A WOMAN has revealed how her neighbour's allow their daughter to spy on her and her family in their garden.
She claimed the situation was 'becoming awkward' and that she wanted to set boundaries so she didn't have to invite her neighbours round.
She took to the Mumsnet forum anonymously to discuss her concerns, and said she was fed up of having to let them in every time they came spying.
The mum added her kid was friends with the six-year-old girl, and that she didn't mind her coming over when it has been arranged, but did think it was rude to be constantly watched in her own garden.
To make matters worse, the child's parent is always around when she does her snooping, and the mum think's the parents should know better than to let their daughter invade her family's privacy.
She wrote: "The houses aren’t next to each other, she comes down the lane behind the houses and stares in.
"I know she does this because her mum has told me, and yesterday I could see her feet at the bottom of the gate.
"I don’t mind her coming in to play when we’ve arranged it, but I do mind being secretly watched in my garden and the parents thinking it’s ok to let them.

"Also it’s awkward knowing they’re there watching us when I don’t always want to invite them in."
The mum summed up the post saying she didn't blame the child but that her parents should be stopping her instead of encouraging it by going to the fence with their daughter.
She wondered if she was unreasonable to feel entitled to privacy in her own garden, and people in the comments shared their creative ways of stopping the child once and for all.
One user suggested: "Start doing some watering in that area."
"I'd be having loud, sweary, inappropriate conversations or playing explicit music." Another person added.
A third person proposed being honest with the youngster: "Open the gate and tell her to stop being nosy and go home. A six-year-old will be embarrassed and frightened of being told off again, so she won't do it again."
