[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have friends, our kids are the same age and we have known each other since they were babies.

The family is Indian and they spend most if their weekends exchanging social obligations with their Indian relatives and friends and attending weddings and engagement parties or hosting guests.  So we haven’t seen much of each other. We always go to each other’s kids birthday parties and have a play date here and there.

since last year our kids are in the same school, the same class and they do the same sport after school.  The kids are bffs.

I have offered to take her kid to the sport after school but she never agrees.  She would rather have her kid skip practice than allow me to drive her there.  She won’t let me drive her kid a block to her house even when she’s very busy.  She never allows her kid to come for a sleepover or play date alone.

Today our kids were going to an activity and her DD was begging her in front if us to let her come to our house before the event and drive with us.  She said no.

She is OK about going together to public places like a zoo or museum.  She has taken my DD alone with them a couple of times but she never lets me do it.

I don’t understand this. Does it mean she doesn’t trust me as a driver? Does she not trust my family to take care of her daughter?[/quote]

Why does this have to be anything cultural. I'm american and I do not allow my children to be driven by others or to sleep over. That is our family decision and it has nothing to do with any other parent. There are a select few family members who we feel comfortable driving our children. Why do you feel entitled to an explanation or to drive her child anywhere?[/quote]

I agree. Another American here that does the same. I also prefer not driving or hosting other kids in my home without the parent. Too risky and I make no apologies. [/quote]

So what are going to do when your child gets older? When they’re in high school never let them go to friends house without you?[/quote]
