If a guy pays too much attention to his neighbors and their kids, he is probably a pedo serial killer.
If a guy minds his own business, seems normal, and is "quiet", he is probably a pedo serial killer.
But seriously, from OPs description, he sounds annoying at the very least. Emotionally stunted and has way too much time on his hands. Involuntarily lonely.
I think this is something she should be paying attention to.
OP: Not my neighbor, not my problem and even if it was my neighbor I don't see an issue unless one of the children says something.
Do you ever wonder how many assume you are different or outside of normal?
I will ask though, how exactly do you know how often he does what he does?
Do you not work so you can stand at your window all day to spy on your neighbors?
thinkalot: Why? In the OP's post there is nothing to indicate anything odd going on.
There is an assumption on the OP's part about an issue which is simply their *opinion* that something is going on. The OP also indicates how the neighbor is *wayyyyy to involved in their neighbor's life* however, the OP appears to know the details of *her neighbors life* so in essence the OP is the the
pot calling the kettle black. It is okay for the OP to spy on her neighbors but not okay for the neighbor to do the same.
I don't know that I'd stay away from him, but I'd keep my kids away from him unless I was right there to supervise.
I don't think I'd keep my kids away from the fireworks display but they would understand that they were never to be alone with him under any circumstances.
He might be innocent. Why take that chance?
You can at least be polite to him, OP, even if you want to distance yourself from him.
He sounds like one of those attention seeking types with too much time on his hands. Still, in this day and age, I'd keep an eye on the kids when he's around them. He may also be one of those people who hate being alone. Does the GF have a job? Maybe when she's at work and the kids are at school, the walls start to close in on him. He doesn't sound so much nice as needy.
So we live in a complex of townhouses with a park in the back. Across from us lives a family with 3 children. Next to them lives a 30 something year old male, his girlfriend and 3 dogs. I will refer to this male as SWM.
So basically, whenever anyone who lives on either side of him comes out on their porch or to use their yard, SWM immediately rushes outside to talk to them. Whenever their children are outside, SWM rushes out to play with them, talk to them, etc... I don't think this guy has a job because he is always home. It's like he waits by his window all day for someone to come out.
We've lived here for a while and our back yard faces theirs so we've been able to watch SWM somewhat. His behaviour is strange. Very childlike in the sense that he's attention seeking. He set off a big firework show in the back last month and was talking about how loved he felt because of how much attention he had. He also likes to loudly brag about how much money he has.
So anyway, we can't decide if SWM is just one of those almost too nice sort of people or if there's something wrong there.. He seems wayyy too interested in his neighbour's lives and their children. He almost acts like a Dad to them..

What do you think?
He could be an oddball. But why did you have to bring race into it?
You seem somewhat obsessed with him, watching him often. You do know people work from home these
days?
If you're that concerned than mention it to the families with children.
And he's not single if he has a girfriend that he lives with.

I said it was something she should be paying attention to. There may be nothing to it but keeping your eyes open doesn't hurt.

Doesn't this indicate that he is eager for company.
Why are you focusing on the kid part of it when you say he does the same thing with the adults?
