Sneaky Neighbor
We have bought our first house just a couple of months back. We were very excited. We could afford in a very posh society in a very posh area. We never thought what we are going to face after a while. Oh God! What neighbor we got. Our dry balconies are facing each other. What my neighbor does is she is always peeping through her window and she hides behind her wall. I had a creepy feeling that someone is watching me then I realized who that creepy crawly fellow is.
And there is more to it. The hubby comes back in the evening then they switch off all the lights and they watch us and all the other appartments on the other side of their apartment. Wow where are they. It’s a big city and people have no time. Now listen to this. They are copy cats.
We have a little daughter who is a princess for us. Whatever we buy for her this lady peeps through her door to see that and comes to our house to check. Next day it comes for their child whether she likes it or not. Latest what they have started is very funny. My sister came to visit me and when she saw that she rolled over laughing. Well here it is. Whole week mama and papa teach their daughter one poem with actions. Saturdays are grand finale days. They come out in the corridor and start singing and dancing. The child just stands quietly confused and parents are proudly inacting.They don’t understand they are confusing the child and they can’t see that as they are so busy showing off. On a serious note all the children are different and we parents should never compare them. They are all very precious and they all have lots of talent. We should try to understand that and be happy that we have a beautiful child and stop comparing her with others or put pressure on her to cope up with rubbish competition. This is my humble request to all parents.

I do agree with you about the kids - parents relationship. I am working with challenged behaviour children and demaged families in my spare time. And I used to work with normal kids as well. I've never had a problem with any kids except when their parents were around. And usually the kids act strange when they are confused. And blackmail you when they are get used to it. Working with children shows more about the parents but the children. Shame how many talented kids got wasted because their parents doesn't care. I would say a lot of people have no idea what does it mean being a parent. That's why they say their kids are challenged behavioured and they pay a lot of money for social carers and/or nannies.
Of course there are really good people out there who are good parents. But sometimes I get sad because of the others. I wish I could do more for the poor kids who don't have the opportunity having a supporting, caring, understanding parent.
If you do care for your children, maybe these books can help you out some way.
