What do you think about my neighbour?
He lives next door with his wife and doesn't work, they're expecting a baby in April. He is always onthe ponse from us. be it coming round and drinking all our drink and never inviting us round there, to driving my car without my permission and no insurance when I was on holiday when they had a key to my house to feed the cat. Now she is pregnant, he has asked us if we will be on call to take them to the hospital whenever she is ill. I tried to say no, saying we both work 6 days a week and are knackered and donlt want to be woken up in the night and told him he should call an ambulance, but he kept on making excused till I ended up being pushed into giving him what he wanted, He is a bully basically and not a nice peron (I know he has offences for cruelty to kids and animals) I'm not scared of him and neither is my husband and have now had enough. Am gonna tell him we won't be on call for them and thats that - thye have family/friends they can ask but donlt have the cheek to!
They have woken us before about something silly and he fell down the stairs and I had to call an ambulance then they called us at 3am to pick them up!!! we ignored it. He said her Dad can't ever take them to the hospital as he likes a drink - well so do we - we work so hard - do you think I'm being mean saying no I wonlt be doing it for them????

Sounds like you don't have neighbours, but kids next door. If the woman is stupid enough to be with a man like that, then let it be her problem and not yours. You definitely have the right to say 'back-off,' but my question is: why did you give them your house keys? If you don't give them the keys, you shouldn't worry about the car. If you say that you and your husband are not afraid of him, then just say "sorry, I am not a taxi service!" Don't take other people's problem as your own - sometimes you can only be a spectator. If you are unable to tell them that your 'friendship' has run its course, then I think you might have a different problem. Good Luck!

Who's in charge here? A person usually gets what he lets another person do to him. Put your foot down firmly and stick to your guns.
