[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You guys are very trusting. No way I’m leaving my kids with classmates like that at age 4,5,6, or 7. Unfortunately, I’ve heard too many stories and dealt with peer to peer abuse myself as a child. [/quote] And that is fine, your kid, your rules. Please bring a book if your kid is coming to my house because I am going to be taking care of my to do list while the kids are playing. My DS has told me that there are kids he doesn’t want to have over, so we don’t have them over. I trust that he is going to friends houses who he has fun with and he wants to be around. I know that he has come to me when he has told a kid to stop doing something and the kid has not stopped. He has told me when kids at camp have threatened to hurt him (once) or said things that were mean (a few times). He knows that I will follow through with anything that is bad (called the counselors after he told me that a kid at camp threatened to stab him and pulled him when I was dissatisfied with the camps response) and that I will help him discuss how to handle a kid who is annoying him. So I trust that he will get an adult or tell me if something goes wrong on a play date. The group of kids he wants to play with is pretty small right now and I know all the parents and the kids. I am comfortable leaving him at their houses and they are comfortable with the reverse. [/quote] It’s not your sons job to be the parent. It is your job. Hard no to your house as you probably only believe your kid. You are too lazy to care where you send him. Sad for him. [/quote]
