One woman finds herself in a difficult situation after discovering that it is hard to spend time alone in the garden without being disturbed. Read the story and let us know how you would handle the situation.

I want to see if I’m just being cynical or whether people would too get annoyed by this.
Moved to a new house last year, and have just had my first child. Neighbours were very friendly, and are all older than us (we’re 30s – they’re all late 40s – 60s.
We are renovating currently but obviously delayed due to baby’s arrival. And with this in mind we also don’t have much surplus cash at the moment as I am on Mat leave.
To set the scene: The garden fences are currently pretty low so you can see across everyone’s gardens.
When I am out in the garden the neighbours call across to me. And it drives me mad. They’re lovely people and very friendly – but it’s my private garden and I am out there with my baby. Not for a neighbourhood chat. If I wanted to chat I’d stand at the front of the house.
It’s not just one neighbour either – they all do it! I find it so intrusive! I just wouldn’t dream of doing it to someone else. I even had it the other day where I didn’t answer and they kept shouting “can you hear me?”.
We are just planning to get the fences re done so we have more privacy – but obviously this takes time and money.
Am I Being Unreasonable to think that it’s annoying and seriously lacks boundaries?
It’s so difficult as I don’t want to say something and then create some awkward tension.
Anyone else had a scenario like this?
