We have galvanised fencing seperating us, from the people who live behind us (all other fencing is 6ft wood pailings. These neighbours have 4 girls. They are big meanies.

DD (3) loves them, as soon as she realises that they're there, she'll race out the back to try and play with them.

One day I was watching her, she stole some cooking chocolate out of the fridge (hehehe) and took it to the fence to share with them. One of the older ones took her chocolate, went and sat on the trampoline, ate her chocolate, then returned the packet 10 minutes later Next time we went shopping, I put some cooking chocolate in the trolley, and she told my mum, "grandma, this is MY chocolate, and I'm NOT sharing with you!" She obviously remembered what the girl had done..

Yesterday she saw them all playing, she raced out the back. They quickly went up into their cubby house and sat there glaring at her. I felt so sad for her. They then proceeded to get lawn clippings and throw them at her .... Seriously... my heart broke.. She is so little, she didn't even understand that they were being mean.

DH was straight into her when he found out, "next time they throw anything at you, pick up a rock and throw it at them" haha. Such great parenting there hubby! She didn't understand why she would throw a rock (thank god), but deep down... I would love for her to just slog them one right in the nose.

We're thinking about building a big F off fence. 6ft fence pailings again, but double, so there is no gap, so she can't see them, and they can't see her. Is this the right thing to do?? I'm so worried about her beautiful little spirit, she is SO SO friendly, happy, outgoing - I don't want her to recluse..

The girls parents are total tossers too btw. The daughters obviously get their incredible social skills from them. When DH mows the lawn, EVERY time, the guy pulls out his motorbikes and sits there reving the engines glaring at us... Such weird people... But thats another story...

Please give me your thoughts or advice..
