Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday hosted by An Island Life. In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too.
My question for today is:
If you children are at the age to have friends come over, what are your rules on weekdays for friend visits?
My daughter who is 6 has a neighborhood friend who is 5. When they became friends they used to play outside in front of my house or the other child's house. Then they started playing at the other child's house and now everyday this child comes knocking at our door. If I tell her that my daughter can play but only outside in the backyard, she some how tries to get my daughter to play indoors. I am not a fan of this because it usually results in said child trying to "borrow" a toy or the room in a mess. It is getting to the point where I don't even want my daughter playing with this child anymore. I'm not sure what to do.
