People and their kids like to come over unannounced, and without permission, to look at my ducks like it’s the fuckin zoo or some shit.

Need some humor for this situation to ease my frustration

    My biggest thing is people getting hurt on my property. Also, I have boundaries and don’t want to be surprised by people just hanging out, especially because I have a super anxious dog.

      That’s fair. Sounds like a very reasonable way to explain it to the kids’ parents, too, if you get the occasion.

        I did that last night to the one person. She was cool about it. Like, I’m cool with them coming over to look at the birds, but I want warning first.

          If you’re cool with the parents, maybe set up visitation hours? Come up with a time that works for you and them, and then just make sure they know to give you a heads up before they make use of the predetermined time?
