[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 199948, member: 3419"] It does sound like T is a better bet. It helps to be able to rotate playdates so one parent doesn't get worn out. Once they get to a certain age (for us, just in the past 2 yrs) the kids are very good on their own, actually call home to tell you where they are, and you don't have to worry about them so much. (In general. I never say "never" or "always." :) ) My difficult child is a leader. Actually, he's a loner but because he's older, the other kids follow him ... funny how that worked out ... He couldn't care less what he's got on most of the time,whether it smells, you get the idea. He has taken a great interest in his hair (he grows it out into an afro until I take him to get it cut) but we still have to get his to actually wash under his armpits b4 he puts on deodorant. Anyway, he hangs out with-the wild kids, and when he was younger, I told him a little fib, that we could only afford to have 2 guests at his birthday party, just so he'd pare down the choices. One time I took him and two of his wild friends to the grocery store and I came home with-half the groceries and a migraine! One yr I was an idiot and we did a birthday sleepover at the Wolf Lodge with-8 boys and ... well ... let's say we survived. :) That's really neat that you've gotten to know at least one set of parents. Any idea why the other parents are clueless? [/QUOTE]
