Or are my neighbors both CF?!

[Lovethetimeyouhave]

We moved from a tiny flat into a 0 about a week ago now and it has been absolutely lovely, we love the space, it is 3 bedrooms for ds, dp and myself, one of the rooms is being used as an office as I work from home.

On Sunday (5 days after moving in) I was in the garden building the trampoline for ds, my neighbor on the right came out so excited to meet me (second time as she already knocked for a net curtain I was throwing out that I said she could have) and show me her baby son. In under 5 minutes I knew all about her life, how she hates living in her house and.... wants her, her baby and her partner to move in with us! I laughed it off politely and carried on making the trampoline. About half an hour later we were eating BBQ and she beckoned me over again, this time with her partner there, she said how they would love to move in, they'd pay rent, and would leave her MIL (and other family they share with) in the house.... I said I'd speak to my partner and have avoided them since...

Yesterday after finishing work, I came out of the room to find the neighbors son from the left on my landing! He's 4!

When questioning ds he said he was on the trampoline, came inside, when he went back out the kid had been lifted over the fence by the dad and was on the trampoline!!

They're cheeky right? I need to sort this some how!

maybe get some wide strips of timber to “block off” the trampoline bed temporarily when you are out - or some other obstacle on the mat to render it unusable.

I also resorted to “sunbathing naked” in “my” garden when neighbouring kids started invading my space uninvited - with their friends!

I only ever had to do it once - they never ever came back again 😂

Higher fence, immediately, prioritise this, use money you were gonna use for something else but DO IT NOW....

If asked 'oh yes thats the next part of our work that needs doing, we are looking to rescue a dog and the rescues requirements are 6ft fencing' SMILE AND BOUNCE OFF TO DO WHATEVER..

With lunatic-wannabe-lodger 'what, oh yes i told DP, we thought it was SUCH A HILARIOUS JOKE, we are loving all this space and privacy BYE NOW' ... SMILE AND BRISKLY TRUNDLE OFF, DO SOMETHING ELSE..

In both situations do NOT pause for long enough for either party to actually give a response!! Crucial! Do not skip this step!

I had neighbours who wouldn't fuck off. I ended up moving. But I didn't own the place so it wasn't as hard.

Gosh. What a tale

I think these people left the CF station yonks ago and have moved into just plain crazy territory. This situation is surreal.

Avoid them!

Absolutely. ....the moving in neighbours aren't rhe sort ro to take hints.

This feels rather like when you're at uni...meeting people at freshers who want to be bffs then by the end of the week you realise you don't like them enough sober to even have coffee with them ...but in their eyes you're the best thing. ..ever!!and they can't wait to live /share a flat/lI've with you post uni etx etc

Very cheeky and plain weird on her part! Do you like in a mansion?

What the fuck

Good morning all, so yesterday during work I looked out the bank window and there was the boy wandering around my garden, so I went down, no parents in sight, I put him back over the fence, couldn't wait as I was actually in a lesson but he didn't reappear!

What is a 0?? You moved into a 0? I don’t get it

I think you need to talk to the parents of the boy and say he absolutely is not to come into your garden, ever!

I think it's actually time you knock on their door and explain politely that you do not appreciate them putting their son in your garden without asking you. It is an invasion of your privacy and you will not tolerate it so they need to stop. There's no other way to deal with cheeky buggers like this, just hit the nail on the head and tell them how it is.

Put the child over the fence into the crazy lady’s garden and tell her you need her to adopt him as he’s an unwanted stray. Go out for at least 3 hours. Neither set will bother you again.

0 is a house, I have no idea how that typo got there

First off tell cf no1 that you are not insured to have renters/lodgers and it would cause issues with your mortgage.

No. Don't give an excuse, you don't have to make up an excuse like this. Just say no you don't even have to give a reason.

I agree with other posters. After yesterday I think you really need to knock and politely explain that you aren't happy with their dc roaming your garden.

They're obviously totally bonkers and unreasonable, plus pretty neglectful by the sounds of it. Who the fuck would be happy with their 3 year old roaming a strangers garden and house. Really concerning behaviour.

...not sure where I got 3 year old from but 4 is still way too young to just chuck over a strangers fence to freely roam the garden and property.

What age is the right age to chuck over a stranger’s fence?

apple

In my head it made perfect sense before posting.....

These people are insane. Seriously unstable. Get the highest fence you can find and lock your doors

Is their house significantly smaller than yours? I can’t understand how she thought this was appropriate to say to someone unless it was a joke. It’s just insane. I think I’d have just laughed and taken it as a joke although internally thought she was a bit odd

Put it in writing to the child’s parents and keep a copy. Tell them they’re responsible for preventing him accessing your property which you will not be securing for his safety. (Borrow a dog for a few days. A big one, and let it roam the garden)

I have found you,your song op.Play it loud and proud
