[quote=Anonymous]There is a woman who did the same thing to me and she is my next door neighbor.  Ugh.  The thing that really helped, not that I wish this on anyone, was her kid hurt our kid in front of my DH.  Now DH "gets it."  It was the same thing as the mother -- convincing a group to gang up on one individual in a relentless and very hurtful way.  In that case, the kids were physically hurting our child.

Over time, we have done a number of exterior repairs on our house.  When the house is looking torn up, this lady smiles and waves enthusiastically.  When the upgrades are looking really nice, she scowls and turns away or blocks eye contact with her hand.  It is the opposite of the other neighbors who like to live in a nice neighborhood where property values are increasing with the upgrades and repairs.  I get to tell DH "I saw Larla today and the house must be looking good because she scowled at me."  We have started to laugh at her for being so competitive.
  
If I am out somewhere and notice Larla, I noticed sunglasses (even indoors), help break eye contact without trying too hard.  I have always thought sunglasses indoors is so rude but now I do it too![/quote]
