Question

What should i do when i have certain neighbours who moans about everything?

Answer 1

avoid as much as possible.  But when you have to talk to them say something like this with a smile on your face(this totally disarms them): " Wow, thats a little negative!  One way to look at it is to look at the glass half full not half empty.  We have a lot to be thankful for and I bet if you look for the good in each situation you will find it.  I myself try to keep positive it makes me feel better you should try it".

Answer 2

ignore them

Answer 3

Get them a bottle since this is in the parenting section

Answer 4

I would pretend not to understand them.  Every time they moan, ask them to repeat and repeat until they get fed up!!

Answer 5

just remind them they can make the rules in their home but not yours, they seem to hold the monopoly on rules..... providing your not the prob..........

Answer 6

If it really bugs you could do one of a couple things. You could talk to them about it and ask how they are and why they moan all the time. Try to be understanding (not that I think you aren't)and maybe they will stop moaning

Answer 7

Ignore them they are not worth it.

Answer 8

tell them to stop moaning

Answer 9

ignore them!  thats what i do with my moaning neighbours
