((((Sunny)))) You did the right thing. You have handled this situation the right way from the get go, even from when you called to find out your responsibility/liability if anyone were to get hurt. I am sorry your neighbor got offended. It is not the same world it was, even from when your daughter played on their swing....that probably has more to do with his reaction to your message than anything.

My looney tunes neighbors stood outside in their driveway screaming at each other last night. Went on for quite a while. Scott was outside, and another neighbor went outside and stood there with his arms crossed, never said a word, just stood there watching them. Then they decided it was time to take it inside.
They do this pretty frequently. I think they think if they are outside, their kids aren't hearing them...but if we can hear them, their kids are hearing them!! (Who stands outside airing all their grievances for the whole neighborhood to hear?!?)

Takes all kinds to make the world go round, I guess.

Okay, what exactly were they fighting about? I want to know, haoheahha! Perhaps as a group we can solve their issues, save a marriage, change the world!

You are "a better neighbor than that." You didn't want his grand kids hurt! And you've said how dangerous this slide area can be. I know this hurts you, but take a deep breath and know you did the right thing. He is bullying you now. Yes. yes he is. He obviously feels if he shames you enough, you will just give in. The atmosphere he is creating is for him to own, not for you to take on as your fault.

And, if he pushes the issue, after you have talked to him this many times and you see these kids again, I would call the authorities. If he doesn't respect you enough to honor your request, then he doesn't deserve your respect back.

He is being the bad neighbor.

You're right. I do feel bullied. I got to thinking about it after he said what he did about being a good neighbor, and I can count three times the man has spoken to me in the fifteen years I've lived next door. Once to ask permission to put his invisible pet fence a foot over on my property.....I said no problem. Once to ask permission to drive up the hill to take some bags of dirt to his shed.....I said okay.
And once to ask about cutting down some overgrown grass thing that I thought was his anyway. All three times were only to gain access to my property in one way or another.....and now I'm the bad neighbor.

Do NOT accept his words. Just flat don't agree to them. He is the bad neighbor.

I can feel your anxiety from here, because I would be feeling that too. But, take really deep cleansing breaths and know that it is your right as a taxpayer and a homeowner to have say over your property and ultimately yourself.

He is shameful and a bully.

I don't know, Scott said he heard the husband say he was sick of her flirting on Facebook.

Spoiler

Her sister is in serious legal trouble and has been in jail for a year and a half. It was just in the paper she cut a deal and is only being charged with obstruction of justice....she is getting away with helping to cover up 2 murders...so they definitely have stressful issues in their lives. Seems like they always fight after an update to the case, but not only then. Couple times a month, at least, they are outside going at it.

Yikes! That sounds like the 7th layer of Hell issues. I would say flirting is the least of their problems, but of course, I'm armchair quarterbacking here so maybe flirting caused it all!

Hell, I'm thinking of having a mural painted on my ceiling! Maybe have that tattooed on Sunny's neighbor's forehead!

Maybe Marsha can do that for us

Actually Dana Jean is much better at embroidery than I am. It's one craft I haven't done much of so am still on the learning curve.

I'm a boss when it comes to embroidery.

Or so I tell myself.

I've never even tried embroidery. Sharp needles and all

Oh my -- there is so much I can't do. Even the stuff I think I can do, I can't do. But, I try!

Update on the looney tunes neighbors...seems they may be moving! They have a U-Haul in the driveway...or maybe just one of them is!

No, they are both carrying things out and no shouting to be heard.

I know they have been wanting to buy a place for a while. ..how awful would it be to move into a new house on the heels of an awful argument? Ugh.

Well damn cat, I was all ready to analyze the ongoing saga.

But I'm glad bad neighbors are leaving.

....maybe they'll be moving in on the other side of Sunny's Grumpy Butthead neighbor.....that taste of Karma would be delish.....
