[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Your title is misleading.
[/b]
These neighbors have done nothing wrong: they offered to help, they meant it, they tried to help.

They are now setting boundaries, because she is manipulative, clingy, and cries wolf.

If you're going to write thread titles that are PSAs, here's my PSA to you: make sure your snotty little thread title reflects actual bad behavior by neighbors, not your mom.[/quote]

I'm not OP and that's not the way I read this, but I also had a mom like this.

It's a PSA to the neighbors that the "sweet little" old lady is using them to tell her kids she has tons of neighbors who will help keep her in her house, even though it's dangerous for her.

We know the neighbors are just being neighborly and nice, and have no idea they are pawns being used in the mom's game to stay at her house no matter whether it is safe or not. If you haven't had a mom who will stop at nothing to get her way, including abusing neighbors help to the point they are contacting you, you are lucky. Been there, have that tshirt.

I do think the title is misleading. It does come across as throwing shade at neighbors.  [/quote]
