[quote=Anonymous]I know most of the parents of my kid's friends. If I don't know the parents I at least know the friends. My kids are in 9th and 2nd grades. I volunteer at both schools and both of my kids are in extra curricular activities and sports. I am not friends with all of the parents, but I know them and at least have had a conversation or two with them before I allow my kid to run off to their house or even hang out with their kid alone (in the case of my 9th grader). My 2nd grader is having a friend sleep over tonight... the friend's mother and I have both volunteered at the school and text each other regularly. My child has been having a weekly play date at the friend's house for the past 2 months. My 9th grader is going out for pizza with a group after track practice today. There are 6 kids going. I know both of the parents that are driving (and have their cell phone #'s) and I know what pizza shop they are going to and what time to expect my child home.

In my house it is a requirement that I know these types of details before I will give permission for my kids to hang out with their friends. They know the rules and follow them because that is what is required.[/quote]
