I feel lonely a lot. All of my close friends have moved away.

My neighbors aren't exactly friendly either. One of my neighbor's 7-year old daughters came over to my house last year and told me that her mom said that we are bad neighbors. This came out of nowhere! She proceeded to tell us that her dad didn't have any problems with us, but her mom didn't like us. This little brat came over and told me this on two separate occasions. We have done nothing to these people. The outside of our house is neat and clean, we keep our yard mowed, we don't play loud music or have lots of people over, etc. Don't know what the problem is, but they always seemed a little strange anyways.

My husband has three sisters, and out of all of them only one lives in town and she is the one that we like the least. We have never done anything to her (we've actually gone out of our way to be nice), but she is always trying to exclude us from activities that she and my husband's other sisters are doing. Once in a while all of my husbands sisters and their families get together for a mini vacation, one or two of them will invite us, and the sister that lives here will kind of uninvite us. She will make comments like "you should probably stay home and save your money instead of going with us." I don't get it because we've never discussed money with anyone at all. We don't ever say anything about how well we are or aren't doing, and, come to think of it, although DH is the baby of the family, we're the only ones who have never borrowed any money from his parents. The same sister will also make comments when we find out they did something without inviting us like "I was going to invite you, but I thought you would be busy." DH makes jokes that he has to have a minimum of two drinks before we go to a family function with that sister there. He also says that she needs to talk to Dr. Phil.

Wow! I guess I really needed to vent! I could go on about my SIL, but I'll spare you all.
