Dear Dr. Michelle:
My neighbor doesn't keep up his yard. In the winter, he never shovels the sidewalk and in the summer, it's the grass. I know it's not my business but it bothers me. Can I say something? How can I get over this when I have to look at it every day?
Thanks,
Glen
Dear Glen:
This is a question many people can relate to. This week, Tera Girardin sits down with Dr. Michelle K. Murray to answer your question via video!
Dr. Michelle K. Murray asks Glen to stop and think about how much he cares about his relationship with his neighbor because sharing criticism without having a strong neighborly foundation could harm the relationship. In terms of how Glen can best get over the situation, Dr. Michelle recommends focusing on what he can control instead of focusing on his neighbor. Learn more in the video response below.
