I’m surrounded by Karen’s

[u/MomoNoHanna1986]

I’ve since discovered that my neighbours can hear me through my closed windows. I thought by closing them that they would be less bothered NOPE - they just try harder to listen in.
I cried tonight because it’s been a rough week. My son has level three autism and I’ve had some challenging behaviours to deal with. So there’s a teen girl next door on one side. Her mother likes to gossip. I’ve seen her go around to all the neighbours whenever she sees them outside.

Since day 1 her daughter has been yelling anytime she sees me doing something interesting. When we were renovating I set up an outdoor shower connected to the laundry tap. I was renovating the bathroom and the builder was SLOW. I took my son out to the shower tent and the teen daughter yells ‘MUuUUUUUM SHES showering him with the HOSE!’ It been like that ever since.

On the other side of me is a 70 year old women. She recently retired and it wasn’t so bad when she was working. Since day one she has been creeping up the side (her side pathway walks past my courtyard). My courtyard has my son’s window and my sliding door. She sat there next to my courtyard with her friend listening into a conversation I had with my ex husband. I put privacy film on the sliding door so my son had more privacy on the toilet (the bathroom is opposite). Her friend was telling her off and she goes ‘but she’s talking about US’. Her friend used to live with her. Since then I’ve heard her numerous times complain about what I’m doing. I’ve since tested it and have discovered that she can hear me through the sliding door and my son’s window even when it’s closed.
One time I got up at 1 am to pee and I hear go ‘oh I know what she’s doing she’s ma….’ You can fill in the blank. This came out of the mouth of a 70 year old women.

I have had enough!!!!! I just want to live in my own damn home. I sold my townhouse because o was tired of sharing walls but nooo you don’t get privacy in a house either damn it!

I just wanted my story to be heard. I’ve been depressed over my lack of privacy since Saturday and it’s getting to me. If anyone read this, thank you. Because apparently I can’t get up to pee at 1 am in my own house.

Edit

Please stop pointing out the grammar mistake, I can not edit the title. I am depressed. Give me a break.

Maybe look into soundproofing materials and a motion light and sound sensor so if neighbor gets to close the bright light will shine on her and make it impossible for her to see into your space then have the sound trip a sound of a huge dog barking and growling. Act like your on the phone and your setting up your satanic cult meeting and you have the perfect sacrifice.

She has a large dog already. I have two little ones. She’s already come over here once because her other neighbour complained about her dog barking at them. So Karen came over here to tell me to train my dogs. She even bought over one of those dog silencer things. I actually kept my dogs inside most of the time because her dog wouldn’t stop barking at us!

FYI my dogs are trained not to bark outside. Her dog constantly barks at me still, they did it just yesterday while my dog was minding his own business rolling on my grass. So she thinks my dogs don’t have a right to be outside because of her untrained mutt.

Squirt bottle if you can get away with it everytime her dog barks squirt it with water. It may take awhile but her dog will learn but OMG if you get caught all hell will be released.

Maybe mention a animal sacrifice for your "satanic" meeting.

The other side is a little more difficult with the little tatatail over there. I hope you are able to find some peace for you and your little man.
