Hmmm, we live catty-corner (kitty-corner?) from what is I think a half-
way house of sorts...I haven't quite figured it out yet.Basically 4-6
mentally challenged adults live there, alone. Frequently there's weird
yelling and screeching and belching and what sounds like loud vomiting
but I think is coughing. Though it's not exactly pleasant, it never
occured to me to complain about it. They're all very nice and friendly
too and though the house looks pretty bad, has the most gorgeous
flowers in the front :)
It's not ideal, but in a neighborhood you just accept some of these
things as part of life. I'm more bothered by the idiot whose car alarm
goes off every time a car p***** by (and it's a lousy car, no one
would want to steal it, and we have very low crime in our area now).
Anyway, I'm sorry you're having this hassle with your neighbor. I
agree with others that 1)they can try to make a hassle with CPS, but
they're not going to get anywhere. You're not doing anything wrong.
2)You can try to make some reasonable modifications (keep kids in
backyard some hours) and 3) being bilingual is excellent and they're
ignorant to think otherwise, not to mention it's none of their
business.
I presume you're getting therapy for your child.
