I had a fight with my husband......well, fight may be a bit of a stretch as fight for us is I or he say something and then if the other disagrees, we state why perhaps is a "I'm right tone" and then we stop the talk without coming to some kind of common ground. This time it was about "our daughters play time". I had currently designated Monday and Friday after school for her to bring friends over to play. She wants more days(she's 10yrs old). I said no as there is school work and honestly having kids over is "hard"....I also have a 4 yrs old who plays with daughter and friends. They play indoors and sometimes in back yard...I supervise. My husband stated..."When I was a child I played everyday after school". But when he was a child it was different....kids were not being kidnapped, or we didn 't hear some of the things we hear of today. Plus it is "ME" that has to put up with so many kids and so much noise and mess and fighting, etc. I can't deal with that every day. Oh not to mention some of these kids come over to my house with their homework and ask me to help them with it. Am I wrong for putting my foot down and setting play days?...I also think that it teaches guidelines, and responsibility. Okay, everyone...give me your opinions. Perahps two days is not enough socializing time....I don't know...I was trying to strike some balance................
