[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was growing up this area was not as transient as it is now. We had almost all the same neighbors for my entire childhood. There was a lot of bitchiness and people having conflicts but guess what, they just continued socializing with each other. It was a neighborhood filled with families with kids so there were plenty of opportunities to mingle.

I feel like the era of real adulthood is over. Just a bunch of adolescents and children in big bodies.[/quote]

We do not live in the same neighborhood. Our kids don’t attend the same schools. We have to go out of our way to make time for each other with our busy schedules.

In years past, we would make plans 6 months in advance to do things together.[/quote]

My point is that you  just have to live with people in your life that are less than perfect. You have to deal with people in your friend group that you dislike. That is adult life.[/quote]

I do not have to invite people to my home that I don’t trust. I don’t have to expose my children to children who cause my children harm.

As I write this, I feel more confident about my feelings toward this woman. I probably got the closest to her and she is not at all who I thought she was. She frightens me. I don’t want to explain to her why I no longer want her in my life.

I would rather not celebrate my birthday in a large group if it means she is there.

I can and will go to events where I know she will be there. I will just continue to avoid her.

I'm the PP you are responding to here, and I take it back. Your follow up post about the other mom describes the situation very differently. I thought it was just a social issue. But I agree, if you don't trust them in your house, you do not need to have them over.[/quote]
