Mum 'fuming' after neighbour cuts down tree to 'spy' on her

A mum is "fuming" after her next-door-neighbour chopped the top of her tree down in order to "spy" on her.

The mum, who usually gets on well with her neighbours and believes they're "generally" a "really kind" couple, has been left frustrated by the "unbelievably nosy" husband, who continually makes comments about what she's been getting up to in her garden. The mum has told him to "stop nosing" into her garden, even in front of his wife, but the last straw came when she returned from a little getaway to find the top of her tree - which she was growing in an attempt to "mask his view" - had been chopped off, giving him a clearer view of her garden.

Originally taking to Mumsnet's popular Am I Being Unreasonable (AIBU) thread back in January to seek advice, the mum recently posted an update to detail how she'd since tackled the awkward situation. In her original post, dated January 7 2022, she posited: "Snooping neighbour has cut the top off my tree so he can get a better view into my garden. How should I approach this with him?"
