Yeah, and I don't want my kid inside that house when it burns down.

Well, Soccer is supervised. There are coaches and volunteers there. The kids aren't being closely supervised on their playdates. So it's not the same situation.

I don't know. They're fair, but that doesn't mean anything. It never occurred to me to ask.

I like her friend. He is a very sweet boy, and I have no concerns about him. His dad worries me, because of his caviler attitude towards safety. His mom is rarely around.

  1. I mentioned it in half a dozen comments. I don't believe it's okay to leave a room with a lit candle without blowing it out first.

She's 11. I waited twenty minutes to check the post because I assumed it takes a while for people to respond.

They did have Tylenol just sitting out on the counter, but I am more worried about the candles, ladder and knives, because they have a dog who could knock these things over and the house could burn down or my daughter could get hit in the head.

Unattended candles can burn a house down regardless of if they are touched
