Do your kids play with other kids in your neighborhood?

My kids do play with some other kids from down the street, but just those two... I am very reluctant to let my kids wander much in our neighborhood.

I grew up in a much smaller town, and we knew everyone. I recall going out in the morning, and not coming home until dark, and my parents didn't really care.

Our neighborhood is connected to others and there are so many people I don't know and so many people going thru and going in and out that I would be worried about them constantly if we just let them run free like we did when we were little.

It's a shame really.

Same here, things have changed since I was a kid.

kids are always playing together in my neighborhood. mine isn't old enough yet.

the wife caught a pack of kids hanging around our cars yesterday too. not sure what they were up to if anything.

Oh nothing bad, I'm sure. Probably checking out your sound system for future reference :D

We always had the yard where the kiddies would hang out. I still see and get visits from my kids friends (now in their 20's) and I enjoy that.

Our joke is that we had such a large grocery bill in the summer because we were "feeding the neighborhood" :lol:

My younger batch are 3 boys and our neighborhood has had about 8 kids born in the same age group. This time, they better play somewhere else....

I did that too. I'm sure things have changed but I also think that 24/7 news has made us more fearful then we should be and that our parents might have been a bit more naive.

i remember the days of running around with kids in the neighborhood... hell, once i was in middle school, we would venture out pretty far to surrounding neighborhoods to hang out with other people from school... i'm not sure if my parents were naive to the fact that something could happen, they just trusted that i could take care of myself

now (which sadly, is only about 15 years later), there are hardly any kids running around our current neighborhood except for a group of about five thugs who run around acting like they own the joint. they tear poo up and have cost our HOA a pretty penny cleaning up after them. no point in even going to the neighborhood pool if you see their bikes out front

i'm sure most of the other parents in the neighborhood don't want their kids out and about in fear that they'll have a run in with this little 'gang.' it's sad, really...

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
