[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No I would not. They would not exercise the appropriate level of care or supervision. Not because they are bad parents or bad people but due to differing cultural expectations. Get to know the parents. Talk to the parents extensively about what it is like when they visit, what they do, who they see, how things are. You will figure out what I mean pretty quickly. [/quote] This is a strange statement. Why on earth would you make an assumption that their culture wouldn't call for appropriate care? Every West African parent I know is more restrictive/cautious than every American parent I know. Kids don't go on sleepovers with friends, have early curfews, only go out in groups, no dating in early HS, etc. Of course, I have no idea if this applies to these particular parents, but how strange it is for you to make the assumption that because they are from the gambia, they would not exercize supervision???[/quote]
