[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our neighbors have a flag they hang out when people are welcome to come uninvited.

I actually dread the flag going out. I don't trust them to watch my kids and I don't really want to hang out at their house.

Oh well, I smile and act thankful - I bring a case of water. [/quote]

Are you forced to go over? Don't go.  I doubt they'll ask. If they do, you can always say you had something to do at home.[/quote]

I wish, my H works the emergency room. Drowning kids, up to age 12, we have an agreement. We are always with the kids while they are swimming if there is no trained life guard.[/quote]

Why would you agree to provide this service if you don't want to or are inconvenienced by it? If they want to put out the flag and invite the neighborhood, that's great but it's up to them to chaperone, not your DH. I stick to the same response as above -- they can't force you to come over; if you want to go some days, great. If not, oh well -- you can tell them you had things to do in your own home, were out, didn't see the flag, etc.[/quote]
