[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I had a neighbor just like this. There wasn't one thing she wouldn't complain about.  Don't take it personally - I really think this is age related.  She is in her late 70's and I've watched her slow decline over the last 6 years that we've lived next door to her. I actually feel bad for her because I don't think she means any harm, she likely just feels invisible and marginalized. And these last two years has done nothing to help the situation as she seems quite lonely.   We have gone the route of not responding to her emails. And when we see her we're neighborly and wave hello.  But that's it.

Let it go OP.  She is likely suffering in ways you are not aware of. [/quote]

+1. Please tell your husband he’s a jerk for laughing in her face. [/quote]

+1.  We had some conflicts with an elderly neighbor over non-existent issues, and then we learned from another neighbor that she has had serious mental health issues over the years. So, we just engage in superficial pleasantries and ignore otherwise.

Mulberry trees are a mess, and most yard services don't do very good work, but it's your yard, OP.  Just smile and don't engage. (FWIW, my DH is a yard care fanatic, and our neighbor takes minimal care of their yard, but it would never occur to either of us to tell them what to do).  [/quote]
