[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, water cooler is a good idea. How much responsibility should I take to make sure the kids get home at a certain time. They will tell me, "My dad told me to tell you I have to be home at 6." Generally I'll announce it is 5:30 or 5:45. Sometimes the parents will text or call to tell me a time for their kid to be home. I’ll say they are outside somewhere; best bet is for you to yell for him/her. My view is if the kids are playing all over the place outside it is [i]Lord of the Flies[/i] and I'm not assuming caretaker responsibility for them.[/quote] If they're actually playing at my house I'll pop my head out and make a general announcement that its 5:30 so everyone needs to start heading home for dinner. If they're all just out in the cul-de-sac or bouncing from backyard to backyard just playing I'll yell for my child when its time to come in and I expect other parents to be responsible for their own children.[/quote]
