Parents fear for selves and others over neighbor insanity?

They can get a restraining order against her if she threatens them.  They don't need to waste money on a lawyer.  They just go to the police station and fill out a form, and if she threatens them again the police come out and arrest her.

Had the same type of neighbor at your age and he isnt safe stay away from him let it be known to your parents how he looks at you and makes you feel when he speaks to you ignore and avoid him..my neighbor even went as far as calling one day when I was home alone and asking if he could just sleep with me once and he would never ask again when I told me mom she went over there with the cops and he was told to avoid all contact with me come to find out about it yrs later he raped and got his 13 yr old niece pregnant and made her tell people that a neighbor did it...Please hun make sure your parents know you never know what can happen during a brief moment you are home alone please be safe and careful...Good Luck and may God protect you.

Ok, couple questions here...HOW do they know how you drive?  WHY are you caring for their granddaughter?  HOW do they know what condition the apartment was in? WHOSE apartment was it?  WHY does your friend tell you what they say?  WHY do you care what these evil people think?  Sometimes where there is smoke there is fire...ARE u doing something to piss them off?  Do Not confront them.  This could lead to a physical altercation.  YOU cannot control other people.  Just get over them.  Tell your friend not to report any thing else they say to you.  Perhaps they are upset she is living with you and not them.  My ex's mom was like this.  I was never good enough, pretty enough, smart enough, good enuff mother, etc.  eventually i just figured it out.  It's her.  It's not me.  She's a hater and she was living rent free inside my head.  Every second I spent thinking about what she said or did that hurt me was a second I GAVE her that I could never get back...well, those seconds added up...it became YEARS...do not make this same mistake.  Good Luck

You should first try to talk to the parents.  If they give you an attitude themselves, then talk to the apartment manager.\nLast resort, the police.\n\nWhen talking to the parents, just let them know that there is a problem.  Don't be threatening.

No! If they were to attacke us, we should not just let it go, this is true, but to just go over there and say Hey I don't like the way you are doing things, you got to do it my way, No.\n Would you  like your neighbor to come over and tell you how to run your home?

I get that a lot but there is very little one can do with inconsiderate people we are forced to live with due to circumstance. What I usually do is avoid these situations as much as I can and hopefully avoid crazy people who might just harm me. I suggest you do the same and hopefully in a year or two you buy you own home with plenty of parking space reserved for you :)

It could just be that the parents are letting their growth take a natural path to begin with where both the kids have equal love and are open to making their own statement.\n\nIn a way it's a good training ground to prepare you for the real world.\n\nIt would be wonderful if the timid kid learns to defend himself voluntarily rather than just be protected and shielded by the parents. If he learns to stand up for himself it’ll help him when he really goes out in the real world because it’s a rough world out there.\n\nThough if this pattern continues without any change for the better then the parents must intervene to settle the issue. \n\nHope my perspective makes sense.\n\nTake care.

not just on my space but everywhere there are predators who pretend to be someone they are not.  your mother is just trying to elimate the possibility that you might be physically hurt or preyed on.  besides...if only all your friends have it, whats the point if you can call them or talk to them at school?

Think about something here before you judge others by their "income" and assume they should be scrutinized to unfair housing because "some" of the "unhealthier" ones in the bunch choose to follow another route.  There was time when communities fought the drugs in their neighborhoods, I know as I lived in those communities and I share the belief today as I did then that it takes a community and not the ignorance of others to correct a problem.\n\nWhy should the elderly couple down the hall have to be judged by their neighbors because they have a low income and where they live is all they could afford?  Should they be treated as "beneath" because this is where there income has led them?  I disagree strongly and believe it is one thing to self govern your own home but you don't have the right to infringe your "digressions" against those of lower incomes and place them into little stereotypical genres such as "the mentally ill low income"...\n\nThere are circumstances that have placed those in lower incomes into those housing units and many of them have morals and values as rich as the wealthy...

Yes, this is very juevenile on their part, and very disturbing. Not at all funny, very pathetic, they must be very unhappy and miserable human beings. I am sorry you are having to deal with them, however, greatful I don't have them as neighbors. I would contact my landlord and also make notes and take photos of their actions. This sounds very anal retentive, however, incase you have to take them to court. You will need the proof for the courts and also for the landlord. This hopefully, will be resolved by the landlord. Good luck to you! The world is full of all kinds and unfortunately you have got some of the most miserable individuals as your neighbors. God bless

You have to keep in mind if their are children involved they will always be the first priority.  You should never expect a parent to choose you over their kids. In-laws I'm a bit shaky on. But you are  not the only person w/this kind of anxiety.

No, I don't because both my neighbors on either side of me are strange.  On the one side are new neighbors who moved in a couple of months ago.  Besides never waving or smiling back at me, they have a collection of life-size dog statues all over their front porch and lawn.  Not a couple, but about twenty or so.  The first time I saw them, I thought they were real and I was scared to death to walk down the street.  On my other side is a real wacko.  He's either very religious or satanic, I'm not sure which one.  I can hear him shouting phrases that sound like they came from the Bible.  He sounds angry.  One time, and this is the honest truth, we actually heard him shouting, over and over again, "I am NOT Ozzy Osbourne"  "I am NOT Ozzy Osbourne".  I'm not making this up.  It's all true.  And my husband wonders why I don't like being here alone.

If you fear your neighbors, you need to let the police know that.  If you fear asking them to be quiet, trust your insticts, but do not ever allow your fear to control your freedom.

That's a very interesting question. I never thought of it that way before. The three patterns that play out with that theory do seem to fit into religions. Makes sense that it would be prevalent in their daily lives also, it's so ingrained to believe they are helpless unless they count on an outside source. Kinda twisted in away...that outside source is what will punish then for not being good enough. I'll say it again.....No child should be afraid of his/her parent.

I think people don't have respect for their neighbor like they did back in the day.  It's all about caring about people other than yourself.  Consider the following question: If you build a privacy fence around your back yard, should you put the "pretty" side (the side without the posts) on the outside or the inside?  People I've asked these days say, "I want to see the pretty side when I'm in the back yard."  I say I want my neighbors to see the pretty side.  It may be a stupid example, but it's a sign of how people think these days.  I guess I'm just old-school.
