My DS (just turned 10) plays out sometimes at weekends - he just goes to the basketball court a couple of streets away with local friends, and has a set time he has to be home (he's usually out for an hour or so). But I'm not happy about him playing out after dark in the week - his friends sometimes call for him at eg 4.30 to go to the court, and he thinks I'm horribly mean not to let him. But I just don't feel comfortable about him being out in the dark. Am I being unreasonable/overprotective? One of his friends has massive free reign to do what he wants and the other is usually allowed out till 5.30pm. But I just think they are quite young for that! Any thoughts v welcome ...
