To tell next doors kids to sod off?!

[Mischa123]

We have some neighbours that have always been harmless enough, haven't really had much to do with them really, the woman has in the last little while got into a new relationship. He has 3 kids. They seem lovely children and my youngest child gets on with them very well. The problem is they constantly stand and watch over our garden fence!!!! They have a raised section that means they can look over our 6 ft fence without a problem or they drag over a toy etc to stand on. It drives our dog mad so she is constantly barking at them, and they tell her to stop, I can't stand it. I want to be able to walk around in my garden without them constantly popping up and watching. We have French doors in the back of the house and so they can see into the house so I can't walk around with my boobs out incase they are watching! I even saw the bloke a couple of weeks ago watching me as I hoovered, my DP thinks they are harmless and I shouldn't bother about it but they drive me mad!!!

teens should have been the

OP
have done lots of passive aggressive mumbling loudly about not having any privacy

Why make things complicated. You Should just ask them to stop as it's irritating you. You can be polite and apologise if you wish but it's much better to be clear cut about what you want.

You need to tell them exactly what they need to do and why. 'Please stop looking over the fence at us. It's annoying me and I would like you to stop. Thank you'.

I'd have a chat with your neighbour, explain it makes the dog bark as well as it being a bit awkward. I'd also get some bushes planted asap.

If the fence is the neighbors responsibility, I'd be tempted to ask if they mind you putting up some trellis for extra privacy. They might just get the message!
Other than that I'd suggest a mosquito alarm but it would bother your dog and child so it would be a no go.
