Neighbour finds our christmas lights "annoying"...

You can be as annoyed as you like tbh.You said it didn't need to be done..assuming you mean the lights..says who?I don't need you to put my problems "into perspective" either,we are all facing our own battles and you know nothing of the daily struggles my son has.My child is different to your family member end of,let's leave that there shall we.

Sorry, I was going to let this go but I can't.

You may not believe me when I say that I do know how hard it is for you and your family when you have a family member with Aspergers or Autism.

Regardless of how stressful your son finds the whole Christmas thing, at least he will be spending it at home and not in an institution because he has a mental disability. I realise you may not give a damn about my family member but please remember that they won't be spending Christmas at home- how stressful will that be to someone with Aspergers? That is all I am going to say on the subject.

Back on topic. I am glad that you sorted things out with the neighbour (what I meant was that the lights didn't need to be up so early IMO) and I hope that you can now enjoy your lights and she is happy with how they now are. And all the best with the new addition to the family.

Which bit looks unfinished? Can add more to complete it if it'd make you happy but doubt the neighbour would be impressed:p
Do you mean there's none down the right side?It's a semi detached house and we thought the attached neighbour having a string of lights down along two of their windows might hack them off

Please don't think I'm slagging you off because I'm really not, it just looked like you ran out of lights on the right hand side but that was without knowing you live in a semi

I didn't say I didn't give a damn and of course I feel for your relative,it must be terrible~many apologies if it came across that I was unsympathetic.I have experienced my child having too many meltdowns to the point of several adults/teachers/doctors restraining him after simple things like someone banging a tambourine near his head or a floor in school being changed and that is hard enough so I really hope they help your family member.
Thankyou for your good wishes(14 days :eek:) x

That's ok Hadn't actually thought to mention it but can see why it looked that way x

Wow this thread has covered everything!Net curtains,dogs,parkas!
So does me having a rottie AND owning a parka make me a chav??
p.s there are no net curtains in my house.People walking past are more than welcome to watch us on the Wii if they really want to :rotfl:

Perhap you could set up a webcam outside your window so we could all share the experience and comment further?:D

LOL!!!Come to think of it maybe me and hubby playing the Wii in our pants (hubbys 30th where vast quantities of Remy were consumed and jeans got in the way of the bowling technique:p)is the REAL reason the neighbour likes to keep the curtains open :rotfl::rotfl:

i dont know how you manage to spend so much time on here with all of your children especially one with special needs bump, you must be very organised. My advice would be get off here and enjoy your children and do not worry about your neighbour, life is tooooooooooo short x

What a shocking dig. If you wanted to do that, why bother wrapping it up as advice and adding a kiss at the end?
