Is she for real. now that I am hysterical crying. ....Well everyone now the 'summer dog' has a pumkin shirt and a pilgrim hat on...

We moved in upstairs from my cousins. They turned into the cousin from hell they act like 5 year olds. Im ready to move tomorrow. She sent me this email. We bought 70.00 worth of decorations yesterday. My husband took everything down like she asked and also took everything they had that the used like his tools from the shed our lawn chairs. He is going to take our lawn mower that they use and put it at my moms house. Im so upset. My husband is pissed.

Heres the email.. i can't believe this.

I was hoping to have heard from you by now but I guess you were busy or
maybe still asleep. Anyway I have to get this out, I was up all night
thinking about it.
When Dan and I looked at the house we had to decide whether we were going
to take the upstairs, or pay more and take the downstairs. The main reason
that we chose the downstairs was that for the first time in 6 years I would
have a front yard and garden that I could finally take care of and decorate
on my own. You have seen the hours, more like days, I have put into making
the outside of the house look just right.You guys stood there and watched
me pull all of those weeds out of the front, plant all the flowers just so,
and I have bought all kinds of lawn and garden things to decorate it. To
come home yesterday and see that you guys had completely taken over and
decorated for Halloween really upset me. I couldn't believe that you did
that. I know that it sucks to be the ones not living in the main part of
the house, I did it for 6 years, but it's just how it is. You guys live
upstairs and we live downstairs. Whatever you want to do upstairs do, but
the downstairs and the front of the house is something that I have taken a
lot of pride in and was just getting to the point where I was really happy
with the way it looked. Halloween is over 5 weeks away, I haven't even had
a chance to change my spring/summer stuff over to fall. I have a lot of
just fall stuff to put out before any Halloween stuff. It's just way to
early to have that stuff up yet. If you guys want to be involved when we
decorate in like 3 weeks you are more than welcome but to completely
disregard all of my hard work is just not OK. You didn't even ask me what I
was doing for the holidays. It was really unfair of you to do that. Please
take the Halloween stuff down today and I will let you know when I am going
to decorate and we can all do it together if you want to. I'm sorry if your
mad at me about this, I really wish you didn't put me in the position to
have to talk to you about it. I have waited to long to have a 1st floor of
a house and it's not right that you took it away from me.

I'll be around tonight or you can call me at work and we can talk about it.
I don't want to cause any trouble but I needed you to know and understand
how I felt.
I love ya Kris, I'm not mad just upset.

Hmmm,
Wow,
I'm at a loss, you do PAY to live there, don't ya? I just don't even know what to say to that. I can't believe this would bother someone so much, to actually ask you to take your stuff down.

Its your apartment, you had every right to decorate it if you wanted to. Are you returning the decorations?

do you pay rent to her? In other words, is she the owner of the house?

I'm also at a loss...was this your second floor apartment windows that you decorated? If it was, that's ridiculous that she would be so upset by it...

let me get this straight.....you live upstairs and they downstairs, right? if thats the case, I agree with your cousin. You have no rights to the front or backyard. I lived upstairs, on the top floor of a cape and only decorated my half...upstairs.

Maybe you can talk to your cousin and explain that you just wanted to house to look festive for the fall season. Maybe she will understand.

Re: Is she for real. now that I am hysterical crying. ....

Nah im not returning them we took them all down and next year when we have a nice house they will all go up. But Mike is taking his lawnmower away..... his tools all came out of the shed and his lawn chairs came out of the shed now my spare room is a disaster. Mike is so pissed and im afraid this is going to be a war. We pay to live here and we have everyright to use the yard. When i saw her last night she said ' O it looks cute I have a lot more to add' Why didn't she say something to me then? Im hysterical crying right now. I call my mom and she like sticks up for her. She pulled **** at my shower too. And my mom stuck up for her. I can't believe this Crap. All i know is my husband is pissed and he is the wrong one to piss off.... O GOD this sucks.

NO SHE IS NOT THE OWNER OF THE HOUSE SHE PAYS RENT TO THE LANDLORD JUST LIKE WE DO. She pays 150.00 more then we do which entiles her to use of the basement and two spots in the driveway.

The landlord gave us rights to the yard as well as our cousins when we moved in. All i put out side was a sign that said Stop here for treat and a happy halloween sign. Thats it.

Was it ever determined and settled that she would be in charge and care for the front yard?

I am just not sure why she would be so appalled that you took the initiative to make the house festive. She is making you out to be a villan with bad intentions.

I would definitely talk to her or you will end up hating being in your home!

Edited bc I just read the other posts

The email was the coward's way out. She should have given you enough respect to tell you face to face that she was upset.

Does she have an arrangement with owner that you don't know about?

Re: Is she for real. now that I am hysterical crying. ....

I already hate living here and I have a beautiful apt. Even nicer then her's (those where her words) When her sisters mothers his family comes over and parks in our spot in the driveway we let it slide. When Mike mows the lawn with his lawn mower we let it slide. When they call at 830 at night and say sorry ure vaccuum is to loud could u stop we stop. When he calls at 8 am (mike and i work till midnight so we sleep late) and says my babysitter is running late which happens a lot and she says can you do me a favor and come down here and babysit I get out of bed.

I also thought she was the owner of the house...but, since that is not the case...this becomes a completely different scenario.

It seemed from her email when she stated she waited so long to be able to decorate her yard...what yard??? It's not hers!!! And, if you both pay rent, then I would say that you should speak to the owner of the house and ask them if you have any rights to the yard and if you are allowed to decorate.

Re: Is she for real. now that I am hysterical crying. ....

and just to clarify something She never EVER lived upstairs. She lived on the side of houses thats all.

And as my friend just reminded me (my cousin gave her the hardest time during the planning of my shower she refused to pay money) she took the downstairs cause of the baby not the yard.

i would go out and buy more decorations.....and cover the lawn with them - just to spite her!
and then, the day after halloween, i would buy thanksgiving decorations and decorate immediately....and then the day after thanksgiving - go for christmas!!!

if she's going to be petty and immature about it - i'd say give it right back to her!

and if she complains, tell her that you BOTH rent, therefore, she has no right to tell you where you can or can't decorate!!

I think she should have spoken to you rather than send an e-mail...but I also don't think it's SUCH a big deal for her to get upset over. She could have compromised especially since you guys are family!
