-Okay need some help (no flaming please).

We bought a house in a mid-to late 30's-60 year old's neighborhood (we knew that). It is a quiet neighborhood, we have had a neighbor befriend me and my two kiddos. I am probably (if not) the youngest house owner in my neighborhood (22). They are very sweet people and we have chatted twice now, today they came over and brought my DS (who is 6.5) some candy since they won't be home for Halloween trick or treating.<--------How sweet.
They work a lot (they have said). He is a firefighter, she is an ER nurse, they still haven't met my DH (because he works a lot too).


-How do I go about being a good neighbor/friend (two houses down)? They are probably a good 5-9 years older than us. With it getting colder we won't be able to talk like the two times we have now (walking by-they were outside type of thing). Any and all advice needed.


They don't have any kids (but are trying).


I know this is an ODD question but all of our friends are co-workers or parents of our kids friend.

I think just like you're a good friend to any friend. Invite 'em over for a bbq or dinner now and again

You don't have to be their best friend. Just let things happen naturally. Wave when you see them, etc. When spring/summer comes back around, you can socialize more. Don't worry, you don't have to befriend the whole neighborhood, just be kind and all will work out.

Take them a small plate of home made goodies if you do that sort of thing for thanksgiving and or the other holidays...

I'm confused why you said no flaming?

Age doesn't matter. I've always been the youngest homeowner anywhere I lived, that doesn't matter in being a good neighbor. If they have pets or go out of town for the holidays you can offer to pet/house sit. You can take them homebaked goodies. You can invite them over every now and then for dinner or something. Just be natural, not pushy or anything.
