[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Open the front door and say go out. See you in four hours. They will find friends in the neighborhood. My mother never found me a friend. The neighborhood was full of kids and they played outside. I know today’s hermit generation is reluctant to venture outside. Half of it has been caused by helicopter parents who monitor the kids every movement and activity.[/quote] Completely agree! I'm so glad someone else said it.[/quote] WTF? 14 and 16 year olds are not "playing in the neighborhood." They are working, going to the gym, participating in summer swim team or other summer leagues for their sports, volunteering as CITs at camps, taking driver's ed, babysitting, taking a summer class and hanging out with friends that they already know from high school or extra curricular activities.
