Do you agree? Thoughts?

Honestly if it's like outrageous lack of boundaries I think it's wise especially if the out of control children are a bit older than your own kids because they could hurt your kids and that could be bad it's never really the kids fault but if they're in a house where behavior isn't adjusted then it's just not safe to be around them especially if your own kids are very young

We’ve tried to have our kids around others who aren’t patented well, but we never let them out of our sight. I would never allow them over at that persons house. As much as I want to give every kid a chance the problem is that it inevitably brings your child down 99% of the time to be around poorly behaved kids UNLESS that poorly behaved kid is coming over to your house and you can teach them what their parents aren’t but I still would never leave them alone together

Being a preschool teacher, I’ve seen the most well behaved kids turn into ones that make a lot of negative choices when surrounded by friends that do the same. It’s super unfortunate and hard because you can’t really choose their friends, but there’s a big difference when those other friends are gone and what a difference it makes in the normally well behaved child’s behavior (meaning when the ones that often make poor choices aren’t around, the other has a much better day). I likely wouldn’t let them go to their house but would probably let them play if I was around if it was my own child and I was able to step in

@Kaylie I’m a retired teacher and I noticed this too!

Depending on the child's behavior, I might go the opposite and invite them over to play. Even if the parents cojme too, I would probably parent them both saying "in our house we do this or don't do this". It's not the kid's fault the parent isn't doing their job. But it will 100% affect the kid if others aren't playing with them.

you are who you surround yourself with. i don’t keep myself around people who i don’t think act right, why would i allow my child to be around the same type?
