Eh, not a whole lot of problems. My son is friends with the kid across the street and another across and down the street. Both families are okay.
On one side of my house lives about 3 young females. They pretty much keep to themselves and don't bug me. Once in awhile, they have people over partying. That doesn't bug me too much as I remember those days when everyday was a party. However, it's not acceptable when it's a week night and they're being loud right outside my kids' bedroom windows.
On the other side, there is an older couple. They're okay people, but they've had their moments of being annoying. Used to be that the old dude would be fanatic about taking care of his lawn. That's fine until the old fart starts making comments about mine. Hey jackass, I work and have kids. It's not always convenient to mow the grass and trim when it gets a half inch too tall.
Then there's their 2 dogs, a German shepherd and a chow. Both dogs bark at us all the time. That's one of the reasons I put up a privacy fence around my back yard last Summer. That and the old man was a little too nosey. One year, someone called the animal control on us about our dog. Now, I don't know WTF they were thinking, but our dog is well loved and taken care of. The animal control people went around back, took one quick look at her, and said "oh, she's just fine". I'm pretty sure it was these same neighbors that called them.
They have been much better towards us over the past few years. Just yesterday, they brought us some food (she works at a school and they had some leftover stuff). Last Summer, the old man helped clean up the old shingles off the ground when I was roofing my garage. So, they're much more bearable these days.
Early on, though (been in this house since Feb. 97), they were too nosey. They would freak out over my kids playing on the edge of the front porch, afraid the kids would fall off and hurt themselves. Hell, they're kids. That's what they do. I guarantee that they won't do it again.
