When I was young we had a neighbor who used to do that. Moms would look out in the yard and see the neighbor’s kids playing out there all alone. When asked who they were playing with the answer would be “nobody, Mommy said to go play at your house for awhile”.
You couldn’t hardly keep us kids indoors when we were young. I lit out at daylight with a little something to eat in my hand to go exploring, climb a tree and read a paperback book, go riding, play in creeks, and catch bugs and tiny critters. In winter we’d go sledding until we were blue with cold, come in to warm up and get new pants/mittens on, and out we went again!
Annie should have waited a bit, before jumping in the tub, to let the kids get settled in at Ellie’s.A responsible mother will alway’s answer the phone when her kids are farmed out somewhere.

Since when did Elly open a daycare center? Sounds a lot like those kids were dumped at the doorstep without notice and Elly was expected to watch them for free.
That was inconsiderate of Anne. Unless I have arranged it myself with another parent, I am available, no matter what. That’s rude to tell my kids to go to another house while I go take a bath/take a nap/go shopping, etc.

Didn’t they have answering machines in those days?

Actually, Annie should have called Ellie and asked nicely if the kids could come over, because she needed a break. Just for an hour….

Trouble is when these days are over you miss them terribly.

Like Oceanic said…Ahhh! Who knew we were going to be one of the last free-range-kid generations. I’m glad I got to experience it, too.
