[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm confused. How old are his kids? How old is his granddaughter? Just ask him to ask first.[/quote]

Kids in their 30s. Granddaughter 3.5.[/quote]

Since the granddaughter is 3.5, I would be willing to bet that she was the instigator.  Like, she was playing in grandpa's backyard, saw the swingset in your yard, decided to help herself.  And then probably grandpa followed and then decided that it wouldn't be the end of the world for her to play on it for a bit.

OP here. If we didn't have a fenced in yard, I'd agree with you (I have my own 3 year old). She could easily have seen our swing set and wanted to come and play. Even made it as far as our gate. But you have to reach over our fence to open the gate. It's kind of a rusty mechanism and you have to jiggle it a bit to get in. No way a 3 year old got in on her own. Someone had to let her in. And while opening the gate, if you look to the right you will see a neighborhood playground just one more house distance down, with no fence around it. Very easy to distract a 3 year old with "no, let's just go across the street--see that playground there? It's so much more fun!"[/quote]

PP here who said I bet the child was the instigator.  Well, if Grandpa had to do that much facilitation for her to get to your swingset, then that is a whole different story.  Yeah, way inappropriate. [/quote]
