They really never cease to amaze me.
So, yesterday I got home and I was talking to my boyfriend as I checked the mail. I walked pass the house and I could hear them...."look there she is, she's on the phone call her!" haha so i was on the phone and they called and left a message... Doesn't make sense if they saw I Was on the phone.

Anywho, I stopped by there place and we had a little chat. I talked to them about the water and said if they would like to water the hedge that would be great because I simply can't hook up my water lines until the leak is fixed. He kept try to find different ways that I could do it, and I said my first priorty is my house and fixing the leak and as soon as it is fixed I am going to hook everything up. So finally he got the point. Then they brought up the trash cans and blamed it on a neighbor complaining... I said I'm sorry they complained to you and if they bother you send them to my house and I'll tell them the same.
He came over to my house and we discussed a few things and I let them know I have a very stressful job and in order to keep my sanity I only do things on my day off. So they understand when I work I am unavailable.
As far as the cats I told them it isnt going to work. And they complained for 20 min about how they didn't know what to do. I suggest a rescue and maybe finding her a home would be best. (she said she can't bring her cause she's allergic) I askd her what happened to the others and she sad the disappearEd but I've seen two of them. (maybe the other neighbor took them ... Hmmm)

Sounds like you stood your ground very well, and you gave a great response on the trash cans. Keep being politely assertive and don't get too involved. Enlist your bf for back up if necessary. I hope things continue to go in a more positive direction.

I deal with conflict all day at work, that's easy comPared to dealing with someone you have to live with

I don't mind confronting the issues but I wanted to mKe sure they understood but didnt get mad. I have seen what living with a horrible neighbor can do.
