DD plays outside with the neighbourhood kids after school, till about 6ish when it is her dinner time. Today, another kid whom we know joined them to play. This kid used to come to our house afte school and play with DD till his mom took his older brother for tuition. Today, however, his dad was at home while his mom was out with his older brother. But dad was sleeping while this little boy was playing outside with my DD and the other kids.
Once I went to the kitchen and when I returned, this boy was in our living room. DD and the other kids were still outside playing. I always keep the door slightly ajar when she plays outside and I stay in the living room so that I can keep and eye on her. This little boy had sneaked inside through the open door. Then he asked for some juice, which I offed him and then he made himself quite comfortable on our couch.
Then, DD finished playing outside and came in as it was her dinner time. Today was her school trip so she was shattered. I asked this boy whether his mom is at home and he said no, his dad was asleep and mom was out with brother. I waited for about 20 minutes, they played games on the ipad. Then I told him that after one more game I will drop him home as my DD is tired and needs an early bed time. Then he said that he can go by himself and went.
When I told this to DH he said that I shouldn't have sent him home and that he's on,y a little kid and that I should have let him stay at ours till his mom came back. But I didn't know wha time she'll be back.
