My DC are 7&9 and are allowed to "play out" on the patch of green in the park which I can see from my kitchen window. We're in a block of flats which back onto the park. I don't trust them further as they get quite rough together.
Neighbours downstairs have just moved in with a 9 year old girl. She has some friends over, a class mate of DS's and a younger brother who must be 5-6. They've asked my kids to go to the playground. The park is split so the playground is further back than the green and I can't see it from my flat. I can hear them though!
Is it bad form to check on them?
As my DC were invited is it a given that the other parents will check on them?
The mothers of both sets of children were sitting out in the downstairs neighbour's garden when the kids left.
(I'm on crutches so there's a bit of self-interest in not bothering to go and check.)
