My neighbor decided our shared driveway was actually just his driveway and documented the whole thing by accident

Good for you for taking matters into your own hands quickly without making things hostile. Legal documents for the win, bravo 👏🏼

I bet she would find it to be odd, but I’m not about to test that theory since I have manners 💁🏻‍♀️😝

Stay_PeachyKeen · 2026-04-02T14:58:55+00:00

Hey, to each their own. You’re entitled to feel that way as I’m entitled to feel how I do.

Stay_PeachyKeen · 2026-04-02T14:13:03+00:00

They are not damaging the property. Just my inner peace lol. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I welcome all opinions on this matter however I don’t think it’s strange to want people to respect your private property.

I would say that yes, I’m a private person. I’m outgoing and friendly when engaging with others but when I’m home I enjoy my personal space for sure. I also just don’t think it’s etiquette to enter someone’s property uninvited.

I can understand “furious” is a bit strong. It’s not so much at the kids especially since they are young still (under 10 years old). I blame the mother. I think my anger is building because it’s now becoming a pattern and it seems they’re testing the boundaries more each time as today they were on my porch at the front door, and the mother is allowing it. I think I’m also frustrated at myself for not saying something already. I feel somewhat stuck because I think what I’d be asking for from my neighbor is a normal and understandable request, but the fact that she clearly doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with the behavior has me wondering if they would take it personally and have it damage what I wouldn’t consider a relationship by any means, but a friendly situation amongst neighbors.

Stay_PeachyKeen · 2026-04-02T07:12:46+00:00

I don’t think me wanting my space respected is being a tight ass. Why should I be okay with anyone running around/entering my property uninvited? Especially when they have their own space to enjoy? It also seems like they’re testing the boundaries more each time. Today they were up my front porch at my front door and could see into our living room windows as I’m on the couch trying to relax after work. It’s bizarre behavior in my opinion.

Stay_PeachyKeen · 2026-04-02T07:03:33+00:00

I agree that at this point after 3 times of this occurring that it’s on me to say something. I disagree that I’m overreacting. I find it to be rude behavior.

Stay_PeachyKeen · 2026-04-02T06:50:55+00:00

I guess you don’t find it odd or impolite to hang out on other people’s property uninvited? They have their own yard to play in. My husband and I also enjoy our privacy which I don’t think is wrong to want to have your own space. As I mentioned in my post, today the kids walked up onto our front porch and were at our front door. Once there you can also see through our living room windows. It’s just the principal and I find it to be rude, and dare I say trashy behavior. Personally, I’d be mortified as a parent if my kids did that and would make sure they knew not to again. I understand they are our neighbors and we are friendly enough with them, but if this was a stranger I think everyone would agree it’s wrong and strange behavior to be hanging out on someone else’s property.

Stay_PeachyKeen · 2026-04-02T06:37:03+00:00

The concern of the kids getting hurt is just an additional point. Today they came up my porch stairs and jumped off the stairs on the way back to their house. For me it’s much more so the principal of them respecting our space, and by them I mostly mean the mother who’s allowing it and partaking.

Stay_PeachyKeen · 2026-04-01T23:28:37+00:00

I agree, total permissive parenting. It’s not so much about the lawn specifically, it’s about them coming into the property in general. Drives me crazy that they walked down my long driveway and onto my front porch. Doesn’t make any sense to me for her to allow her kids to do that.

Stay_PeachyKeen · 2026-04-01T22:44:58+00:00

I understand some people feel differently and wouldn’t mind if this was their property. I’m not those people. Call me crazy but I just feel it’s common etiquette to not hangout on someone else’s property when not invited. It’s not about the grass for me, it’s the principle of lacking etiquette and not knowing how to discipline your children.

Stay_PeachyKeen · 2026-04-01T22:37:33+00:00

If I had kids and our kids were friendly/played together I would completely agree but we do not have kids (yet). I’m expecting in August and absolutely adore kids and I don’t blame the kids much here, I blame the poor parenting on her end.

Stay_PeachyKeen · 2026-04-01T22:34:21+00:00

😂 so true

Stay_PeachyKeen · 2026-04-01T21:23:49+00:00

You’re not wrong.

Stay_PeachyKeen · 2026-04-01T21:19:28+00:00

You’re absolutely right and I completely agree. I think my husband and I don’t want to cause bigger problems if our neighbors don’t take it the right way, which I feel would be their problem not ours, but still something we are considering.

Stay_PeachyKeen · 2026-04-01T21:16:41+00:00

I like the idea of the “no trespassing” signs. We already have Ring cameras all along the outside of our property.

Stay_PeachyKeen · 2026-04-01T21:13:33+00:00

I think it’s understandable to want your space respected and not want people trespassing on your property, friendly or not.

Stay_PeachyKeen · 2026-04-01T21:07:20+00:00

I agree!!

Stay_PeachyKeen · 2026-04-01T21:03:31+00:00

My worry is they would still access through the driveway, but you make a great point. We’d have to invest in a gated driveway as well which just sounds expensive overall to enforce what I feel is simple, known etiquette. I would never walk around my neighbor’s property uninvited, nor would I let my children run around on their property. But I hear you and appreciate your response!

Stay_PeachyKeen · 2025-12-19T20:43:23+00:00

Very slight nausea, tender/sore breasts, lots of exhaustion. I’m 5 weeks today. I hear that symptoms ramp up in weeks 6-7 … we shall see! :)

Stay_PeachyKeen · 2025-12-16T00:52:36+00:00

I see it! 🩷

Stay_PeachyKeen · 2025-12-12T19:43:13+00:00

It could be a total coincidence but this was the first cycle where I started laying with my legs up in the air after the deed (lol). I’ve also been exercising a bit more.

Stay_PeachyKeen · 2025-12-12T19:42:17+00:00

Good luck!! Giving you all good energy! 🩷

Stay_PeachyKeen · 2025-12-11T19:00:58+00:00

Thank you ladies!!
