I have new neighbours, who have a baby and a toddler. They moved in about 2 weeks ago. Her partner (I assume its her partner anyway...) goes to work during the day and she stays home with the two young ones. Most days all I seem to hear is the baby crying and sounding extremely distressed, and I can only imagine what the mum is going through dealing with her bub and toddler by herself.

I am at home most days, just resting and I feel like sometimes I should go over and take her chocolate or make her a coffee or do some washing for her or something...

But then, our old neighbours had two young kids who used to wander up to our place regularly and let themselves in our front door! I used to take the back home, and one day I offered to watch them while she was doing whatever she was doing (it scared me thinking these young kids would just let themselves into my house... what if they went and let themselves into a peadophiles house?!?!?!) and she got offended and accused me calling her a bad mum...
So I don't want to offend our new neighbours...

Would you be offended? Would you prefer to be left alone? I don't really know how I'd react... Would you appreciate a neighbour bringing over some morning tea? I haven't really met her, except when a little kitten was playing in my front yard and I went over to see if it was theres (they had just moved in).
