New neighbors moving in, I smiled and waved, she rolled her eyes and turned her head, I am trying to change my ways to better myself but now I am very angry, how do I handle this?
My first thought was to shout out some choice words and tell her what I thought, but I am an addict in recovery, clean now a little over 2yrs, I have mostly changed my old ways, but now I am working on my thought process and doing what is right. I also have a 4yr old and a 3yr old who have both paid greatly for my mistakes and I do my bast these days to raise them right and set a good example for them...but I know these new neighbors will be living downstairs and I will have to deal with this in some way. The guy whom I am assuming is her husband/boyfriend seems okay though. My 4yr old was looking out the window watching them move in their things and my son said that that girl gave him a crappy look and that the guy waved and smiled at him. What kind of person sees a child looking out the window at them and gives them a crappy look? I am just bothered by this. Enough to get on this website to ask how to deal with it! Anyways, how do I deal with this and what do I do? Should I let the crappy half of our new neighbors know that I didn't appreciate the look I got or what? HELP!

I have been living in this house for almost 20 yrs..if my neighbors are rude..I just ignore them..be sure that when they need a favor from you they will be calling on you..be a big person and be gracious.. Answered by bootsAge : 69 1 month ago Report Abuse Edit Delete

Congratulations on what you have achieved in the pass two years. It is very difficult not to react when someone appears to be unfriendly to you or your children. The key issue here is that when we react to someone else's actions then in essence we have given them power over us. You need to maintain control and never allow others to dictate your behavior. A negative brings on a negative and a positive will attract a positive response.You take control of this situation by smiling at your new neighbors and begin to set the tone of the relationship. A smile is a very disarming tool that you can us to your benefit and can in most cases turn a negative to a positive. When these situations arise you need to have an inner conversation with yourself by saying I will not allow their bahavior dictate how I will react because I am in control of whom I am. Stay positive and in control. Answered by Dr TAge : 56 1 month ago Report Abuse Edit Delete
