[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My rules are you can play on sidewalks and in front yards but do not go into anyone's house or fenced back yard. Some people have questionable dogs and some parents I just don't trust. But I want my kids to get exercise and have unstructured play.
Some kids get very pushy asking for food and you have to learn to just say no. I wanted to have the hang-out house and now I'm realizing no, I don't want that because user parents will have no problem sending their kids over every day and even having you feed them lunch (and no, none of these people are poor.)[/quote]

I find it strange adults who can afford to feed kids, will not.  Give them a grilled cheese or something cheap.  [/quote]

Half of DCUM is terrified of being "taken advantage of" by having kids in their house or giving them food. It's weird.[/quote]

I don't feed other kids without knowing their specific allergies. I am not taking that risk. I follow the "Ok, go home for lunch/dinner etc." model. [/quote]
