[quote=Anonymous]This thread makes me sad. We lived in a neighborhood where kids ran freely, rang doorbells, and played hours after school and on the weekends. I didn’t have to schedule play dates, my kids got life lessons in following different household rules, and we saw value in playing with a variety of different ages. We kept a pantry full of snacks or would send home when it was dinnertime. Sometimes my kids would go find friends and they weren’t available or mom said no - it was no biggie, and they’d meet up the next day. Sometimes they’d have a friend over for lunch, sometimes the child didn’t care for what we were serving so I’d send him home to eat. It was all so low-key and I never felt taken advantage of. It was a village.[/quote]
