I just had to get this off my chest. We moved into our current house a little over a year ago. For the first few weeks, it was great compared to apartment living which was what we had been doing the last few years. About a month after we moved in, the house next to us was sold, and our nightmare began. It started when they put 1000 watt bulb in their lamp post which shines DIRECTLY into our bedroom. They leave it on all night because they're afraid someones going to steal their koi(they breed them). Well, we finally got used to that, and then came the teenagers. They have 4 of them all together, most of whom live there full time. I have a 3 year old and a 1 year old, and I'm afraid to take them outside most days, because of the amount of swearing that comes over the fence. The parents are just as bad. They have a 2 year old daughter, who is my daughter's only real "friend" since she's not in school yet, and she is such a BRAT, I can't stand it! All she does is whine and cry to her mommy, who does Not discipline her at ALL. She gets to do whatever she wants, including carrying our yard decorations around and leaving them in various locations, letting there annoying little dogs in our house(who by the way, already have unlimited access to our yard because they're so small they can squeeze under the fence), going up to my daughter's room and COMPLETELY destroying it, AND she's already taught my daughter to say shut up! I should mention that they are general contractors, and have been doing some work on our house, ONLY because they are doing it so cheaply. However, it seems that because we are paying them to remodel our house, it gives their kids the right to come over whenever they please to play with my kids toys, steal sodas and other drinks out of our outside refrigerator, and take vegetables out of our garden without asking, then throwing them on our lawn along with emptly water bottles, soda cans, and various other refuse. Our lawn mower has been at their house for weeks on end, as has my Mom's truck(my mom lives with us). In fact, they have put over 3000 miles on her truck in the last few weeks, which is more than my Mom drives in 4 months! Not to mention, my Mom paid to get it cleaned just before they borrowed it, and the front passenger seat is now ruined from something getting spilled on it. She also found a switchblade and a pack of cigarettes in her truck that had to have belonged to one of the boys(who are 14, 14, and 15). Well, not that I've even come close to scratching the surface, but I think that's enough venting for now.
