Neighbors Moved Away

[Nebulous]

Well my neighbors decided that they are going to move to Nevada. The wife's mom died and she said that they had no reason to stay here anymore since there is no more family.

Anyway that means my daughters friend is gone, I'm sure she will be upset at that.



Now I have no connection or bond with anyone who lives around me. Hopefully the landlord picks a good replacement tenant (he owns both houses).

Let's hope you get another neighbor with kids. What happens in the mean time for the payments on water etc, if i remember correctly it was split down the middle?

 

[ThaBawse]

Good fer yew! Now to make new friends...

 

[Angel]

Oh that's sad for you and your daughter. I hope you end up with great neighbors with children her age. If not, at least there is still school and I know you are very active with her.

I'll probably make a deal with the landlord to pay 2/3rds of the bills and he pays 1/3rd because Im sure he will spend a month or two fixing it up and trying to find new tenants. They left me the keys to give to him.. I went in there and checked it out.. He has some work to do. The carpet in the bedroom is all stained up for one. He might have to change it out.

Good fer yew! Now to make new friends...

If my little 6 year old's heart breaking because her best friend (at dad's house) is moving out of state is a good for me then... Thanks I suppose.

Thanks hun. Looks like more trips to the park on the weekends. No little friend to keep her occupied.

Anyway, they did give me their bed which was good because my daughter did not have a bed in her room. She was sleeping in my bed since we moved in here.

Oh, then not so good. But I mean, that's life. I'm sure she'll get over it eventually and make a new best friend(s).

I know..

That's sad for your daughter. I hope the next people that move in have children she can play with. Are there any children from her school that maybe you could invite over for day or to have a sleep over? You're a good dad Nebulous and I'm sure she will still have fun when she comes to stay with you

 

[Nebulous]

She does have friends from school but the school is in her moms neighborhood and she plays with them there.

 

[Jazzy]

Are there any other children on the street where you live?

 

[Nebulous]

Nope.. Only 4 houses here.

 

[Jazzy]

I hope you got a forwarding address. It would be fun for your daughter to be pen pals with this other little girl. They could exchange pictures/letters and keep in touch. This way even though the little girl moved, your daughter could still keep her as a friend.

 

[Evil Eye]

D'aww, that's too bad, Nebulous.

Actually they were out in a split second.. Just the other day they were propositioning me to put a washer/dryer in my house for them and I to share (they dont have washer dryer hookups), which I said No to because I dont want them to always have a reason to come in my house. I didnt say that though.

Then yesterday they said we're moving to Nevada and they said they werent going to give the landlord a fowarding address or phone number... Packed up their belongings really quick. Gave all their furniture away (they gave me a bed and an end table, gave their couch and other stuff to their cousin) and left behind whatever could not fit in the car. They did not even clean their house really good. I don't understand how people can be so impulsive like that. Obviously they paid their rent up to the end of the month so they still have a whole week to iron out all the details.

 

[Jazzy]

Sounds like they are running from something. I no longer believe the mother died and we are now moving story. Anyone who moves that quick (IMO) is doing it for a reason.

 

[Nebulous]

It does sound a little fishy to me.. But it could just be impulsiveness as well.

 

[Jazzy]

Not to me it doesn't. It still sounds like they are running from something. I truly hope not because of the little girl involved. Better check any item they gave you for hidden drugs as they might come back for them

Sunday my daughter's mom came over to pick up my daughter. I showed her the vacant house (as I still have the keys) and tried to convince her to think about renting it.

Yeah I know it sound crazy or it would be an awkward situation, but it would mean that my daughter could be with me every single day instead of half the week. I dont care if my ex and her new husband are living next to me. The kid is more important.

Anyway she said she did not want to live there because it was too small (old small one bedroom house for 3 people / 4 with my daughter).. Currently they are living with the husband's grandparents and I tried to make her realize that she will have more space in that little house than she does in the 2 bedrooms her and her little group currently occupy. Plus my daughter could have her own room (at my house) instead of sharing one with her 3 year old half-brother.

Anyway she wasn't going for it externally but I could tell she was considering it on the inside.

Wouldn't that mean that your daughter would have to leave her friends behind if they moved? Would she also have to change schools? Have you also considered the husband doesn't want to live near you? They probably pay very little to live with the husband's grandparents. I know you love your daughter very much but think it's kind of selfish of you to want her to move just to be closer to you. Your daughter has been through so much lately (loss of two rabbits and her friend that used to live next to you) that I don't think this is a very good idea.

 

[Nebulous]

It would not mean any of that.. She could still go the same school as they could still use the grandparents address. Also they have been wanting to move out of there for a while now. If you want to call my suggestion selfish, then go right ahead but it will only make her a happier little girl and her life better to have both parents around every day.
