[quote=Anonymous]I saw your update, but just wanted to say that if I saw them in my backyard, like you I would have come outside, said hello and asked if they needed anything. After neighbor just said his thing about thinking you weren't home, and just wanting g-daughter to play for a few I would have stood there awkwardly and waited with them watching. After a few minutes of silence, I'd say, "I'm just waiting out here with you until she's done because I'm uncomfortable with anyone in our yard without me or DH here. I'll just wait out here with you until g-daughter is done." and not engaged in pleasantries. I had a similar situation and did that and it worked really well. I was friendly but stood my ground without apologizing and basically let them know that you're not welcome when uninvited. I also made it a bit awkward by not engaging in pleasantries. It made them hurry up and "finish" and leave rather than feeling comfortable and like it was a party.[/quote]
