Neighbors...

For the last few years my aunt and uncle have lived in a quiet little gated community on a kid friendly little street in a cute little town that actually is named Niceville. I have visited and stayed and even worked for them the entire time they have lived here, and have watched the neighbors come and go. They have had many different people, all friendly in their own way, and all a little strainge in their own right. There was for a while a retired navy captian and his wife. (they lived in the first house on the corner and he had a porthole window upstairs on the street side) Nextdoor to our house (our's being the house that my aunt lives in with her family, and about 25 weeks a year ..i live here too... all the gate guards know my name) there was a lesbian life partnership, then some other recluse couple that i never ever see ...ever. Come to think of it i dont ever see cars come or go. Across the street diagonally there is a sweet young couple with two little kids. They are great, and besides my family they have managed to stay the longest that i know of. Directly across the street (i know this is long but there is a point) is a house that was built by a rich couple with one kid they spoile rotten- they moved and then a wonderful nutty family with like 8 or 9 kids (4 grown) moved in They were wonderful but had to move away as well with many tears shed by them and my cousins. The house across the street is now being rinted by 4 airforce lutinits (i dont know how to spell it) they are all single and cute. My aunt and uncle hate it. (but i cant see the problem with it...haha)
But the point and purpose of all this introduction is to complain about the worst neighbors that i have ever encountered or heard about. These people next door (on the other side) could best be defined as mooching, leach-like, sweet to your face, but distainful behind a thin little sheet of a fake smile, rude, obnoxious, mooching, moochie faces! Yes it is child like of me to rant in such a way- but honestly when they invite themselves to every barbeque- and fish for invitations for their kids to have dinner every time they want to go out- after we have kept their bratty little boy every day this week and fed him 15 times for free- i am intiteled to gripe a bit. My aunt has many stories, and when a new one happens i will write about it cause they are good! For instance.... The mom of this family happened to walk into the house one evening when my family and my aunts family were having a "family" birthday party for a sibling of mine and a cousin. The mom sees cake (and sence her boy had uninvitedly been playing all day) she fixes him a piece of cake, fixes herself a piece of cake and then sees that there are about four pieces of cake left and then tells us to wait for a moment while she getts her daughter. My mom and aunt exchainge looks but she is already out the door (leaving her son to his second helping of icecream as he trys to opean one of my cousins presents) The next thing we know she returns with her daughter, daughter's friend, husband and get this...dog! they all enjoy the last of our cake (compleetly uninvited and not really encouraged in any way to stay) They (all of their family) at the house and join in on the party until long after my parents and siblings went home. I stayed the night that night and they didnt leave until 11:30. Is this normal for annoying neighbors? I think what i love the best about all of it is that they get mad when the slightest thing happens- like my cousins leaving sidewalk chalk in their driveway. Classic isnt it?

I know the wonderful family of which you speak...
I have lived in a lot of places but I have never had neighbors as rude and obnoxious as that group. Their daughter, as far as I have seen, appears to be from a different planet than her family. She seems very polite and well-mannered and completely mortified by the behavior of her parents, although she would never say so. Their son is a monster. He won't mind, he talks back, and seems to get away with it. After his first trip to the house the week I visited, I told him to go home that I wouldn't allow him to come over until he could mind. I know that probably won't work for you, I was only keeping the kids for a week. Glad to see you're back! We missed you!!! How's the house? Hope the repairs are going well.
