Beloved of All
I am having issues with an elderly female neighbor who lives across the street from me.

My family and I are fairly new to the community in which we reside, and no one has really made us feel welcome except her. In fact, the neighbor who lives beside us has been unreasonable in many ways.

She began by waving and speaking to us in a friendly manner. Then, my mother advised me to give her a token of our appreciation during Christmas of 2014.

She insisted on inviting me into her home and gave me a tour of each room, family photos and other personal belongings. I did not think this was necessary or appropriate, since we do not know each other that well. But, she is seemingly lonesome.

She explained how her nephew is the only family member she has in town, while the majority of her immediate family resides elsewhere.

We ended up exchanging phone numbers, and since she no longer drives, I told her to call me if she needed me for anything. I also told her she would be welcome at my home. She told me the same thing.

Lately, she has made it her duty to walk over to my home unannounced and uninvited, almost every other weekend. Mostly on Sundays. Although we exchanged phone numbers, she never opts to call first.

Once, I invited her into our home because I felt obligated to do so. I have regretted this ever since. Now, she has become too friendly and clingy.

Each time I step outside my door to sweep or do anything related to outdoor work, she immediately comes to her front door and yells, "Hello, how are you doing"? It's almost like she is staring outside her window to see when I come outside.

I try waving to her and speaking as friendly as possible, then turning around to continue my work, letting her know I am busy. Soon, she will walk over and stand at the front of my house and keep talking to me anyway.

It's like she is demanding that I stop what I am doing so I can accommodate her. She has done this to me twice, recently. Each time, I have been very short with her. Although she eventually walks away, she does not seem to get the hint that I do not want to talk to her.

I do not want to hurt her feelings or be disrespectful due to her age. However, she is making me very uncomfortable, and she has become quite a nuisance.

Although she goes out of her way to say " Hello" to me and everyone she sees outdoors, I almost feel as if she is fixated on me personally. I do not appreciate this.

I am a 37 year old single woman who has a family and other responsibilities. She is in her early to mid 70's. She is not my equal and we have nothing in common.

How can I get her to back away from me without running the risk of her telling the entire neighborhood that my family and I are not friendly people. We don't need or want anymore enemies.

Thank you and God Bless.
 
I prayed for this. In Jesus Name. Amen.

She may not know that what she is doing is bothering you at times or she may be very lonely. Maybe pray and have God guide you on how to mention it. Maybe say you are more comfortable with being called first to set up visits in advance. Maybe sweetly let her know when she comes over if you are busy, you feel you cannot give her the full attention she deserves or your chores the full attention they need. Maybe word it in a way that comes across as loving and keep in mind, what you do for her, you also do for Jesus. I pray He helps you to set good boundaries that she understands.
 
VERY DIFFICULT SITUATION.  I WAS RAISED TO RESPECT THE ELDERLY TO THE POINT WHERE I WOULD LET ALL RUDE OLD PEOPLE CUT IN FRONT OF ME IN LINE AT DUNKIN' DONUTS.  I CAN SEE GIVING HER RIDES FOR GROCERIES, ETC.  I CAN ALSO SEE LOOKING INTO SOME PROGRAMS THAT GIVE RIDES TO SENIORS TO GO SHOPPING, ETC.  I PRAY GOD GUIDES YOU INTO KNOWING WHERE TO DRAW THE LINE.  YOU CAN BE FIRM WITHOUT BEING RUDE. LOOKS TO ME LIKE YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO BE. I AM PRAYING FOR YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS OF NAZARETH. AMEN AND AMEN.
 
God bless you as I will pray for you in Jesus name and loving heart. May He watch over you and help you with the prayers you are asking for. Praise God. Jesus love all of us. Amen

God all that I have asked of You in this prayer, please do the same for all those I love, care about, and the writer of this prayer. Make each of us a success in Christ Jesus.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.

I am having issues with my family. They are upset with their mother and blaming and taking it out on me. Even saying they can't help give me a ride to work tomorrow. All I do is cry over their hurtful comments. I'm stressed and nervous over their behavior. I don't know what to do anymore.
