My neighbour is a lone parent with a two year old dd. She is nice enough but is overly keen on my dds aged ten and seven going round to her house. She used to invite them round for half an hour maybe once a week and they enjoyed it...they like babies and toddlers. Lately this has escalated to almost dsily and whilst the younger dd is often quite keen the older one isnt. If she says no thank you the neighbour looks hurt ....she also asks my older dd "whats wrong? You know you can talk to me if you want." qhich bothers me

She's an adult, there's no need for her to look "hurt", she's coming across as manipulating. I think your children entertain hers which is why she is so keen. Just say no, we're doing x/y/z. She'll back off eventually.

I would guess she is lonely, could you suggest some mother and toddler groups for her to visit so she gets interaction with other people and doesn't try to rely on your DC for interaction?
