Don't come

By anonymous - This FML is from back in 2016 but it's good stuff

Today, my parents and in-laws are in a bidding war for the house next door, since we are about to have a son. We're not even sure if we want them living this close. FML

Get a dog and train him/her to build a shit barrier in their yard to keep them away from your house.

I would normally say that having parents or in laws close would be good for helping with the baby...but not that close to you.

Oh lord. I think living an hour away from family gets annoying but next door would cause me to move, I wouldn't care how pregnant I would be. I understand people get excited over babies, but trust me you should set boundaries. If you don't you'll be walked all over and it WILL get worse.

Reminds me of Everybody Loves Raymond

My mom is my neighbor, and my husband's mom lives directly across the street. We thought having them that close would be a nightmare, but we literally only see them probably once a month. And its mighty convenient when you need milk for a recipe and you're out ;)

List your house for sale. You don't have to sell it, but it should end the bidding war.

once they move in shit on their doorstep every morning until they leave it works every time

Not too late to accidentally burn it down

Better hope they don't decide to put in a joint offer and alternate living there on a week by week basis. Or worse, all of them live there full time.

But ur life could be like 'everyone loves Raymond'! Fun...
