my next door neighbor is a young mother 19 years old she's been living next door to me for almost a year now. my bad i told her about the place.... when she was pregnant she would knock on my door every 5 minutes asking me if something or other was normal with pregnancy. then after she had the baby she would text me or phone me and ask me to go over and put her son to sleep for her, when ever she has the slightest problem she comes to me and asks me what she should do..doesn't sound that bad huh? but here's the catch whenever i tell her what i would do or what my mother would do she doesn't want to do it. right now her son has a bacterial infection and a viral flu, me and another lady on the way home tonight both told her what she needed to to that he needed to be with her and she insisted that he needs to be away from her so she can reboot like what kind of crap is that. then she's complaining that one doc told her her son needs apple juice and gatorade and the other doc is telling her pedialite and how the ministry isn't helping her get any of this. when we told her what pedialite was and told her how to make it. she kept trying to tell us that she was giving him gatorade watered down and apple juice watered down. when we let her know not to water down the gatorade she got upset and said that she's just going to get a family member to take him for the night. i swear i am at my wits end with the girl and its so hard for me to not want to mother her she 19 but she acts like she 12 not to mention i have an 18 year old adopted daughter..... what should i do she driving me crazy

Well if it was me, I would just tell her, up front, bluntly, that if she is not going to take your advice, not to bother ask you at all!
There has to be a point where you shouldn't have to take this, and I think the sooner the better for your sake!
Remember, 50% of the reason she acts like this is her fault, but the other 50% is your fault for letting her treat you like that!
You've got to 'cut her off at the pass', tell her to take it or leave it!

She couldn't possibly expect you to be around and help her anytime and any day, right. What if you move to another place then how would she be then. I think she realizes this, but she is just too caught up with you saying yes all the time and taking for granted that you won't ever say no. For the sake of your sanity in this sense, speaking the truth or giving a blatant no each time and making excuses will let her get the drift.
