Neighbours not watching their kids

[mattsmom]

I have that problem when we go to the neighbourhood park. There are 2 boys that I used to look after who's house backs on to the park. Well, as soon as mom sees that we are out there, she sends the boys out to play...and both she and her husband are nowhere to be found. Now, as soon as I see them come out of the yard, I tell the kids it's time to clean up and we go for a walk through the forest nearby, or we go to a different park.

Just because we are caregivers does not mean that we want to care for extra kids with lazy parents!
