[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The kid is 9 for goodness sake, that's an obvious dig about her not being invited. [/quote] No, it's a pragmatic explanation. It is not the cultural norm to leave a 9YO at home alone for hours. Someone needs to be with her. A parent is a logical choice. [/quote] I don't know many 9-year-olds who can't easily be left with a sitter or a friend's family for an evening, but I know not everyone is comfortable with that or maybe they don't have the money or the child has special needs, and as the neighbor I would to be respectful of their not wanting to leave their child for even a few hours. But if these same parents are going to go out next Saturday and leave the 9-year-old with grandma or the teenager around the corner, I think this is a very passive aggressive response. Totally their prerogative, but they should know that their statement will be heard loud and clear. [/quote]
