Irritating Neighbor Of A Friend

This is very insulting. I work from home too n it's a lot tougher as you have no excuse to escape home or work end. As the work place shouldn't feel that you are being lethargic- so more expectation there. N since we are home- we are expected to be there for everything. All this minus the office parties, work friends or work socialising. It's more work n less fun.

This is a classic example of kindness being taken for foolishness. Ask your friend to stop being foolish.

- Ask her to block their number.
- Don't open door if they ring the bell, they are not her responsibility.

Good advise. Ask her to use this fiery mood to get out of the mess she got herself into.

Its surprising how she got into this trouble this deep. For this service, she can keep her own in laws or parents with her n atleast get the satisfaction of doing it for their own family.

I am all in for kindness n helping too. As it happens in our residential societies too, but it's emergency based n never at the cost of losing your peace.

- If she wants any peace, she has to stop talking to them abruptly.
- Ask her to say that she has been moved to a new project n it's highly demanding, no timing n all, n keep saying she has office conference calls via Skype n that she has no time for them.

N seriously block their number. If they survived 70 long years without your friend, they can do so rest of their lives too.

- If she shows any weakness, this vicious cycle will never end. So it's her choice.

 

too much really! just block and ignore... ungrateful entitled and exploitative people should never be entertained

 

Just tell her not to answer their calls. If they stop talking to her all the better. It's not that hard.

 

As told do not answer her calls or just politely ask how about her son daughter can come over and help n ..
Really taking your friends advantage of being nice..

 

Please ask your friend to leave her kids at her neighbours house and ask them to take care of them for a couple of hours.

For every help she renders, she must ensure she gets help in return. If she buys groceries, they must cut veggies for her too. Likewise, she must find out the tasks that can be done by them. Least of it, ask her to borrow some things from them for a few things. She must somehow drive in this message that they should do something in return for every help she does

 

Even I suffered with same type of neighbor,she used to come in the mrng time after her husband and kid left, she will stchat like more then3hours , and denominates and instruct me to do this that even my mother in law never did this to me, and she comments me and my kids , and her son is severe autism who always beats my little baby Who is 8 months,she never cooks always takes from me ,it’s like hell to me ,my husband warned me not to talk and talk her directly,I told her it’s bothering me , and she feted without talking me it’s very difficult for her .i feel strange and all my friends warned me to stay away ,and after some time I called her husband .now she stopped talking .
We dream to buy house ,but if we have neighbors from hell ,we won’t get piece and happy.
Am an example for my friends .

 

Yes she should get help from some other means but these are 70+ couple it's no good asking in return..

 

Better to give excuse of career than hubby, since he has to face them too.. But I'm glad there is better progress now..
She should do that without showing any hint of rudeness/complaint.. just ignore the calls and later say she was busy in meeting entire day etc Why entertain unnecessary discussion about helping old people, just sweetly and nicely avoid without actually telling anything to invite analysis on her.
Also, your friend can ask their son's phone number and call up to do any online ordering every-time his parents ask your friend to do. Call him/his wife frequently for any work they assign you and tell you are busy , can they look into it. Call his wife at the busiest time of the day. Slowly they will convince their parents to not bother your friend.
