y'all, tell me if I'm whacked in the head, or what

My next-door neighbor's kid just came over to see if he could play video games with Matthew.

It's 10:06pm.

TEN-OH-SIX P.M.

This makes two week(end)s in a row he's done this; last week, it was on Saturday night.

I told Matthew no, it was too late (seriously--who the hell lets their ten yr old kid outside in a fucking WINTER STORM, at 10pm?!). About a minute later, Nathan knocks on my *bedroom door* to ask if he can stay over to play video games with Matthew.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, seriously: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now, it could be me, thinking this is kind of (a little...a LOT) whacked. Anyone else want to weigh in?

I have no idea. I mean, when I was that age I would've been in bed at 9pm, and I wouldn't have *dreamed* of opening the door and letting someone into the house without telling my parents. On the other hand, my sister-in-law used to let her kids stay up to watch Angel, which started at 10pm, and they turned out just fine, so who knows?

The main point is that whatever your neighbour does, it's *your* house, and if you don't want the kids in there at any time, then they shouldn't be there.
