Today I went to pick up my 11 year old son from summer school and his newish friend (they went to junior school together but werent really friends before this summer school for their new secondary school) asked if he could go to his house for dinner. He said his dad said it was ok, so I asked him to phone his dad up to check that it really was ok and get his address etc.
So I gave him my phone and let him walk with his friend to his friends house. This new friend seems so much more mature than my son. I usually drop him off or pick him up from friends and he doesn't walk anywhere by himself as school is so far away.
My DP says to relax and let him have some freedom but I am freaking out and can't wait until he's back!
I know I'm probably overprotective and should relax!
