[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand the posters who are feeling sorry for this girl.  This is exactly what we did as kids.  We went outside and then went to see if the neighbors could play.  It wasn't parents sending us over it was just us looking for playmates.  OP, you should be more clear.  If you say it's snacktime, then of course she will wait until after snacktime.  Tell her "not today, but you can come back on thursday."  If she cries, call her parents.[/quote]

When we were kids, we all left out houses and played.  Some kids couldn't come out.  Others could.  Some kids go into fights, others played well.   It was called autonomy and social interaction and it is very much needed in our kids these days, and parents are just WAAAAY overprotective and over-involved in their kid's lives.  It is very scary to see threads like this and people saying to call services or text the parents?  Get the F out of here.  [/quote]

When Mommy and Daddy pay for a million activities, the kids are not around to just play.  They are in adult-led activities with paid-for-friends. [/quote]
