[Margaret Pilkington]

I think you stick to the rules you have made Gayle....if your children pester you to do what other children are doing, then you could explain your reasons to them.....another thing to consider is that the nights are drawing in and it just isn't safe to let children play out unsupervised. I think I would also be phoning the little girls Mum if she was playing at your house....just to give her some peace of mind and maybe prick her conscience just a little bit.
