Neighbour request

More a WWYD, but posting here for traffic!

So, we recently completed on a holiday property, which we've been visiting at the weekends to get ready and to use ourselves.

Met neighbour about 3/4 tines, seems ok many a bit intense. She has a lodger (she told us) met him a few times also. Nice again, just chit chat, you know weather and general chat.

We swapped numbers with the neighbour in case of issues. Anyway had a text yesterday asking were we down this weekend and if so she needed a favour if we are. I replied all happily, yes what could we do to help? Though it was going to be could she borrow mower her was broken or could we put bin out, something like that.

No, she said "I'm away for the weekend, if lodger has his kids over can you text me, I'm not far and will come back".

I just replied ok.

Now, I don't want to spy and tell tales. It's not my business and now I wished I'd said I don't feel comfortable about it.

She may have good reason to not want the children there but I don't want to be involved in that situation.

I kind of intend to make sure the coast is clear when I leave the property, so I won't see them and can say that.

Should I text and say I don't want to do this or just "not" see them. I should I do as she's asked?

Just ignore it. If she messages after the weekend, say I didn't notice anything, but we were out a lot.
I wouldn't want to get in the middle of this either.

@Troels , brilliant I'll just say that! We were out a lot, why didn't I think of that! 😂

“We didn’t see anyone we were out” is perfect

She should install cameras if she’s worried
