Neighbours kids keep looking over our fence

[lilybit2025]

As the title suggests. Young girl around 5-6 keeps looking over at our fence. Did it a handful of times yesterday until I turned around and said 'hello can I help you?' And she's doing it again today. It sets our dog off and drives her insane yet she still does it.
I find it incredibly intrusive and I don't know if our neighbours know she's doing it and she's only a child but we do not have children and aren't particularly fond of them either.

Yes I’ve read it. The dog wouldn’t bark if she bade friends with it

We are many and we are strong.

Water pistol / sprinkler

Not necessarily true, a dog will bark for various reasons. Nothing to suggest the dog wouldn’t continue to bark even if she made friends with it.
But regardless, why should the OP facilitate a friendship between a neighbouring child and her dog (which doesn’t sound like what she wants) purely because the parents can’t be arsed to parent, and the child does what she wants 🤷🏼‍♀️

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Good lord, what a miserable bunch on this thread.

Meaningless bollocks.

Puke 🤮 🤮🤮

Have you tried speaking to her parents.

Holy fuck.

Yes I’m sure a 5 year old girl is that manipulative 😂 there are posters on this thread that sound more immature than the 5 year old

Given the hold is barking at your dog, and her parents not parenting, I’d say something along the lines of piss off too.

Have you tried reading OP's updates?

Read the thread!! Parents are in denial, their little precious wouldn't do such a thing

Wonder if it's acceptable to say you don't like any other massive generalised group of people in the same way people seem to think it's acceptable to say they "don't like" children.

Stop worrying about mners having children or not and start thinking about why you’re trying to blame the op (and her dog!) for this situation. Parent your children properly and people won’t be so pissed off by them.

She’s an innocent child. She’ll get bored eventually, just let her do it.

And if she doesn’t get bored? What age do kids need to be before you’re allowed to be annoyed by them?

BTW I agree this isn't OK, I just find it completely bizarre that it's deemed acceptable to just say you "don't like" children in a way that wouldn't be ok about any other group of people.

Is this a genuine question or just too many words to say that you “wish you were still able to tell it like it is without PC gone mad”?

Innocent until proven guilty.

It’s the behaviour people don’t like. Help your kids out by teaching them how to behave.

Our neighbours have a dark that barks every time one of us is on our driveway. Sometimes our kids look through the hedge to try and see it. I think your barky dog is the problem, not a kid being curious. She'll stop being interested before long but your dog will still be a nuisance to them if it barks every time someone looks at it

Obviously barbed wire and a motion sensor with sirens.Or as the days get warmer you must develop an interest in nudism.
