I've only been once, but Rob has been a million times. His roommate in college is the son of the founder of Cafe Britt (the coffee). We went down there for his wedding, and it was just this amazing long weekend of catamaran cruises, parties, dinners, pool days, and festivities. Oh man, it was a blast, and so beautiful. After all that was done we went off to Playa Negra and Tamarindo for a week or so, and ended with a stay at Rincon de la Vieja. We had a blast! Such a beautiful country.

I have a code word incase anyone tries to trick them away by saying "mommies hurt come with me to help her". Other times they get out of my site maybe to go to the restroom at restaurant or movies theater.

I totally hear what you...I appreciate your comment! I totally hear what you are saying and I think for us it's very neighborhood centered. I wouldn't just let him roll out to any park but our park (which we live on and is only a one way street away) is where he has grown up and is a very neighborhood centered park. You have to have a neighborhood pass to park there and it's not really something you would pass if you weren't intentionally going there. We always know or at least are familiar with all of the people who are always there and often a number of older kids (9-12) will show up after school and start a soccer or football game which is what he joins in on. I can't think of a time of day when there isn't someone from our building there with our kids and honestly my biggest issue is the crossing of the street, not the safety of the park. If I see from the window he isn't looking as much as I'd like when I'm crossing I will take away park privileges for a long period of time. I'm never actually concerned about his safety AT the park. A few years back my husband showed me a statistic that there are about 150 kids a year taken by strangers and that really resonated with me. I think the media blows these things up so much when in reality we are more likely to get struck by lightening. I weigh that with the freedom and independence he gains from going and as a total personal decision, we feel that it isn't a concern. Again, I think we are lucky to live where we do and if it was another park in the city I definitely wouldn't let him go by himself, even if I was around the corner. We spend a lot of time talking about what to do if he is approached by a stranger in general, and I have more concern ms about this when we are in other parts of the city. <br /><br />It's hard, I think we all make decisions based on what we are comfortable with, and in this case we feel very confident that this is something he can handle! <br /><br />I hope that gives some insight! I appreciate the discussion!!!<br /><br />Robin M Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03702955349781701549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7726108441348262210.post-9266227705212763272015-06-05T12:35:38.582-04:002015-06-05T12:35:38.582-04:00I know you've posted stuff about this before -...I know you've posted stuff about this before - like you'll let your older son go to the park while you're cooking dinner and can see from the window (something close to that at least). But, can he really just leave the house and go to the park by himself? I am not asking that in a judge-y sort of way. I am genuinely curious. I have a 7 1/2 year old and a 5 year old. And even though my 7 year old is very mature for his age, I could not see letting him go to the park by himself!! (we like in Boston as well). I struggle with how much freedom they should have - because I know I don't really give him any - and I want my kids to be street smart - BUT, I grew up in NYC and I probably watch too much tv and read too many horror stories that I just have a hard time letting go!! Just interested in hearing more thoughts on this. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7726108441348262210.post-14100924659070472292015-06-03T02:18:04.660-04:002015-06-03T02:18:04.660-04:00Stop it!

I've suggested he replace this with "Got it?" instead. But of course you can only control yourself, not others, haha. As for me, I use WAY to many exclamation points in writing! I'm always amazed when I read over something and there's exclamation points all over the place!!! Verbally however, I'm in this whole training program on how to keep my cool and not lose it and yell at my kids.

And as for 'like'...ugh guilty! Sorry! haha. It's a female thing, it's a Western thing (really didn't find it in Dubai when I was there I gotta say; people react to each other in a completely different way and Dubai is pretty westernised). As for how to stop it...I think it's so hard. Maybe work out what it is about a social situation thats making you nervous? And eliminate that? There's no need to be scared. As for me - I usually am WAYYY too quiet socially and then spend the next hour afterwards analysing everything I did and didn't say. Exhausting! Funny post though - makes me think.
