[blparent] children

[Veronica Smith]

This girl that came over last night has seen me in school activities but
never in my own environment.  So I am glad she came as she saw me enjoying
dinner with family and friends, witnessed me getting ready for bed like
everyone else, setting the table and helping make breakfast, and she was
part of our play and walking the dog to and from the park.   I always enjoy
teaching by observation.

Hi,
I wasn't sure at first how other parents would react to their children
staying over at our house.  I have been pleasantly surprised that so far my
son John's (13)  friends enjoy coming over and their parents are fine with
it.  We have had a bit of problems with John's behavior, so he is currently
grounded from company.  Otherwise there was at least one kid from the
neighborhood over every afternoon.  I am glad that I haven't met any concern
yet, at least none that was voiced to me and my husband regarding our sight.

Jill

So Gab had a sleep over last night, This only being the second time someone
has spent the night.  The reason being, mom (me) is not very comfortable
with others spending the night.
It happened so quickly, we went out to dinner and as we were almost back to
taking Gab's friend home, she asked if her friend could spend the  night.  I
didn't know what to say with the little girl sitting right there.  Gab has
spent the night at her house more than once so I felt obligated to say yes.
So we picked her friends stuff and came home.  I told the gitrls they had to
be in bed by 11:00 and they were.
I guess all that worrying was for nothing as Gab and her friend have been
having the time of their lives.
My husband and I got up this morning and made them a good breakfast, crepes,
sausage, orange juice and put out lots of fresh fruit to fill those crepes.
Yeah, I survived.
