[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh I have a neighbor two doors down who like...we should TOTALLY be friends. Our kids are great friends, we have babies the same age who will become great friends, her husband is chill and funny, like this is a match made in neighbor heaven. But she is SO intense. And judgey. It is mostly about baby stuff (like she found out that I took a sip of beer while pregnant and like, physically reacted) so I'm hoping maybe this will ease up as our kids get into the next phase? But it has really made me doubt we will ever be the friends we SHOULD be. [/quote]

See, I don't think you should be friends at all. Seems like the only thing you have in common is your kids and their current ages. I don't try to be adult friends with anyone I wouldn't get along well with if we were both single and childless. The kids can be friends, and I'll be friendly, but in your shoes I wouldn't see this woman as someone who had much in common with me at all to the point I'd think she was a future bestie. [/quote]
