[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole thread is so strange. Sometimes kids knock or walk over wanting to play. If my kids want to play and we’re not busy, they play outside. If we are busy, my kid says, “Sorry, we are busy.” and other kid goes home. Or, “I can play for 30 minutes.”

Why would there be any expectation that the kid is joining your outing for the day? [/quote]

+1.

I would actually think it was kind of odd if my kid rode her bike over to play for a little bit, and you took her to the pool for the rest of the afternoon.

Yes.  I will foist my kid off on a bike ride for an hour, but I expect her to come back.   I don’t really expect other parents to be driving away with her to some other place.  [/quote]
+2. And for an adult to be driving away the child or taking them somewhere without telling parents that would be kidnapping! [/quote]

LOL, tell it to the officer. You sent your kid down unsupervised with no communication. “Can Carla play?” She sure can, we’re going to our cousins’ house and we’ve got an extra carseat. Shrug. If you gave a damn where your kid was or who they were with or what you’d be doing, you’d communicate with the other parent. If your child asks to call and make sure it’s OK first, oh sure here’s my phone. Don’t want your child going places and doing things with my family? Don’t send her down to my house without connecting with me.[/quote]

You are insane, only have a toddler, or are trolling. My 10yo son goes out on his bike and knocks on friends doors and meets up with kids in the park. You think I should be texting all the parents in the neighborhood to see if their sons want to play?! No. My son is allowed to bike around the neighborhood by himself but I would certainly not be happy if another parent took him somewhere without texting me first! [/quote]

Welp, I guess you don’t know what the other parent thinks is acceptable or OK for kids your age unless you…text or call and get on the same page! Knock knock can Janie play? Sure, we’re going to the pool. And we’re having ice cream while we’re there…

I guess if you want to know where your kid is and what they’re doing you should communicate with parents before you send kids around to be supervised by other people. [/quote]

Oh my god, lady. You are nuts. No one is "sending their kids around to be supervised by other people." My kid is allowed to ride her bike around the neighborhood. She is allowed to be unsupervised by adults. If she knocks on a friend's door, I am not expecting another parent to supervise. I am expecting that the other kid will also get a bike and they will ride around the neighborhood together and go do kid things. We are not talking about preschoolers here.[/quote]

Oh so you are specifying that the only thing your daughter is allowed to do is to knock on the door and invite for a bike ride, and that's the only thing they are allowed to do? Because guess what, your child is really asking if Larla can play. And guess what now they're in my kitchen asking if they can do an art project...or now they're asking my husband if they can set up the sprinkler...and now they're asking if they can do a million other things that do require some level of supervision. And your daughter doesn't stick around to clean up, by the way. Just so you know what's actually happening when your kid is out "riding bikes."[/quote]

No art projects. Last time you left a mess for me to clean up. It's beautiful weather, go play outside.

Is that so hard? [/quote]
