It sounds like the neighbors said “The old neighbors let us do it” and felt entitled to keep coming over, so stepdad just went along with it to be easy. A catharsis for the frustrated moral philosopher in all of us, and a place to finally find out if you were wrong in an argument that's been bothering you. Then I caught their kids antagonizing my dogs at the fence. You would be legally liable if anything happened to her family while they were using your pool. The fence is on OPs property, the neighbor had no right to put their plants up or paint on it to begin with. * <- entitled people. The appropriate answer to "why" is "why do you need to know". They're a young nuclear family, two parents in their 30's with a little baby. Then, offer times (whether that's certain days or daily timeframes) that work for you. One day I heard my back gate slam shut. She is ungrateful and entitled, your other neighbors needed to know this in case one of them decides to help her too. And their use doesn’t really have the capacity to damage 7 acres of empty Explain to the neighbor with the MRSA that it is highly contagious and your family doctor has advised against sharing your pool. And our alley is a hot topic lately with two pools and all the trucks blocking alleys and streets. She was clearly very unhappy about it but she didn't make a scene, just went over to where the parents were, grabbed their towels, dried herself The neighbor again said that Mr. true. We are homeowners and have had some trouble with our next door neighbors. During the summer my dad and another family took care of the pool and we were given free access to it any time we wanted it. We've recently had some issues with people using the pool after hours. My plane seat neighbor said I made her uncomfortable and accused me of violating her personal space because I had to squeeze by her every time I went to the bathroom (she refused to get up). I politely asked my neighbors to check with us before letting their kids play in our yard, but they seemed offended and said I was being unreasonable. I told her to move the car and she immediatly started arguing that the neighbor said it was fine, I told her he moved out, I moved in and no it is not fine and to move it because the movers need to unload my stuff. AITA telling people in our neighborhood about my neighbor spying on my wife? My wife (28F) and I(30M) bought my grandparents house a year ago. What I do see a problem is they fill the pool and drain it EVERY SINGLE DAY. But how did a 5 year old get into a community pool by their self? Every pool I’ve ever been to has a fence and a check-in system. Your neighbor does not understand boundaries so you have to be clear that she can't resume her previous behavior. I had no issue with this whatsoever and continued to use the pool. The houses that my neighbors once had have been torn down and replaced with “designer” style homes. It's quite a big home in a good neighborhood with pool (we wanted a house with pool tbh), I'm an architect and my wife is an interior designer, so before we moved in, we did some works around the house. and we don't really like the noise of kids, so we just keep our distance. Old British TV show Keeping Up Appearances just flashed into my mind. The neighbor gets to enjoy his gazebo, though it becomes dad's when the neighbors move because my dad protected his property rights. The first few nights I was awaken and got up to unlock the door. One of my neighbors was extremely upset with the pool company, saying they frequently blocked their driveway, did a poor job of cleaning up the street, dirtied up the solar panels, sprayed rocks on their car, etc.
