A parent actually asked me why I needed it and I had to explain that if anything happened I could get someone to come get the child. Then last week my oldest had her first Halloween sleep over this year. When she asked if she could go and told me what the plans were, I called the mom where the girls were going to stay. We're friends, but I would have called anyway. Wanted to make sure she knew about the sleepover plans and was good with it. She was, but I was the ONLY mom that called to check things out. That was unbelievable. The other moms just let their girls go and assumed all was well.Marshellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935964953998336489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1617253087395608203.post-11878544154078878692009-10-27T21:21:28.960-04:002009-10-27T21:21:28.960-04:00I have wondered this exact same thing.

Turned-out we really connected. And all the other parents just dropped their children off. <br /><br />Even as a teen, not dropping our child if we don't know the adults. Guess we are in the minority.

Luckily, I have friends that "get it", too, and we usually walk out with something blue. You are a true friend for seeing her and not making her ask for the red sucker or leave pre-meltdown.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02964991488139631856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1617253087395608203.post-54233964283919368412009-10-23T11:26:44.192-04:002009-10-23T11:26:44.192-04:00I agree with Niksmom and Piscesgirl.
