I'm trying to keep an open mind b/c I know they have a son w/ special needs - that in itself is a challenge - and the husband is unable to work b/c of a disability. I want to be a 'good neighbor,' esp. to the little girl who's stuck in the middle of it all - but I don't want to become a doormat. When it comes to confrontation, I tend to run the extremes: I either end up avoiding it OR I'm a *little* too good at it, if you know what I mean. ;-)Elle*Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10604921872829122749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14787041.post-1125189932618738002005-08-27T17:45:00.000-07:002005-08-27T17:45:00.000-07:00Sounds like an experience I had a few years ago. ...Sounds like an experience I had a few years ago. We moved to this n'borhood and our n'bors next to us were really gracious. Very gracious. The parents were really young.. the mom was a stay at home parent while DH traveled for business. Every time my DD (who was a year or two older than their oldest) had a friend over, n'bor would send over her youngsters with food. I hated feeling like a grouch about it. Turned out the mom was always overwhelmed what with 3 kids between the ages of 4 and 1 at that time.Sugarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14946125047970269404noreply@blogger.com
