How do I deal with this?

We are on a new build estate been here a year and we are at the end of our strip of houses we say hello to be polite but that’s it there has been a lot of trouble down one end of the street neighbours arguing we have never got involved.
About 8 weeks ago a women and her daughter came over to me and my children at the park its a friendly village we talk to everyone we realised our youngest will be in the same year and swapped number for play dates. Then I realised she was one of the trouble neighbours I was a bit weary. After one play date which was okay she seemed rather full on she would call me every single day 2 or 3 x a day complaining about her neighbours I said I’m not getting involved politely. But didn’t stop the constant messaging and if she was walking past house she would knock and then she found out I was pregnant after she heard me on a private phone call in my back garden. She mocked me and my husband because he had a vasectomy that failed proved by hospital she makes inappropriate jokes constantly about him and then her daughter went into hospital after a collision at a park she knew my husbands sister worked on children’s ward she told his sister we are best friends and we cook together and have sleep overs I had only met her twice at that point!
She also gets her daughter to call my husband dad even after we have said please stop. Then one night about 10/11pm she was calling outside our window with her 3 children slightly drunk talking about how she she was being chatted up by a man at the local village even threw rubbish in our window told us she wanted to sleep with one man. We told her to go to bed. Then next day she collapsed at our local shops called us to get her children! Then a few days later we had been swimming I was asleep on sofa legs on my husband 2 of our other children asleep on other scares my husband opens the window tells he has to go move her paddling pool as it’s too big she can’t. My husband said no he’s not he is with his family. I try not answer he calls or messages. Then my family come to stay for a week I saw her and said I will be very busy around day she knew they was going home she called constantly I said no I’m with my family please respect that then I got a reply oh I thought the pregnancy had gone bad as you wasn’t replying. She has made so many inappropriate comments I can’t handle it ignoring her doesn’t work even saying that enough doesn’t work what would you do?

Can you block her number and just try to ignore her? If she becomes inappropriate call the police x

I live in one of the safest quietest villages in England and it’s beautiful no police nothing here we love it here she was the one calling police on her neighbour being too loud the only problem is her. I feel suffocated by her she’s honestly crazy. Everyone in village is a bit weary of her my friend thought she was crazy when she saw her at baby group I don’t know how to keep her away from me and my family 😩 I do not want to leave!

I honestly agree with you, I think that is what happened to her next door neighbour she didn’t want to talk to her anymore now constantly complains about them and calls the police on them for literally nothing. I think I’m going to invest in some cameras.

Is this normal?

Is it just my husband that does this? He is able to work from home via his computer and in the mornings and evenings he is on there doing his job. When he is done for the day he tends to stay in the room and either play video games or watch something. He will occasionally come out and play with the girls for a few minutes and that’s it but when I really need him he says he is busy. My daughters are both 1 year old now and I am just wondering how much involvement should he have with them now?
Idk if this is the norm or not…..

Tablet for kids

Alright don’t need any negative Nancy’s telling me not to get my 2yo a tablet so if that’s what your gunna do please don’t participate in my poll.

We’re about to move cross country 3+ day trip and my 2yo and 9m hate the car I’m talking scream their heads off till they are out of their seats. We’ve already changed car seats and it didn’t help so I’d like to at least have one entertained and sit next to baby and try and distract her or put her to sleep. Our new car has tvs but since they are rear faced my 2yo can’t see it.

Debating getting her a tablet or dvd player right now on long car rides I end up giving her my phone because I get so overwhelmed sitting in between both of them screaming and crying.

And yes I do bring different toys I bring snacks I play songs try to distract her other ways but for the sake of not losing my mind on this move I think this is best.

-A very overwhelmed and anxious to move mama 😓

Daycare?

Thoughts on daycare?? Truly, I am SCARED to be leaving my kid for daycare. I literally do not trust anyone, not even family (they haven’t given me a reason it’s just trust issues on my end, you never know). He’s turning 3 and I’ve been a sahm the whole time but tbh my man doesn’t make enough for us to move out somewhere more calm . We live in a ‘not so safe’ area in LA and I’m just not used to living here so I just want us to give my son a better life and in order to speed up the process I would have to work.. I do lashes at home and I’d be open to take new clients so I wouldn’t have to look for work but I’m just scared to lose my license 😭
