Yeah maybe find a way to "watch" her while she is having free play time. Sort of like my kid riding his bike alone to his friend's house while still being watched.
Did you ever watch Family Ties? (I loved Alex P. Keaton) If yes, you may remember the episode where on his 18th b-day he defied his Mom and went to West Virginia to celebrate with a couple of friends. They then had a big argument in their kitchen after the fact.
So?
LR have you recently changed your political affiliation to moderate Republican?
Yes sir. Between the Primary and General election. I’ve been planning to do it for 2 years because I can’t vote for our County office candidates because they are all Republicans so the election is decided in the Primary.
It does not get any more Republican than this all white area of Georgia...
you're a bad parent.
Why do you say that?
you would let your child go on the subway in New York alone in this day and age.
I do not even live in NYC, but there are plenty of people who do live in NYC who have their children go to and from school on the subway. Those kids are almost never harmed. It is a lot safer in NYC than out in the middle of nowhere.
those are bad parents.
And yet their children are fine?
Guno (posting ITT), a NYC native, said he rode the subway alone as kid in the '50's and '60's claims it's different today (not in a good way). So no, most don't think it normal and safe.
Wrong
Yup.... just like my kids riding their bikes and walking a mile to Elementary School, it was good for them.
I disagree.
I walked to school, which was probably more dangerous, because it was the suburbs and there were fewer people around to help me.
My daughter crashed her bike once, and scraped her arm... a very kind lady came out of a house and helped her, then called me. I think she felt I was negligent, but it all worked out fine. She doesn't even have a scar.
Are you comparing riding a NYC subway with walking a mile through a middle-class suburban neighborhood?
