would you let your child play with neighborhood kids even though you dont get along with the parents?

Definitely. It would be juvenile not to. Besides, kids need to be taught forgiveness and tolerance (of even your idiot neighbors). Don't badmouth the other kids' parents in front of your child, and hope the other parents are mature enough to do the same.

I myself, I dont let my daughter play with anyone in my neighborhood since I dont know the parents of any child around the area and Im more concern about the outside kids could put an influence to my child. I let my child play at church and school where adults are around. If i meet the parents and got to know them and their lifestyle, it will depend if im comfortable enought to let my child around their child...

It would depend on why you do not get along. If the parents are criminals or have poor morals or standards, then I wouldn't want my child around those type of people. But if it's something petty like their dog goes to the bathroom in your yard sometimes, then it's not fair to your child to not let them choose who they are friends with and sets a bad example for the kids as well.

I would, the kids don't have anything to do with you and there parents not getting along.......... besides if there parents don't mind, then why should you? Kids are there own individuals and they should be able to be friends if they want to be, but if it really causes problems for you and the other parents, then I guess it is the kids that lose out.......... I hope you can resolve what you can for the kids to be able to keep there friendships together. Good luck...........

If I just did not like them much personally -- but the kids got along -- then yes, of course.
But if I did not feel comfortable with their values or their parenting, and I did not trust them with my child, then I would not leave my child under their supervision. Perhaps you could invite their kids to play at your house, where you can watch over them?
And if I did not like their children or how their children played with my child, then definitely no.

Yes!I mean just b/c you and the parents don't get along don't mean you should keep the kids from seeing or playing with each other.

Not that I don't get along with my neigbors we just have different parenting styles...she had her son at 15 I think and lives next to me with her mom. We aren't friends and I don't invite her to things I have at my house but yes our kids play together nearly everyday (they are both 5). They obviouslly have to be supervised so I prefer for them to play in our house or yard. He is the only kid near us and it wouldn't be fair to either child to keep them apart because I don't agree with all of his mom's parentling choices. As longs as I don't fear for my child when he is at their house why not?

Yes. The parents are not the children who want to play together. I would suggest supervision tho, to hopefully deter any arguments persuaded on them by the parents who don't get along.

Depends on the age of the child and exactly WHY I do not care for the parents!

hmm probably not, it would really depend on WHY you dont get along with the parents tho. if they dont discipline properly or arent good parents i cant imagine the kids would be good influences on your children
