[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is obvious to me as a parent. However, every time I try to let my older elementary school kids play independently another parent or older adult in our neighborhood says something negative about it. Stop the threat of CPS if a parent takes their eyes off their perfectly old enough children and then their mental health will improve.[/quote] I think one of the problems is that children today are almost feral in terms of their behavior. They have a sense of entitlement that just didn’t exist 40 years ago. I’m fine with kids playing independently if they aren’t annoying anyone but if kids are running wild in the neighborhood and they are being annoying with no parents around then yes I have a problem with it.[/quote] Or… maybe get a life and stop being annoyed at kids for being kids? You sound like a villain from a Disney movie![/quote]
