People suck. Adults bulling, need advice.

Ducks for attention but relevant at the end. Thanks for allowing me this vent.

I've lived in my neighborhood for almost 3 years. During this time one of my neighbors has taken it upon themselves to be the organizer for our circle. Unfortunately we have kids the exact same age so we spend time together.

In the beginning, I realized something was off when she asked me to sit outside and watch our houses from outside while our toddlers are sleeping so she can run an errand. Hers was sick and I felt bad. I agreed to do it against all of my instincts!

But it was confirmed when she began sending her older child over to my house everyday so the toddler could nap. I finally started saying no after about 2 months and that stopped. I pointedly asked her why her kids couldn't be home with their little sister and it stopped.

Since then she has done things like: ~Not invited people to neighborhood events only to point it out to them later.

~Sold me their treadmill then wanted to come use it in my garage.

~invited my family to the nutcracker and then wanted me to get a refund for my son's ticket because he's a boy and the nutcracker is for girls.

~I invited a few neighbors over to a bbq. She texted me about an hour before asking if we could serve the food I had prepared in her driveway since it's "easier". Not sure what was easier, she lives 8 houses away, not nextdoor.

~Texted me about an argument she's having with someone I barely talk to. The gist of the argument is she and her family are not quarantining and refuse to social distance when on our street. The neighbor asked her if she could please give them a little more space when out on a walk with her newborn. I received a text message stating that she wanted to be able to tell me first that she did not want anyone's baby to die. I never did speak to newborn mama about it cause I barely know her. And their argument is not my business! I did tell her I was completely confused as to why she was bringing me into the argument.

~mentioned as a side note that my family was the only reason that masks would be required for the neighborhood easter egg hunt (that was this last weekend)

~But the reason for the duckling pic and my tolerance for being bullied being at max capacity was this. About a week ago a family of ducks hatched in our neighborhood pool. I worked with our local wildlife rehabilitation center to relocate them to a place that would not domestic or kill them. (I am a fish biologist so this is right in my wheelhouse, just wrong organism). It was about 6 days worth of work and observance. Less than 48 hours before the removal occured her kids found the ducklings. I didn't ask her permission to move the ducklings and she was pissed. Texting me about how selfish I was to move them. That I am horrible person for not including her in the move. That moving wild animals could kill them. (She also wrote in this flurry of texts how she's knows I'm saying bad things about her to newborn baby mama. Geeze the babies 7 months old now!)

If I weren't so emotionally drained by her I could laugh! Thank you for the vent. Maybe now I can stop shaking with anger and sleep!
