[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 371774, member: 1991"] Two possible outcomes: 1) The little girls get their bottoms tanned for throwing stuff at cars. 2) The parents are outraged that someone would invade their privacy and make wild accusations about something trivial the girls were doing for harmless fun. I remember when one of my sisters was staying with us, after she'd had another baby. Her older son was a difficult child toddler who needed close watching. My sister just let him do what he anted, pretty much. One day nephew was playing with the telephone, picking up the receiver and dialing random digits. Only dialed a couple of digits, it was the days of dial phones and not pushbutton. But I intercepted the telephone exchange calling back to say, "Stop that kid playing with the phone!" I went to tell my sister and my mother and was accused of making up lies. My sister left her son to keep playing with the phone, but I was not allowed to leave him alone. I as expected to stay and mind him, but let him keep playing with the phone. That's when I had to get really inventive and find something that attracted nephew more, than the really wonderful toy the phone was. I was really angry with both my sister and my mother, for being so complacent and also not believing me. But sometimes that happens when certain adults get together - they each tend to leave the vigilance to someone else and collectively absolve themselves form responsibility. Marg [/QUOTE]
