Neighbor child obsessed with my daughter?

Yep, let it be. The neighbor girl probably doesn't have the best home life. If she did, she would want to be there.

To me, you are under-reacting here! This would drive me batty. Also, if it helps, friendships at this age are tenuous. Kids are growing and changing so quickly that best friends come and go. That might be part of the solution, because if your daughter starts talking about a new friend, jump on this! Invite her over and encourage the new friendship.

On the rest, you are letting yourself be terrorized by a child and her clueless parents. So yeah, time for boundaries. One thing, though. Are you assuming the parents are aware she's harassing you over the phone? If they're aware of this, it's kind of mindblowing they'd let it continue. But one boundary you'd set, if the parents aren't getting it, is that you won't respond to her calls or texts.

Then just try to explain that you want to encourage the friendship (white lie), but it's become overbearing. If you'd rather they spend one night together a month, just say so. You don't owe them excuses or justifications for this, because it's none of their business.

But if this fails and their child assumes a car parked in the driveway means she gets to be at your home, I guess you're going to have to deal with the child and not the parents. Tell her your daughter can't play right now and close the door.

1) Make plans with your daughter that take you away from home during the weekend.

2) Tell your daughter that her friend can't spend every weekend at your house or sleep over every weekend.

3) Plan family time on weekends -- a game night, a movie night, a bowling night, whatever -- that is limited to family.

But friendships are an important part of developing social skills for kids. If you aren't willing to let your daughter go to her friend's house, then you should be prepared to host her at your house where you can provide the necessary supervision. Just make the kitchen off-limits or tell your daughter which foods are okay to snack on.

Sounds like it's time to talk to the other girl's parents and discuss some boundaries, then convey the information to the girls with the adage that it's not negotiable. If the other girl's parents don't want to restrict their daughter, you might just have to enforce new rules on your home alone. That means you can say yes or no to anything about your girl and the other one won't be allowed to fight you about it.

No, I would talk to the parents like she can spend the night every other weekend but not the whole weekend.

And throw out the soda akd dont let them waste food. They eat breakfast, lunch and dinner, that's it.

And when she checks for your daughters arrival you tell that little girl that your kid will call her or comeback tomorrow.

You got serrrious boundary issues!!! Big time! Be assertive. It's not aggressive.

no you are not being rude, any child in your house is expected to follow the same rules as your kids. tell her the kitchen is out of bounds and she is not to take food. when her parents txt saying she is spending the night after you have told her no, just tell them no. be a stronger parent and stop letting the kid walk all over you

Idk man k man
