It’s no secret that I don’t care much for the neighbors. Gradually over the past few months however, I’ve been able to sort out the troublemakers from the pretty nice neighbors with bad circumstances.
Case in point, the past week.
Kristen has invited the neighbor kids and moms to countless church events. She’s even had some really nice and pleasant conversations with them in the recent past. Last week, almost all of the neighbor kids and moms made it to the churches harvest party and we ever received a very nice thank you note.
Two steps forward, one step back. Tonight the drunkenness returned and escalated to the point of us calling the Romeo PD. I hate to do that, but they were out of control, screaming at each other, and someone hit someone else. As soon as the cops showed up everyone scattered and it calmed down. But the point is that we shouldn’t have to call the police on them in the first place. I wish that they could learn to make better decisions!
Let’s hope that the next week will be one of more positive progress. They have always responded well to us when we’ve re-drawn the line. More on this in the future.
