[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh, I’ve had friends like this.  But, the differences in parenting created problems.

I have many Indian friends. The ones who are American born are more similar to me, and the ones who are immigrants are different culturally.  Overall, both groups are cautious and don’t like their kids to be away on play dates/sleepovers unless they REALLY REALLY trust you. [/quote]

Isn’t it insane though? These are not little kids. 10 years old.   Wth?[/quote]

They just simply don’t trust anyone who isn’t in their family or a close personal friend. That didn’t work for me, so I encouraged my DD to make new friends. [/quote]

And, that's fine.[b]  I want to know someone[/b] and visit their house before I hand over my child.  Its not just immigrant groups, I'm not.

The cars are a huge issue for me as mine and a lot of other kids I see should be in booster seats as they don't fit in the seats well in most (some are ok) cars.  If you don't have the common sense to keep your 6-10+ year old in a booster and don't use one for mine, you are not driving my child.  I'll meet you or your kids can come with us. Other issue is supervision.  A lot of parents invite friends over and ignore the kids. I don't know your home, set up or parenting. [/quote]

You’re misunderstanding....we ARE talking about friends. Not strangers or acquaintances. It’s tricky and frustrating when a friend won’t let their child go to a friend’s house.  It eventually kills sweet friendships. [/quote]

They don't sound like that great friends.  We don't let ours go to some peoples homes.  It really depends on the parents.[/quote]
