I'll make it very clear though... I am in NO WAY worrying about their family at all. I could care less about what they do, how they treat their kids, etc. Its their life. If they want to take that path, then so be it. Im focusing on my life, my family. If they harrass us in anyway, we are to contact the police deptartment and let them take care of it. We've told them the day after their son assulted our son that we are to have NO Contact with them at all anymore. We made it very clear to them to keep their children off of our property and we will keep our children off of their property. Anything that is affecting us, for example, their parked car on the side of their home, that has been dead for two years, and now has weeds growing all around it, up to my knees, and is spreading onto our property, we have to contact the city about and let them deal with it. We dont make no contact with them. Im not worrying at all about them. The examples I listed in previous posts were told to them months ago. They have lived next door to us for almost three years. We've gone on with our life and we dont care what these people do with theirs.

C'mon now, thought you weren't worried about them anymore. Who cares where their money goes, and why she doesn't work. It's their prerogative.

FYI- I'm a homemaker now since all 3 of my kids are in school. :)

It's their business how they spend their money, sure, but they gave a transparently lame excuse to what sounds like friendly and neighborly advice from her.

One family rents and the other family owns - that's probably where the disagreement comes from.
 
All I was doing was offering them what I would do if I were in their shoes. Were a family of 5 on one income. They are a family of 4, with one income, plus their mother lives with them who gets SSI each month. They get more than we do as far as income goes, and still cant make it. All I was doing was telling them to look into the grocery spending rather than the gas stations. Its worth paying alittle more extra gas money to get more food for the kids you love.

The only reason why I said this is because the mother has came to be so many times over the years weve lived next door to each other, telling me she had no clothes for her youngest. I felt so bad, I went through alot of our kids clothes and gave her tons of jeans, shirts, even a nice winter coat. All of which I see the little boy wearing alot. I tried to point them in the right direction by telling them of places that could possibly help with bills that were late, and still they dont appreciate anything. So all of what Ive spoken to them about, I quit doing. Its their life. Let them be the one to take care of their own problems.

All of the stuff we did to try to help out this family, Im not ashamed of. Im greatful I had the chance to help out this family. But as of now, we are done dealing with this family.

It's clear you're not fully understanding what I'm trying to say so I'm done with this thread.

Good luck with everything Kristin.

You just keep repeating that Im worrying about this family. Im making myself clear to all, that Im DONE with this family. We are not at all communicating with this family. They can make their own choices in life with how they want to live. Im not stressing or worrying about this family at all. Why you keep saying comments about me worrying about this family, i have no clue why you keep saying, but Ive made my point very clear in posts, we are done with this family. its in god's hands now.
 
kristin---you think maybe the kids need a little mother stuff from you? maybe they could learn something--if their mom wants to be foolish let her,but kids can usually benefit from good honest help
 
Those kids need good parents. But I wouldnt dare get near those kids after what Ive seen them do. If the parents want to make that choice and get them into a psychologist, or doctor that can give them some suggestions as for their behavior, then thats up to them. Just seeing how the parents are with each other, you can tell those kids are theirs. Both kids have had troubles in school, and have both now been in trouble with the law. If I were in those parents shoes, I would be doing anything to change their ways and make things better for those kids. But again, thats my opinion. I just want to live my life and not focus on what they do in their lives.
