My dd is 10 & I've just started letting her go out to the park with her friends by herself. The park is about 5 mins away on a bike, 10 min walk.
As it's now school hols they're loving this and now seem to spend every waking minute there. My concern is when they want to go in the early evening. Home time seems to keep getting pushed later & later. I thought 7.30 was late enough but it got pushed to 8pm which I agreed to.
But we've started getting a phone call at 7.55 asking to stay out for another half an hr because 'everyone else is'! After a couple of these dh exploded and put it right back to 7.30.
What do yours do? We live in a pretty 'safe' area and they're a good bunch of kids but I worry that older teenagers may appear as it gets later and, well I just worry.
