[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 447233, member: 11791"] What's different about that? Really, that's how I grew up - in a predominantly white, blue-collar working-man neighborhood. In the summer, we left the house after breakfast and didn't show up until lunch time. Kids ranged in age from 2 to about 14 (by 15, they were doing "cooler" things like working) We all looked out for each other. Parents were not necessary. Even on school days - we often left after supper and showed up when parents started opening front doors looking for kids (10pm or so). They knew where we were - they could hear us. The whole neighborhood could. It was just an unwritten rule that things needed to settle down by 10 if there was school tomorrow, 11 otherwise. It sounds like it isn't just Morocco... that Spain is similar, too. I'm wondering if part of why Spain went well, was that YOU were more relaxed too... and if part of that was not being "alone" - sounds like family there and you get along great, and so you could relax and let other eyes and ears help.
