My 13 yo dd wanted to go to a neighborhood swimming pool - not our neighborhood, but the next one over - with a friend who I know a bit - a girl - and some boys who I don't know with no adults supervising. DH and I said no. We have a pool at our house. I said she could have the girl here - and she said the girl could not come - I doubt that - I think she just wanted to go with them. So, of course, we are the meanest parents in the world. Not to mention that dh is about to go to the prayer meeting and I have to get the younger two kids to bed so I can't go watch them myself.
But, praise the Lord, a neighbor called whose dd is asleep and she needs a babysitter until her dh gets home - which will be in about a half an hour she said, so my dd has the opportunity to earn money, which is a big thing because she desperately is desiring a new cell phone - so she went and I hope it softens the blow of not being allowed to go swimming.
