Wwyd. My dc 3 and almost 2 were in my garden playing while i did some house work (gates are locked) they came running into the house with crisps. I took them off as i didnt know were thay came from and when i went to the bin with rubbish i heard my neighbour calling my children to the back gate offering more sweets. I asked her to not do this as i dont want them taking sweets from strangers and she should ask me before giving my children things. Iv just now had her adult daughter at my door saying i was out of line and her mum was just being friendly. Wwyd here because i was raised not to take sweets from strangers. I feel she very uncomfortable with her calling my small children over when im not there and giving them treats. Iv also caught her a few times when they are out the front playing trying to open my gate (i padlock it when dc are in garden as we live right next to a busy road) and when i come out she pretends it was a game.

I dont want to have any issues with neighbours because i plan on staying in this house long term but i feel my dc should be able to play in their garden without having someone who is a stranger feeding them sweets. I dont want them thinking its ok to take sweets from strangers. All i said to this woman was thanks but id prefer if you want to give them anything you tell me first as there only small yet and sometimes i dont let them have treats if its close to meal time. She agreed and i thought that was it
