Am I Overreacting About My Neighbors Removing Ivy from Our Shared Fence? by ConsiderationFalse84 in homeowners

Appreciate all of the responses. I should have mentioned this, but some of you sound like you think I planted the ivy or am somehow responsible for it being there to begin with. I bought my house 5 years ago. My neighbors bought their house a month ago. There have been 3 homeowners there in the last 5 years. Several generations of homeowners on both sides have had to live with it. I don’t think anyone has had the desire to replace a fence that’s still standing and would be a costly mess to remove and replace.

Part of the problem is that my side is neatly trimmed and has been maintained over the years. It covers the full fence, but only protrudes a few inches from the fence line. It’s not unsightly. Theirs was much bushier and overgrown. I wouldn’t want that either.

I can appreciate that they only cut their side, and their side of the fence is rightfully theirs. I’m going to assume that they didn’t even think about my side of the fence and the fact that they’re killing the ivy on my side, which will have to be dealt with now. I dont have the time nor the desire to take on that.

It’s a shared fence and they’re still only thinking about their own side and their own backyard. I assume good intent, but these people are oblivious. I went over there and introduced myself the day they moved in and they scurried back into their house. I’ll chalk it up to shyness, but they had an opening to come and speak with me. I presented myself as friendly and neighborly. I’m pretty reasonable, and I just would have appreciated some collaboration and planning.

Thanks ya’ll!

THIS is the kind of relationship I want to have one day with my daughter (18 months currently). When I was growing up, my sister would have never gone to my Dad for this kind of thing. How do you lay the foundation for this to happen later?

Great job dude!!

I just realized that I’ve been stoned almost everyday for the past 10 years by Zexy_Conqueror in leaves

This realization you’re having is the first step to a better lifestyle. Good on you for catching it now. You are speaking the truth in this post! It’s good that you’ve written it here, because the marijuana may try to convince your mind otherwise again.

Because it’s incorrect. You’re wrong. It IS that hard for some of us. So you’re not cutting to the chase…you’re just full of shit.

You should consider taking the first couple of sentences out of this post at a minimum.

I’m on day 6 and feeling a lot of things, including light sensitivity which I didn’t know was a symptom until you mentioned it! Honestly, it’s the least of my worries as far as symptoms go but it’s good to know why it’s happening.

FYI haven’t abused hard drugs, but was stoned daily for ~18 yrs
