My son has just posted a comment on Facebook that his neighbours moved out today without saying goodbye. I think he is really hurt. My DS and DIL moved into their home about ten years ago. A few years later this couple and two small boys moved in next door. She was pregnant about 6 weeks behind my DIL.(She had another son and my DIL my oldest GD). They were lovely neighbours. She was really helpful towards my son, who is a work from home father. She steered him towards all the playgroups in the neighbourhood and child activities, it's lonely being a home-father as the usual contacts, coffee mornings etc just don't happen. Later both her youngest son and my oldest GD went to pre-school and were in the same class in Reception. From time-to-time I've had daytime care of the girls when my son was away on business. She was incredibly helpful by taking my GD to school a few times when the youngest one was unwell. They swapped house keys, fed cats, baby sat, so friends as well as neighbours. They moved today and not even a goodbye. I'm hoping they have to come back to clean up and clear up the house without the boys being around. As my son is so hurt and somewhat amazed to say the least. He actually said 'were we that terrible?' I'm sure there is a logical reason, I couldn't imagine this couple being like this.
Scottish political mess. Is Devolution working?
