What would you do if you had Born Again Relatives

Community is normally better of not knowing. A neighbor who minds their own business is a good neighbor in my book. If what I do has a negative impact on someone, relative, neighbor - then they have may have a right to to "know" but since it does.. they are better off being left in the dark. Good think I don't live in Jersey I guess.

I agree. The less I know about my weird neighbors too - the better! What I do know makes me worry about the property value!

However, I do have curious neighbors... I got in an argument with a woman down the street who called my then 10-year old "a little bitch" to my face (because my daughter and her friend were playing catch with a tennis ball in the street near her home). She said, "well your family is weird anyway... you sit in that house with the door closed and never come out... what are you doing in there all day?"

I have a feeling she is the sort that would cause trouble. She already called the school board to report my kids truant. We are registered homeschoolers with the state so fortunately I had my "papers" as proof.

But family? If I had born again Christians trying to stick their nose in my business I wouldn't talk with them about it at all. It's like talking to a wall... been there, done that, won't do it again.
