Neighbors can be so irritating

The new job is great and everything is going well here. However, there has been one source of constant irritation (other people). The bad part about where I work is that YOU ALSO LIVE NEAR the people you work. Our youngest, Katie is slightly ADHD and a very exciteable child. This is never mean, but she can be impulsive. One of our neighbor has been literally 'talking stink' about our youngest daughter.

:grr:

Unfortunately, she is also someone in my department. If someone so much as breathes a word about my child I am going to go off... Of course I could point out a few things about their own darlings...




Innocent???? Or girls gone wild????

I personally cannot stand living in a place that has noisy kids nearby... But I don't have kids, partly for that reason. Just cannot put up with it... I must confess I always resent when people bring noisy kids with them in public places. I mean, it's THEIR genes, THEY get their tax break, I get nothing. SO, why should I put up with their kids... ???

So does everyone in the neighborhood.

what happens at home, stays at home, and children are absolutely off-limits for discussion at work--even if it's good. I'm a parent, and no one else in my office has kids, so my son is kind of the communal child and everyone (all women, middle aged) adore him and love to hear me talk about him.

If she yacks anyway, it wuill make her look bad.

As hard as it may be, resist the urge to talk about her kids--you're a DUer, so I KNOW you're better than that!
