It was such a strange transition from "who do I trust with my kid?" to "who do I trust with my kid and can I trust my kid to be trustworthy with who I trust?"

I think it would have been very hard to let her go without being there too. Glad it worked out that her friend could have his birthday closer to home.Tara R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02993625193184914299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5494655959430218526.post-40219918993088562282011-10-24T17:09:58.539-05:002011-10-24T17:09:58.539-05:00I honestly don't know; I think I would have to...I honestly don't know; I think I would have to be something like blood sisters with at least one of the parents first, but...I just don't know.Korihttp://seekorirant.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5494655959430218526.post-39855229492272009112011-10-24T15:58:40.367-05:002011-10-24T15:58:40.367-05:00If it were parents I knew well and trusted, and wh...If it were parents I knew well and trusted, and who knew my child well, I'd be OK with it. <br /><br />But a larger group or parents that didn't know my kid well enough, and I probably would have said no, or at least offered to come along. <br /><br />Of course, my 7 year old is a special case - with her autism she's very likely to wander off, so I'd have to really trust the Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07345875955750219033noreply@blogger.com
