We have lived in the same house happily for 7 years, that was until around 18 months ago. We have two boys aged 8 and 6. Our boys became friendly with one of our neighbours sons. He is the same age as my eldest and is in his class at school. I also work with his mother and this is where things get messy.
This kid is a little shit. He annoys me so much, just to see him. He is here everyday (almost), he plays my kids against eachother and makes them choose 'sides.' I have heard him ask my children for food or a turn on the wii and threaten to go home if he dosent get his own way. He is rough, a bully and a bad influence on my boys.
He rocks up whenever he feels like it and stays until the street lights are on, that's his curfew and he's only 8 years old. The other day I heard him knock and didn't want to open the door, so I turned the radio up so my kids didn't hear the knock on the door.
I'm a friendly person, so have never shown how I feel. His mum considers me a friend, I think. She messages me often. I also have to work quite close with her and she is in a higher position than me. Its getting harder and harder to hide how I'm feeling. I just don't know what to do.
I don't want to make things awkward as we both own our own homes and may be neighbours for years. We also have to have an amicable work relationship. She thinks its great our kids get to grow up together, but I can't do another 10 Years +. I don't want him around my kids, but I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.
We are not moving as it was hard enough getting a motgage for this place. What do I do?
