[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would go about it like this - "So fun that DS has a little friend. I would love to meet him and his parents to thank them for having him over. Which one is his house and/or do you have their phone num so I can text them? I want to deliver cookies to them this weekend." [/quote] NP - Totally disagree with this approach. It does nothing to explain to Mom that it's not ok to leave Aidan at the houses of people that none of you know. You can still couch it all in a "So great that DS has a friend" language, but at some point OP has to - however delicately - explain to her mom that things are different these days and Aidan can't be left at the home of a friend that you or your DH don't know and haven't approved of. That is the bottom line, and the approach above skirts that issue completely. If OP takes the above approach, nothing has been said to Mom to not then leave Aidan at the next stanger's house.[/quote]
