[quote=Anonymous]I was glad to have kids in a neighborhood that has mostly older adults. I prefer setting up play dates. One of our neighbors had an older kid and parents both worked long hours. I stayed home when kids were young. This mom would send her kid over at all hours. It was kind of annoying. We wouldn’t answer in evening if during bath or bedtime, and she’d just play on our swings etc in the yard, alone. I often felt sorry for her, and would let her join our family activities, she had no siblings and I had three kids. We would all make dinner together, do laundry together, play in the yard together, read together. I think she enjoyed the family atmosphere. She acted pretty different with her parents and wouldn’t help with any chores at all for them. I felt certain her mom was using me for child care. And she probably didn’t feel great about it.
