How do I stop neighbours kids coming into our house?

My wife is at home during the day and when she comes back from the school our neighbours send in their little 3 year old to our hours. The neighbours next door are an army corporal and school teacher. The mother works all day and the father stays at home. The other day let his 3 year old daughter into our house when our baby was sick. This was so he could do his ironing! Is this a bit thoughtless? What should we do?

1. youre all adults...talk to him and tell him what is happening...stop fucking whining and solve simple problems like these yourselves...grow some fucking balls
2. tell him to stop leaving his kids at your home unless he at least checks with you first. and if you tell him this and it continues to happen, tell the kid to get out. its not your fault that he doesn't want to watch his child. she is not your responsibility. if you are not being paid to be a daycare, then don't be a daycare.
3. Say to him that you arent a babysitting service, but that you dont mind her coming over sometime, just not everyday because you need your time to be with your own children. Or start sending your kids over everyday see how he likes it.
4. tell them so. Be nice about it of course though, you don't want to cut your ties with your neighbors. But tell them that you would really apreciate if they asked first just to make sure it was not at an inconvenient time.. and at 3 years old it kind of seems like they see you as a free baby sitter. . . Dont take it or else they will expect it to be ok every time. You have to set it straight early so there will be more understanding. good luck.
5. Give them some excuses to keep them away but won't hurt the friendship. Something like... my baby is sick, and it might be contagious.
6. Lock the door
7. Maybe you could say that your busy at the moment. Maybe some other time?
8. They trust you don't they. On the positive side, you could assume that if you need them to help you out one day you might be able to call on them for a favour too!
