In today's Ask Amy column, Amy Dickinson responds to a mother who is bothered by her family's new neighbor and his hugs.A new neighbor moved in. I left a welcome gift on their porch, like I do for everyone that moves in.My husband and I went to their house and our children stayed home.
During dinner he mentioned wanting to use our pool. After more texts from him, we invited them over on a Sunday evening.My older son put out his hand for a handshake. The neighbor said, “Oh, a handshake, huh?”A few weeks later he texted, asking my son to feed their dog while they were away.We weren’t comfortable sending him by himself because of the hugging.
Again, the neighbor commented that my son shook his hand instead of hugging him. I was proud of my son. And glad I didn’t send him alone. How can I be a kind neighbor but create space? My husband and I are jokingly telling each other we are ready to move.I’m not there. You are. And while my instincts tell me that this neighbor is a pushy boundary crosser and close-hugger who doesn’t have children and is not used to dealing with families, I might not see actual danger residing next door.
