I loved to do it as a kid.\nMy friend would pick me up and we would walk for miles.\nWe would visit friend's houses, get into mishief, laugh till our sides hurt and tell our friends about our adventures in the morning. I am 50 now and just this weekend my friends brought it up again. We still laugh like we were kids about it.\n\nI just hope my kids don't find out how much fun it was.

I know of some rehabilitated former sex offenders that are single parents. Do you think their children would agree with you? Their children that love them. Their children that are taken great care of by them. I bet if they could get on here and answer this question, you would really be enlightened. I know of one little girl that got Six Flags to take the wording "sex offenders" off the tickets. She is being raised by her single parent who is registered.

Take her to a play if one is nearby.  They are wonderful and hardly anybody takes their kids now days so it will be different.

It depends on how mature are your children. Can you trust them with your house. Could you trust that the kids won't have a party, invite people over that shouldn't be there. Talk to strangers or burn down the house because of matches, or bad cooking.

I was raised on a horse ranch and don't remeber learning how to ride. I was taught very young, I'm sure but in my mind I have always known how to ride. Four is plenty old enough to learn, my 3 yr old grandaughter ride alone and does great, she doesn't gallop yet but she walks, trots and, canters well.

I say yes if you trust them with your kids. It would be a night out with hubby. I don't get that often so I would jump at any chance I got. Go for it.

I couldn't say for sure, but perhaps a local scout troop would be able to help out? Considering it is for a school carnival they might decide to participate and set up a stall also to recruit the kiddies.

Yes they should.  If rules are good for one, they should be good for all.  But the two of you need to sit down and discuss, first, what kind of rules you have for each set of kids.  Compromise on some if need be.  But make sure all the kids have the same rules or it could look like a game of favoritism is being played.

I do Tootsie Rolls. Then you would turn the papers in for some type of prize If you had the most. I wanted to take my kids there, but I have heard that it has gone downhill. I also loved the big skate. They brought it to my elementary school carnival one year.

I took my kids to Build a Bear...  The basic bear, with an outfit and not many extras will cost about $40.00.\n\nDon't go unless you plan to spend close to that or a little more.  You will be disappointed if you aren't prepared to spend at least that.\n\nI hate to say this but the other people who've answered so far don't sound very nice.... these are your KIDS we're talking about... I'm all about my kids.  I don't spend a lot on myself, it's all about them.\n\nI think it's a fun experience and $40 isn't so much to spend to have a fun time with your child and have a nice cute bear to take home to keep.  You'd spend more than that for a day at an amusement park or a night out without your kids.

Wow, where do you live?  Hehe.  Um, I don't know what you can tell your kids other than you really think they should find alternatives to hanging out in dark, secluded areas.  You should know that if they are old enough to go out and do things like that, that if you forbid them to do something, if they have a rebellious nature, they may do what they want - against your wishes and better judgement.  \n\nMaybe instead of trying to preach to them you could provide them with an alternative like your driveway, or backyard to hang out in and do whatever it is that they're doing in these spooky places.  It's never too late to teach your kids about entertaining people in the home.  That's something we don't do enough of in our culture anymore, as far as I'm concerned.  (That isn't to say bad things couldn't happen in the home either, but at least then they would be in a more controlled environment, and you [if you were there] could see who was coming and going...)\n\nOther than that, I don't know what else to tell you other than maybe to give them a curfew which doesn't permit these types of activities.  \n\nGood luck.
