[quote=Anonymous]My child regularly (like 5 days a week) has at least one, often two or three, neighborhood kids come over to play, ages 7-11. Our house/yard is the place they want to be, fine with me, mostly. Problem is, the kids look at me like I have grown two heads when I tell them the weather is nice they have to play outside. Tons for them to do outside in the front yard, back yard, other yards, in the road, toys, bikes, scooters, ditches, dirt, frogs, trees, mud... I am very clear and stern if pushed about it. Sometimes I’ll tell them they can play inside for a set amount of time before everyone leaves. These kids all live within about 12 houses of each other in an older style neighborhood on a very large cul-de-sac. How does it work if your house/kid is home base for the neighborhood? What do you expect from your neighbor if your kid is going over there? [/quote]
