[quote=Anonymous]I never left my kid in someone else's house because I just do not trust people until I knew them very well and had a very good opinion of their character, home environment and parenting skills.

Instead, I made my home kid-friendly with a huge space for kids to play and hang out. I served snacks and hot meals, I welcomed the parent with coffee and cookies,  I picked up the neighborhood kids from the bus-stop if their parents requested, and I made sure that the kids did their homework at my house.   I did all of this because I valued the socialization for my children.  My home remains the place that the friends of my kids congregate. Even now, that they are in college.

I know that many people used me for free baby-sitting but the dysfunction in the parents was also reflected in the behavior of the children.  Having the chance to observe the behavior of kids and the parents gave me a very good idea of who they were.  For me, the SES did not matter. Parents who were caring remained so regardless of their finances.  [/quote]
