[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I admit, I clicked on this just to make sure it wasn't my neighbors. My DD LOVES the next door neighbor kids (toddler/preschool age) and follows them around when they're outside, including into their yard. their kids are a bit too young to supervise her so it means I tag along as well. We got "oh yeah, sure, it's fine!" about a year ago when dd started walking, but I always wonder if it still is and try to look for signals and cut it short if I get any.[/quote] Stop tagging along, and instead teach your daughter that she stops at the entrance to neighbor's yard. And you meet her at that point and bring her back to your yard. Invite the children she adores over to play in [i]your[/i] backyard.[/quote] +1 [/quote] Yes, PP - you're not as crazy rude as the OP's neighbors but you and your daughter are a PITA. I realize you mean well and I'm sure your child is adorable some of the time. But from someone who has been in your neighbors' position, it wears thin very quickly. We had neighbors like you a few years back and it made me crazy that every time I went to do some gardening I had to manage not only my own kid but someone else's as well - plus her mother tagging along. Ugh. You're watching for signals really? Please, I guarantee your neighbors are sending them. It sounds like the neighbor's kids are not the same age as yours, right? Believe me, they don't want you guys there even if they're too polite to say so. If your kid is hire in your own yard find her some toys, organize play dates, take her to the park, whatever. Just don't haunt your neighbors in their own yard![/quote]
