[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As long as they could go get it and use it if they need it. Especially if they need something private - like period stuff or are uncomfortable and would like to come home without making a big deal about it.

Also ringer on in case I need to get in touch or at minimum let me know the house rules so we can plan for kid to be temporarily inaccessible. Would need parents info jic. [/quote]

Just text the parent if you need to get in touch in an emergency. It's ok for the kid to be momentarily inaccessible and allowed to socialize without mom butting in with inane questions.[/quote]

Interesting. So you think it’s appropriate for the host mom to butt into private communications between a mother and her daughter.

That’s controlling and creepy.

No wonder you need to hold kids hostage and physically prevent them from asking their parents to pick them up early. [/quote]

I mean what did people ever do before cell phones? I’d go to my friends mom and say “can I call my mom?” Or “could you please ask my mom to come get me?” 
It took a little bit of courage if I didn’t know the mom well and that was a GOOD thing for me to have to practice in retrospect. It also meant if I kind of wanted to go home just because I was kind of bored, it didn’t meet the threshold of “I have to go ask her mom if I can leave early” so I’d buck up and try to be creative and have more fun. Also not a bad thing. [/quote]
