[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old? To me it sounds like the problem is you needing to feel like you are on.[/quote] DP - I agree with this take. It sounds like you are trying to do this, but I think reframing is important. You don't need to be "on" or really do much monitoring. If they go somewhere else, it's their responsibility to tell their parents, not yours. Most parents have some sort of location tracker these days and can easily figure out where their kid is. You don't need to make sure they are all happy, and if you don't have snacks, so be it. They can walk to 7-11 or whatever and get some. I know it can be a pain -- my DH feels similarly to you -- but being the hangout house can be a good thing. It helps you get to know your kid's friends and kind of keep better tabs on what your kid is up to. [/quote]
