[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- helicopter parents, calm down. I asked aftercare provider if I did something wrong and what the rules of engagement were and if it was against the rules to engage with friends of my kids. I am not going to explain every detail of the situation. Aftercare provider is very professional. I don’t want to be friends with other parent, but find her rude, given the circumstances, i. e. Kids have bern friends for a few years now. My post was asking if I am not supposed to talk to other kids at aftercare. I was not asking for your opinion if you think I am nice or not. I know I am nice to those kids and all of my kids’ friends. I did nothing wrong, but I know that many parents are sensitive if the parent of their friend will talk to them, unless it is telling them how wonderful they are or if do small talk.[/quote]

You can’t separate the appropriateness of engaging with other kids from the substance of the engagement. Small talk and compliments are completely fine.  Scolding (or correcting, or disciplining) another person’s kid is not. [/quote]
