 Hello!
I agree with your husband. I don't think you stepping in will do any good here, it will only increase tensions. It certainly won't make her any warmer toward you and your family! I think this is a good lesson for your daughter - no matter how old she is. There are some people in this world who just aren't nice, who don't return smiles or greetings - but that doesn't mean you should stop being the nice person YOU are. Keep smiling, and keep positive. Don't let other people's bitterness change your good nature and sweet attitude.
It is always important to be a good neighbor, even to people who are difficult. It's tough to be nice who people who aren't, but it's the right thing to do.
Good luck, and I'm sorry that you are stuck next to a lousy neighbor!
