Do you actually have a relationship other than dropping off and picking up or are you oblivious to where your kids go?
What is the craziest thing your child's friend's parent has done??
Leave them at your house for days or just never seeming to care about their child?
Curious b/c I know there must be some good tales out there . . .

My youngest son has a friend whose parents are a bit off in my opinion. They will leave their kid at my house for days and never call, never pick him up, expect me to take him to soccer games etc. Needless to say, that friend doesn't spend the night much anymore. They never ask for my son to stay the night (not as is I'd let him anyway), they let their kid call to see if he can spend the night at my house. Which is extremely rude in my opinion. I don't mind going to get him, as long as they pick him up, or vice versa. But they don't do either. I feel bad for the kid, he's a nice kid, he gets along great with my kids, he's polite and respectful when here, and I never have a problem with him. I just have issues with his parents. There are other "weird" things they do but I think that's sufficient.

I have 3 kids.I make a habit of getting to know the parent first and then letting my child stay over to play.Once my daughter wanted to go to a friends house to play (shes 9)but i didn't know the parents so i told her to bring her friend home and she did.We picked her friend up from her house and brought her home and they went in my daughters room to play and closed the door.After a while i couldn't hear any noise coming from my daughters room so i went to check.They were playing a game that her friend forced her to play.HER FRIEND WAS A LESBIAN.Don't get me wrong i have nothing against lesbians but i know my daughter and she is not one.She is always having a crush on this boy or that.When i told her friends mother what i saw in my daughters bedroom she told me that she already knew.I told her off for not telling me when i picked up her daughter and that she was never to play with mine again.If my daughter want to be a lesbian i think she should make up her one mind and not be forced into a decision like that at the age of 9 from another friend.

Some parents around where I live are totally crazy. I dont know how the heck they get to keep their kids without social services knocking at their door.
I don't let my daughter play in their houses. If they want to come play at mine that is fine. I don't smoke in my home, cigarettes or drugs. I don't trust their fathers either but that just might be some underlying issue I have.
I like to try and protect my daughter from going to some crack heads house
I dont know about you but no every home around here are as happy go lucky as we all might think.

My mom doesn't meet my friends parents. None of them. She's only ever met my boyfriend's mom once or twice and she doesn't really ever meet my friends parents.

I know all my children's friends parents and I don't have a problem objecting and saying no if I don't feel comfortable about a friend or his/her parents.

I don't even know who my kids friends are, much less their friends parents. But then, my kids are adults.
