[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't tell from your example.

[b]My kid clears his plans with me. [/b]

If it was something as simple as an afternoon visit to the mall, and the parents are asking you to be more than a driver, they are out of line.  Your roll: say you will drive, expect them not to leave the mall, and have them show up when and where they should be for pickup.

I do not choose my kid's friends beyond making sure some family events include kids.

Exactly.  OP here.  But you do not orchestrate from start to finish, including contacting other parents with the invite, right?  You clear the plans with your kid, make sure all the other parents are in on what is happening, meet the parent who is hosting a party, but not finger pointing when your kid doesn't do what you expect of him - it is not on the other parent for your kid to abide by your rules, right?[/quote]

I do not orchestrate and I do not know all of his friends. There was a kid here from 3-10 last night (a whole bunch we here). Not even sure of his name.  You have too many pronouns. In my house, my rules.  Out and about, I expect my kid to follow my rules.  N someone else's house? I expect good behavior, and adherence to their rules.  My son doesn't travel in a fast crowd, but even so, I can't imagine any circumstances when one of their parents would be berating me.  However, if I found out my son was complicit in lying to someone else's parent, he'd have a lot to answer for with me.[/quote]
