(Sorry for the long post)

OK, am I missing something here! My neighbors (who profess to be great Christians are driving us crazy. It really started when they were building their house about 4-5 years ago.

During construction of their home, they would constantly break things in our yard. They would run over the sprinkler system. Trash would all come to our yard. When we tried to talk with them about it, they said " you don't understand, we are building the biggest house in the neighborhood and we need that space (on our property) to build the house. No apology for the damage to our property.

So, my DH went out and bought some of that orange construction fence and put it up between our houses and fixed the damage to the sprinkler system and yard.

Time goes by, they damage things a few more times while building, never offering to repair or apologize for any thing.

Now they move in. I walk out to the side of our house and catch the husband peeing on the fence (how disgusting) why couldn't he take the 5 steps and go to the house.

I don't think I have mentioned that they have 2 teenage boys yet. I don't think they have been taught the difference between right and wrong. They always came out and played golf on the front lawn, sending the balls into everyone’s yard.

They grow up and move out. One goes on to be youth minister at his church. He has just moved back in with his parents and has resorted to his old ways.

My Dh was mowing the lawn and pulling weeds out of the front yard when the kid started to play golf on everyone's yard sending the golf ball flying at everyone’s house.

My DH is not one to sit back and put up with BS, so when he sees the kid do this, he tells him to stop. He starts screaming that my DH is a bad man and hits dog, attacks girls, everyone in the neighborhood hates us because he's a thug, bla bla bla. My DH says don't forget, I push old people too. Now go run home to your Mommy and Daddy.

The kid doesn't stop and continues to yell and scream bad things about my DH all the way don't the block, paying golf. I don't think I mentioned that there was a house being worked on and all of the construction workers were watching the whole thing. The kid even sent a ball flying into the area where they were working.

When I DH finally challenged him and said the only bad people around here is your family, (exposing themselves, destroying other people’s property etc. He went home.

Now I ask this. How do you feel about this kid being the youth leader at a AOG church where he will lead/guide young people? What kind of example could he possibly set for them?

He is the one who is nothing but a bully!!!

(They have their house up for sale; I pray that it gets sold soon!)
