[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you tried reaching out to them? I would feel awkward(as a new person in a neighborhood) to acknowledge a stranger's new baby. [/quote]

No, we are the new people. They watched me get visibly pregnant and then saw me with a baby carrier. You would. Have think they'd have said something, no? Or is this normal?[/quote]

I think it is totally normal. You also strike me like one of those high pitch voice neighbors (forgive me if I am wrong, it just an impression from your messages) who are very active in the neighborhood. Your neighbors probably feel if they make one more step forward, you will suck them up with your friendliness. Some people just introverts. It doesn't mean that they are not friendly, they just keep their boundaries and they don't need your baby inside it. [/quote]

Ha.  And some folks don't want to get too friendly with a new neighbor with small children because they don't want to be put on the spot to help with childcare emergencies and the like.  So they maintain a distance in order to avoid that kind of awkwardness.  They may have had bad experiences in the past, you never know.

Doesn't matter that Op has all her ducks in a row and would never ask them to watch her kids.[/quote]
