Dear Queenie,
After Hurricane Irma we moved to a new home in a new neighbourhood. We invited our new neighbors to come over to get acquainted and served lots of good food.
We get along okay with them but no-one has ever invited us to their home or even brought anything with them when they come to see us.
Queenie, what do you think about that?—Insulted
Dear Insulted,
Some people do not like to invite outsiders, even good neighbours, into their homes, and after the hurricanes possibly they could not afford to do so – and then with the COVID-19 pandemic it was not advisable.
It is still possible to be on good terms with your neighbours without entertaining each other.
