The OP didn't actually say he wanted them to help with his gardening - he was using it as example of how things were different in previous generations.

Well yes, I mean homosexuality was still illegal, racism was rife, women didn't have access to reliable birth control and were thereby excluded from the job market - things change.

So it's OK that people can act like entitled !!!!!, as long as we can get birth control??? :T

OP... are you still actively trying to sell your property...I see from previous threads that you were marketing it.

Did you implement any of the changes that posters suggested to perhaps enhance its ability to sell?

If you are still trying to sell have you considered changing agents or at what stage are you currently at?

Having read a few of your threads I think you are perhaps deeply unhappy not with just the house you are living in but perhaps even the town or place where you live...things change and clearly you are downbeat about where you live...can I ask...are you in anyway resentful that your neighbour upped sticks and was able to retire abroad?

You talk about the generation today not seeming to have respect for others but it could quite easily be that actually you have very little respect for them either...that's a sad situation on both sides.

Life was,for some no doubt easier in the 60's 70's and even 80's but with each generation there is always an element of conflict...we can all look back and say things were better when....
But the reality is there was probably still elements of unrest between neighbours or whatever its just that time sometimes clouds our memories.

And with that life moves on....you only get one,so shake up your life if needs be and make that move to a happier place not just physically with a house move but with life in general...….
Don't always expect others to change,sometimes its just as easy to be the one that makes the change.

This reminds me of where my mum lives. 30% housing association and 70% owners with the original right to buy owners long gone. Everyone is acutely aware of the which group people fall into. Stories about any problems start with a knowing look - “the people at no 4 - tenants of course - ....” and usually some reference to number of kids, employment status etc.

The consequence is that I find it difficult to have any sympathy even when there are genuine problems with the neighbours. It makes me wonder if I might be a pretty rubbish neighbour too if I lived surrounded by people looking down their noses at me.

She should have perhaps thought about what it would be like bringing up five children alone before having them!

The lifestyle choices of one person should not have an adverse effect on those living around them.

You don't know her circumstances, partner or husband could have deceased, no need for the insinuation of bad morality - that is projection. The fact that the father is not around for, whatever reason, is nothing to do with her next door neighbour. or you, for that matter.

Did you read the post about the neighbour being fined for not sending her two youngest children to a special school 2 days a week? Also the bit about leaving her children with her parents and spending all night out? This is a really nasty person who doesn't care about anyone. She doesn't care about her children at all.



You have to feel sorry for the children because their mother doesn't care about them. Because she doesn't care about them she is not teaching them life skills and stopping their anti social behaviour. A badly behaved 4 year old is not nearly so much of a problem as a badly behaved 15 year old.



I can never understand why people like her who don't like children and find them a nuisance have so many. She would have realised after the first child that she didn't like children or want to spend anytime with them but then she had 4 more.

Of course, but how does her being fined - have anything to do with the next door neighbour? Did he have to pay the fine? Or her babysitting arrangements? again nothing to do with her neighbour.....

Well actually we do not have a garden! just a terrace overlooking the river! So I never said I wanted her to do my gardening!!!!!
All I said was that I, when younger would do our elderly neighbours grass as he was no longer strong enough to do it. I never expected anything in return but his wife made lovely cakes!

I think what your problem is that when you bought this house the area was relatively more expensive than it is now and it is now in decline so landlords can afford to let their properties to the neighbour from hell because they don't feel that they are going to lose very much when the property gets wrecked by these awful tenants. The reason why you are getting awful tenants is because the amount of rent that you can get for these properties is relatively low compared to what is available in the rest of the area and so the landlord isn't trying to get good tenants. Basically anyone who will pay the rent will do.



What you need to do is to move to an area where a landlord would mind if a tenant wrecked their property. I would suggest a smaller property in a more expensive area.

So as I have said before our neighbours moved abroad 4 years ago and their house has been rented out. We now have the fith single mum with unruly kids living there.
They moved in two weeks ago and we haven't had a nights sleep since. Just like the other renters she has children, five from 3 to 15 years old, the two eldest have been excluded from school and play loud war games till the early hours. The youngest wakes at about 5 and from then on the mum screams and slams doors.
I bet that just like the others she will run up debts and leave when six months is up and we will have another lot arrive.
When did this country change so much, we are retired and I well remember renting a house for years, helping elderly neighbours with their garden and trips to hospital etc. but now all we get from renters is bad language and noise.

No point in the neighbours from hell reading it as you wouldn't be able to tell if they were telling the truth. The idle parent next door tells lies to her parents. Read the post about babysitting.
