The Nerve Of Some People.....

This morning at 7:00 am DH & I were awakened by the phone.I answered it just to hear my neighbor yelling about her daughter. Half asleep I told her I didn't understand what she was saying .

She went on to say that since she was home schooling her daughter & her 2 nephews she & her husband were behind in their work & needed to catch up. Therefore, She will be dropping her daughter off at my house at 9:00am!!

Whoa 😳.I told her that wasn't going to happen. I am not exposing myself, my 70 year old DH or my son to any possibility of the virus,period.She told me I was selfish. I said well then why don't you ask your parents or in laws to watch her? Her response "Well they're in their 60's & have to be careful right now". Bingo!! I said to her "now who's being selfish?".She hung up on me.

At 9:00 am another neighbor called to tell me that she & another neighbor got phone calls from her.They both turned her down too.

I can't believe this woman's stupidity. I've had dealings with her before. She is selfish & inconsiderate.

that is awful. It sounds like she has a mental problem also.

I hope she doesn't yell at the children she is taking care of like that.

I feel sorry for the kids in her care. Maybe you should block her number.

WOW!!! How bizarre....your neighbor either has mental issues or just doesnt know how to handle home schooling.....If she calls you again tell her to call the school to get help and guidance....

Good grief...she sounds like a real piece of work. Feel sorry for her child. If her daughter is school age, she's old enough to be in her room alone for a couple hours reading, playing with toys, watching a movie....so parents can get work done. Parents can take turns watching/ playing with her while the other does work. They sound like narcissistic jerks who just want some "alone time."

@NicksmomESQ Wow! Sounds like your neighbor is a nightmare. She doesn't want to risk infecting her parents/in-laws' health but has no problem risking yours. Another Wow!

On another note - how is your sister?

What a you know what! Some people just seem to think the whole world owes them. You are not selfish, you have good sense.

I'm glad you stood your ground. Its not worth exposing your family just because they are behind in their work.

@San Antonio Gal Funny.My son just told me to block her number too.He called her a whackadoodle.

You did the right thing. Sad situation to be put in.
That being said, I am concerned for daughter and nephews. Lots going on and we don’t know. Why does she have nephews? Could be Job has expectations and she can’t deal with three different „classes“ to hold. It’s understandable but feel for people under her roof.

maybe you could let her leave a voicemail next time and if you wanted to let the school or county know and maybe someone would do a home visit or phone call.
