[QUOTE="Andy, post: 386110, member: 5096"] I am so sorry Jena! Running away is not always bad - you would actually just be walking away from a place that is too stressful to deal with. I do understand the "This is my town too - I have every right to do whatever/whenever just like everyone else!" but is the frustration worth the day in and day out feeling that others are being rude? When you look at homes in new neighborhoods, feel free to ask a neighbor how the people in the neighborhood get along. I have had a few people looking at homes near by ask me why the house is for sale and what the neighborhood is like. I live in an awesome neighborhood - everyone gets along well - some borrowing of items goes on (do you have sunburn lotion? A cup of milk? Syrup? A wrench? My kid is sick, would you have some OTC medicine to help with the headache or fever? ect.) when it is bad weather or very late at night or we just don't want to go across town to get one item - kids play well together - it is a quiet neighborhood - people pick up after their dogs - the perfect balance of friendship without getting too personal or interferring in each other's lives - we are neighbors, not best friends if you know what I mean - A great neighborhood really is important to the health of your kids. difficult child is feeling the rudeness just as you are and it is affecting her self image on worthiness and being able to heal. I vote on looking for a happier neighborhood/small town though I know that is a lot harder said than done. I wish you could come to my home town - there is a home for sale three doors down - you would love the neighborhood. [/QUOTE]
