kids' freedom to come and go
[email protected]
<< As soon as she turned 18, she quit asking permission and just
started announcing that she was going to do something or go somewhere. >>
<<Hmmmmm...my kids have already made THAT transition!!!! >>
Kirby and Marty are making that transition a little early for me, but they
are very honest and responsible, and I remind them that they might want to
ask to make sure I wasn't planning something different. They usually do ask.
Or they will ask early in the day if there's anything they need to be doing
for the rest of the day, and base their decisions on that.
I have all their friends' names, phone numbers, cell phone numbers, and
sometimes their moms' work numbers and e-mail addresses! The network can
find them if they're quickly needed. <g>
