I would not. I would just say it doesn’t work.

What you get for bragging about being a woman of leisure is that people now know you are a woman of leisure.

In a world where you can be anything, choose to be kind. Yes your neighbor was obnoxious. But imagine how it feels to have to ask for your help after he made those remarks. You don’t owe it but is it really a hardship for you?

This.
Also, stop musing on FB. It’s not your diary or journal.

I regret posting it and I’ve since deleted my account because I assessed my behavior and believe it’s desperate to post on FB. But he’s still a jerk who can’t stop wondering when I’m going to get a job.


Please reactivate your account just to post about a spa appointment shortly after pickup!



Sure. And tag him!

Then, explain all of the context so that everyone will know how obnoxious he is and how saintly you are.

He’s not struggling too much if he has time to harass the neighbors.... just sayin...

I’ve never led asking someone for a go or with an insult or put down. Being a single dad is no excuse for being an entitled a$$hole.


It's a comment that you would post on a friend's post, not a neighbor. Sounds like he's friends with OP and her DH, although she doesn't like him as much.


Meh. If she doesn’t like him much, all the more reason to stay away from him, no?



You don't have anything to do with your DH's friends or their kids?

Never?

Lent has nothing to do with becoming a doormat.



Helping a neighbor isn't being a doormat?


Using your free time to help someone who mocks you for having free time is indeed being a doormat.

Go volunteer at a shelter or do something for people who actually need help if you’d like to do a good deed.

“No, that won’t work for us, Bob.”

I don’t give reasons, it’s an invitation for more questions and queries. Big smile, turn and walk away if it’s in person or just send a text.

I don’t understand adults who can’t say no.
