The new weird neighbours

From my front office window I get to see all the street action and the new neighbour has just arrived back home. The thing is that when they moved in 2 weeks ago I was all ready to meet and greet and become real buddies. But the opportunity for this never happened. In fact it looked like they were avoiding us and we were avoiding them, but it was all just coincidence. Now it has just become plain weird! My attempts to meet the wife have been thwarted as every time she hears the click of my wire door opening she scuttles away. I have waved to the mother in law over the fence, a bit like waving the white flag, and she did wave back, but then that was all. It also doesn't help that their main living room window looks directly into our kitchen and that their TV is in front of that window so it looks like they are looking me when I am doing the washing up. Already we are on intimate terms and I still haven't even met them. The previous owners used to keep the blinds shut on that side and it was never a problem. And if we did see each other we would wave and laugh.

From what I can tell they are a couple in their early 30's with twins. The twins are cute blond moppets and the husband is a real hottie. She, however, looks like she enjoys a good meal. But the strange thing is that when they moved the husband did everything. And I mean everything. I saw him running, literally, from car to house with boxes all on his own. In a way I felt sorry for him. Where were their friends or relatives? It took him days. Then finally I saw her walk from the car into the house and that was it for a week! Then there is the mother in law. I think she lives with them part of the time. I see her doing the washing and hanging out the clothes, but never smiling. Weird. But what I don't understand is that the wife seems to be either lounging in the backyard fagging or drinking beer and playing card games on the computer or out on errands. When I moved it took me months to get the house in order. I can see into the children's rooms and there are still boxes that she could be unpacking. But what is bugging me is that she left her bins right outside my office window and all she had to do was move them down the side of the house, but she was too interested in fagging and card games. There is also another woman that comes on a regular basis to the house. I think she is the sister, but really how much support does she need? Also they have two cars and sometimes there is only one there all night. Someone in the house is staying away for the night a lot. I also saw the husband getting out of one of the cars with an overnight bag.

I can only speculate on what they are like and here is my list of possibilities:
The husband travels for work
They are on the verge of a separation
She has a personality disorder that requires more help than required
She is a lush and gets the family to help when she can
She has a business and needs the help (I think she works Wednesdays away from the house)
The husband tries to stay away from her because of the personality disorder
The mother in law is interfering (hence the husband stays away)
She knows that I am nosy and is keeping me in suspense

Luckily I am diligent in my observations. I will report further on my findings and keep you posted on any new changes.
