I live in a nieghborhood where the parents do not give their children space. I strongly believe that my children (7&9-they are only allowed outside without supervision ifthey are both outside ) can play outside without supervision and they are old enough to understand boundaries, make right choices, handle conflicts or know when to tell a parent. Three neighbors disagree, when the children move, they move they are almost attached to their children.I want my kinds to grow up to be independant and not have to rely on people for everything. I am an allergy sufferer so I do not spend much time outside, I check on them from time to time. The mothers informed me I need to supervise my children if they are to play with theirs, I do not think I should have to changes my values. One of the mothers even called the school twice to say my kids are unsupervised, my husband had to meet with the principal and youth officer who agreed it was an issue of values. Moving is not a choice, what to do?
