My husband and I moved into our great home over a year ago with our toddler son. One of our nextdoor neighbor's is a family with a middle aged mentally handicapped lady. She has on multiple occaisions come over, usually when i'm at work, to talk, or even ask to use a clothes dryer. She doesn't get the hint that if you open the screen door and stand guard, it means to not come in. She kinda 'barrels' her way thru. On top of this, we have a chain-link fenced in backyard that we enjoy spending time in. Again, when my husband is home alone or with our son, (rarely when i'm around) she will come out within minutes of them being outside and unwelcomingly start talking (loudly and whatnot, remember the 'handicap'). Sometimes she even cuts thru the backyard to hang clothes on the opposite neighbor's line, or even when we're having family time, she'll come over thru our gate to hang out. She won't get the hint we just want to be "Hi and Bye" neighbors and to leave us to our privacy. What to do?
