my neighbor is a headcase?
Question by Sophia: my neighbor is a headcase?
hi all…hope all is well..,.thank you in advance for your replies. I have lived in my home for over 10 years. 5 years ago, a new family moved in, with children in elementary school (they are GREAT kids, by the way:)…I have one child with autism. So, one of her children, who is 2 years older than mine, took an interest in my son. She’s a great girl. She used to come around often to try and play with him. He does respond to her. Now, as she’s older, and has more homework, the visits are less frequent, but I understand. Anyway, her mom is such a drama queen. She always makes snide remarks about my son (who is mostly non verbal, low functioning autistic-but such a love<3)..she says things like,"how could anyone marry someone with an autistic child?" or, "even though your son is autistic, you have to dress him in Gap?", or when I was helping my teenage son look for a car, I told her in a joking way that I better start saving for my youngest child's car....she said to me "he'll be lucky if he rides a schwin"... I have my son signed up for different therapies to try and maximize his potential..so I signed him up for music therapy...the therapist had to do an assessment to see where he fit in...My neighbor's daughter came with me...once we were there, she asked if she could come every week...It's fine with me...then the organizers said she could be a volunteer, and gave her some paperwork....at this point, we still didn't know the time...Her mom was all for it, because she could have used those hours for her confirmation hours....so a few days later, they called and said that my son will be in the 9 am class, which is "clinically appropriate" ....I called my neighbor and told her...she yelled, "THATS Bull****".....!! She called me that night and asked if I could "change" it, so her daughter could come....I said that was the class they saw was appropriate for his challenges....She was still welcome to come, but her mom didn't want her up that early...after all, the therapy is for my son, not her daughter...I'm doing her a favor by toting her kid around....free babysitting, but my son likes her company....so I told her "sorry, but I could take her to his horse back riding therapy instead at 11"...she texted me back...."she will NOT be doing any saturday activities"....and I haven't heard from her since....then she wrote something on her fb stating that she wished she lived somewhere where there were no neighbors....I have always been nice to her and her child....I never say anything when she puts my son down....because her daughter comes around, and I don't want to hurt her, but I'm at the point that I want to bring up all of those nasty things she said about my son to her face, and tell her off....I just wish I was quick enough to come at her with a comeback whe she first says/does these things....can anyone help give me advice on how to grow some balls? lol....thank you
