Crazy Neighbors

Haha, so I'm totally watching the drama unfold below me right now as my neighbors duke it out. We live right above them. The wife is screaming at her poor H from the car window as he struggles with a baby carrier and stroller, her in the driver's seat --their toddler and baby in the back. He was apparently moving too slow, and she zoomed off screaming! Whoa lady. Her H just stood there dumbfounded for a minute, looked around, then went back inside.
She just came back, threw the car in park, and charged inside. I heard her screaming at him, saying, "Get in the f*ing car RIGHT now or I'm going to f*ing divorce you! You're too damn slow! I can't stand your sh!t" Then she raced back out to the car. Poor H followed a few minutes later and I saw him get into the car as she was yelling something about him ruining everyone's day.
Sigh. Being recently separated, I just don't understand how people talk to each other that way! I have gotten into some pretty heated arguments with my H over some pretty big things, but never have we ever talked like that to each other, and certainly not for an entire community to hear, especially over something like moving too slowly! Yikes.
Hoping that this neighbor doesn't stir up too much trouble while M and I are living here!

Re: Crazy Neighbors
I have never spoken to anyone like that- if I had done that my DH would divorce me- it is just lack of respect and see what she is teaching her child.
In my old neighborhood we had a girl who would walk around on her cell phone yelling and cussing out her baby daddy. This was at all hours of the night- it didn't matter 3 in the afternoon or 3 in the morning. It got old fast. He would then show up and they would have a screaming fest and the cops would be called. Talk about ridiculous! I am so glad for my new neighbors- they have their own entertainments- like running over their mailbox with their sports cars, or the little dog peeing on the girlfriend while she lays in the sun ( I had to go in the house I was laughing to much).
Wow...
I can't imagine talking to anyone like that. Especially in front of the kids!!
Well...I will be completely honest, my H and I have probably said things like that to each other. We're big cursers, unfortunately. But we really make an effort to NOT do it in public and NOT do it in front of A!
She probably just cracked!
For some reason the weirdest part to me, is that the wife was driving. Maybe it's just because I hate driving, but even if we are taking my car, SO always drives. And why couldn't she help him carry the stuff to the car? He probably could have moved a little faster if he wasn't carrying the baby and a stroller.
I can't judge the yelling though. You never know the real situation. I yell more than I should about stupid stuff usually because I'm really hungry or because a bunch of stuff has built up throughout the day. I don't yell outside though. I don't want the neighbors to think I'm a crazy.
Haha, me too! I never drive, because I have a driving commute during the school year (45 mins) while my H gets to sleep on the train. So I always tell him that he has to drive all other times.
And yeah, I can't judge the yelling either. Last week before we had to go a wedding I came home from errands to find my husband building A's play kitchen. We had to leave in ten minutes. He wasn't showered or dressed. I got in a few choice words as well! But we dont' really hold grudges, so we were fine by the time we got to the church.
Ha, no, I know. I understand that most couples yell and lose their tempers, etc. I just couldn't believe she was doing it with so many people around (SCREAMING out the car window while he was a good 50+ feet away at the door, honking the horn, and peeling out leaving him behind). And, it was obvious to me that the reason he was moving so slowly was because he was dragging a stroller and baby carrier. I still feel bad for the guy... lol.
They sound nuts. Eek!
I drive everywhere too. I get insane motion sickness in the car and have little panic attacks, so it's just easier if I drive. If we take my car (which we usually do because we can't put LO in the DH's airbagged truck - trying to sell it), it's already set to my preferences anyhow. Sometimes DH drives, but usually it's me.
Urgh. My next-door neighbor used to yell at his girlfriend, his daughter, and at his ex-wife when she came to pick up/drop off their daughter on weekends.
I respect that there's some yelling between family members sometimes, but the fact that this guy was abusive to all the women in his life was really a downer and made me wonder whether the daughter would end up with a guy who treated her like he did the other women in his life. I'm big on privacy, but our houses were so close together that it was impossible not to overhear, especially on hot summer nights in our unairconditioned place with the windows open.
I know it was probably a sad situation b/c it was in front of their kids, but I was laughing a little reading it b/c MH is SOOOOOOOOOO slow. DS & I will be waiting in the car for him & I always tell DS something like, "sorry we can't go yet, we're waiting for daddy, as usual...better get used to it!" or I'll just say, "come on Daddy, hurry up!" and beep the horn.
MH will always tell me to go on out to the car & he'll be right out, but then takes forever. Or, he'll get into the car & remember he forgot something & then take forever to come back out. Or he just has to run into a store "real quick" but then like 10 people go in after him & come out before him...meanwhile we are stillllll waiting for daddy. haha
oh & I drive a lot, too!
