I posted about that thread early on (page 2) and the OP said it wasn't the same neighbours and then closed her posts off,
both neighbours are lovely but then ....

both neighbours are lovely but then ....
OP has a husband. Why doesn't discuss the situation with him? She hasn't mentioned his stance on the situation aside from saying he can't look after the kids because he works or something along those lines. She makes it sound as though he's leaving it all to her to handle. In instances like these, both parents should be involved and have a conversation. I find it odd OP would rather turn to strangers than come up with a plan of action with her husband instead.
If fake, is anyone else a bit weirded or creeped out that someone will make up a story about a possibly neglected hungry little girl to get clicks and replies on a forum?
I don’t know if it’s because I’m quite practical but if I thought a child was in anyway being neglected or abused, I would give social services a call. Not pander on an online forum and skip around the advice other people who had similar situations were giving to me
Definitely seems odd to come onto an advice forum and post 2 separate threads about both sets of neighbours. Especially as on the dog thread those neighbours seemed to have multiple children between the ages of 2-8.
Now if there is 3 houses in a row all with children the same age there has got to be some kind of rapport between all adults.
1000%. If I was in her shoes I’d immediate take that child back to her parents or id phone the police if I was concerned the child was missing or in danger. So odd to make this up.
She did big herself up in a way. " I'm way too lovely and kind" "I could only give her poxy cereal, how great of me"
kicking herself down, but at the same time making herself look over the top kind and generous
Exactly this. There's always holes in the story and people end up noticing beause the OP goes on to drip feed more details which trips them up. Honestly I think people like the attention of it all. It's a bit of a laugh when you realise how daft it is but plenty of people have given up their time to offer well-intentioned advice which just goes ignored - if it was a real situation, you'd thank people for their thoughts and go deal with it. Not provide updates on how the kids are apparently climing the fence and setting up camp in the living room for hours on end.
Such a tit lie though if it’s all made up. What a random story. But it does seem odd that there is trouble with 2 sets of neighbours. If I had an aggressive dog on one side trying to bite my kid everytime I opened the door and on the other, kids hopping over the fence day and night, I’d have the house on the market!
The use of the words poxy and bloody is familiar
