bit as much as anyone else in the neighborhood. She's definitely not better than you, she sounds like she's a very small minded person with a big mouth and a 'holier than thou' attitude.

I would just ignore her from now on. I agree with the person that posted before me about calling the cops when you hear her yelling at her kid. That's disturbing the peace and a domestic dispute. I would keep calling until it stops. Maybe then she will knock it off. Plus each time she starts crap with you and your family, I would call the cops as well, because again that's disturbing the peace. That way they will have her on file. I don't know if I want a nutritionist that's had the cops show up because she's abusing her child. Verbal abuse is just as bad as her hitting him. Who gives a flying crap that you inherrited your house and property. If something ever happens to my parents (God Forbid) I will inherrit half of my parent's 55 acres of land and one of the 2 homes that's on it. My husband will inherrit his dad's cabin in the mountains in Arrowbear, CA when he passes. She's just jealous that your property is worth more than hers. Just because you didn't buy it, doesn't mean you don't pay property taxes each year. When she offers to buy some of your property, give her a price that will make her faint. Well, you can't blame her for the Olsen twin thing, because you can tell someone to eat healthy doesn't mean they will do it. That's the least of her problems if she's yelling at her child at night when he should be sleeping and the nanny takes care of him during the day. How old is her son? She isn't to bright if she's bad talking you in front of your kids, because kids will tell you anything.

what I would do is turn the tables around I would start doing what she is doing to you, drive her crazy to the point where she wont say another word to you. This might also make her want to move, you said she has money so she can buy a house somewhere else mabe in hell cause she sounds like the neighbor from hell. I had neighbors like that once, they where so nosy, everytime I had company over we had to stay inside because if we would chill in the backyard they would just invite themselfs. They would knock on my door every damn day just driving us crazy and if I would open the door they would try to push thru the door, till I snaped one day I just went off on them. Till this day they dont even say hi and we are happy again.

...dont care about others who never cares about you..that is my policy...eve i have such neidhbours who create nuissances.....let those dogs bark...dont waste time by throwing stones at them.....
