Ranting

I am just going to go ahead and warn you, this is going to be a rant.

I have terrible neighbors. Well, I say terrible, sometimes they aren't so bad. But most of the time they drive me insane. I'll start with the kid. (I'll preface this by saying I am currently watching SuperNanny and he is nothing like this crazy kid on here). Anyway, about 97% I see him he's outside by himself, I always notice that their door is open but they aren't watching him. Typically he is on his little powerwheels, in our yard or sometimes in the street. It just really gets under my skin when he is in our yard. His parent's aren't watching him and they don't care that he is on someone else's property and if they do see him in the street they yell "get out of the street!" We did, for several weeks, have an issue of them parking in front of our house. I know these things sound petty but they are super annoying. They had one person who constantly parked in front of our house (when there wasn't anyone parked in front of their house) and he would walked through our yard to get to theirs. Really? Where is your respect for others and their property? Last night I was awake from about 1:30-3:30 due to their loud music they have bumping in their shed which is only about 20 feet from our bedroom window. Some days I have more patience than others.

Part of me feels sorry for them, I have no idea what really goes on behind their walls. One day Joseph and I had come home and when we got out of the car we heard terrible screaming from a girl, she was saying "let me out of this house! let go of me!" and she ran out with their son half dressed and threw him in the truck and sped off. She came back later but that's when I realized that I can't judge them. I have no idea what they are going through and I shouldn't hold small stuff against them. But it is hard to see that little boy not being watched, for them not to take 10 mins and walk beside him as he rides is powerwheel. So I get stuck between my short fused anger and feeling bad for them. Although my anger usually outweighs the other I still wish there was something that I could do.

I'm sorry this was filled with negativity. I just have gotten so frustrated and I don't know what to *do* not that there i really anything that I can. I needed a little bit of therapy and this was my cheapest route :)
