Hello dear members,
I discovered your lovely forum thanks to Google. Unfortunately, as is often the case, a problem has brought me here.
We are building an extension onto an existing semi-detached house in Baden-Württemberg.
We are building on a slab foundation. The friendly neighbor built his half with a basement.
We live 70 kilometers (about 43 miles) away from the construction site.
Therefore, with both of us working and having two children, we cannot be at the site all the time.
Yesterday morning, the workers began setting the formwork for the slab foundation.
When I arrived at the site yesterday, my friendly neighbor was already there waiting for me.
He yelled at me quite loudly and was extremely angry.
He said that the slab foundation towards his side was insulated only with Styrodur (extruded polystyrene).
One of the workers tried to explain that in addition to the Styrodur, a 4 cm (1.6 inch) soundproofing wall would be installed along the house.
Still, he did not calm down.
He just kept yelling. He said he would take pictures and that he would refuse to pay.
We have no intention of demanding any money from him.
I was really shocked!!!
Actually, he should be worried, since he built 3 cm (1.2 inches) of his house’s total length over our property boundary.
What is the legal situation here?
I told my husband about it.
He wanted to see a lawyer right away.
For me, maintaining peace with the neighbor is more important.
Please excuse my spelling mistakes and my lack of knowledge. I have two children and need to keep them happy at the same time.
Thank you,
Sandra

Even with children, you can’t really tell other parents what to do... it never goes down well. Either they don’t care, or they are facing the same problem but can’t solve it. Then they get grumpy out of embarrassment.
Our wedding was child-free because neither we nor the guests had children at the time. Convenient.
Our wedding was quite small too, with about 20 people. And it wasn’t “the best day” of our lives, which is just advertising nonsense. Still, it was almost perfect.
Wishing the original poster continued patience.

Not every friend appreciates it when people without children get involved On the one hand, I think Yvonne already mentioned that equating people without children with those who are out of touch with educational realities is only as true as the typical stereotypes; on the other hand, I only partly identify with the term "childless": while it is true that I am not raising offspring, I have led more than twenty employees from six different countries, which definitely doesn’t happen without any talent.

That matches my experience as well. A chain of clichés that you especially always wanted at your wedding. Everything has to be included, from the carriage to the white dove, the castle (garden), and everyone has to be perfect.
It’s like combining a Tuscan villa with smoky eyes. The white helium balloons, men please in black, women in pink with yellow underwear. Gifts starting at €150 (around $160) per person. Anyone leaving the party before midnight will not be on the list for the next barbecue evening! The planner also has to remind everyone five times to leave a funny comment in the guestbook so that allessandro can proudly show it off for another seven years. WE WERE THERE

Hello
Here, all clichés are being played out.
Someone who doesn’t like children at their wedding is labeled a child hater.
Someone who doesn’t want dogs running between their feet while jogging is called a dog hater.
Someone who doesn’t want cat droppings in their flower beds is considered a cat hater.
Someone who doesn’t like tobacco smoke and cigarette butts is seen as a party pooper.
Do you notice anything? I don’t think so.
Alessandro wants to experience what is (hopefully) the happiest day of his life in a way that brings him the most joy. But the so-called wise and tolerant forum users see this as an affront to their supposedly open-minded worldview. Can you really not accept that there are people in the world who don’t think like you? Unbelievable, but they do exist.
