Have just moved onto an housing estate having never lived on one before so not sure if this is just how it is..
A couple of weeks ago we were all playing on private driveway, dd had just gotten a bike for her 3rd bday. A girl came along and started playing with dd and ds( 1yr ). After a while and seeing no sign of any adults I asked her where she lived and she pointed at a house a few doors up on opposite side of the road, I would guess that she is 7 or 8 maybe.
Anyway, she must have been with us an hour and half or so, no adult appeared during this time. she kept lifting ds despite me telling her not toas she could drop him on Tarmac etc, and followed dd into the house on more than one occasion.
Is it wrong that I find this a bit inappropriate? We get precious little time together as a family not to be babysitting unasked for someone else. I bring it up here now cause she called to see if dd could play out today. I told her dd was to young to play out alone and I was to busy...
So am I a horrible cow or is this a little off?
