[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You honestly can’t control all of it and you don’t know what kind of personality your kids will have but I agree I would definitely not get a pool because that is a lot of responsibility and work.

But when my kids hang out it’s because the household is relaxed the kids have things they want to do including indoor and outdoor things and always a lot of good snacks

Also I get to know the kids and I’m nice with them and they also seem to like my dogs

But also I leave them alone to do their own thing and I don’t micromanage[/quote]

This.  My house was the hangout house growing up. My parents were relaxed and in the background but not talking to us much.  We didn’t have great snacks or cable or video games or a fun yard. I’m 38 now and it was unusual not to have those things then. But it was an easy, comfortable place to be. No breakables, no rooms off limits.

My friends were kinda nerdy, though. My sister and brother hung out at more fun houses, I think.[/quote]
