Our minor dilemma has to do with the two little girls that live next door. They moved in with their ne'er do well parents several months ago, to live with their grandfather, our neighbor. The girls are 4 and 6.
Our problem is that whenever one or both of us are outside, the girls appear out of no where to shadow us. It's non stop questions and non stop "look at me". It's the most annoying when we're sitting outside on our back patio, enjoying the evening or having supper. That time is NOT meant to be shared.
It was my habit to sit out back in the morning for a few minutes, drinking my tea or water and watch the birds. Not since these two moved in!
I've gone from being friendly to them to polite to civil to barely acknowledging them. I hate being put in that position.
Add to the situation that they are starved for adult attention and seem to be left to their own devices to roam at will.
I need to find a way to give them boundaries but do not want to be "that mean lady".
