Help - am I being unreasonable
I don’t know if the post partum rage is taking over and I am being unreasonable. My partner thinks I’m overreacting but I’m so annoyed.
My next door neighbour smokes weed in her garden morning, lunch time and evening every day. We live in a terraced house and it blows into our house and makes our house smell constantly. When I was pregnant I asked if she could please smoke further down her garden rather than right by our back door / back bedroom windows. That doesn’t seem to have resolved it and the smell is still getting into our house. She can’t smoke indoors because her housemate doesn’t like the smell of weed. Her suggestion was that she texts me every time she’s going to smoke so I can close our windows and doors. I’ve been doing that but it’s really annoying having to do that x3 a day with a newborn and when the weather is hot. On top of that, she just text me to say she’s going out there and I’ve literally just hung all the babies freshly washed clothes and sleeping bags on the line. This means I’m going to have to take them down now until she’s done smoking.
I want to speak to her again and ask if she can go and smoke elsewhere. We live close to outdoor parks etc. I know it is her garden and she has the right to do as she pleases but I’m so concerned about the risk to my baby with the smoke and I think it’s quite selfish when she knows there is a newborn next door. I honestly am at my wits end and feel like crying because I’m so worried and frustrated about it. My partner thinks I should just leave it go rather than fall out with her but he’s not the one that has to deal with closing all the windows / doors and bringing the washing down / putting it back up just to accommodate her smoking habit. It’s hard on top of exclusively breastfeeding and my other responsibilities with my newborn.
What do you think I should do?
It is illegal to possess it in the UK, unless for medical reasons … ( sounds like it’s for fun! ) report her to the police! Argh! Druggies 😖😖😖😖
