I know that when I'm minding that DD1 cannot have her friends round to play because it would put me over my numbers. However where do I stand on this one:
We live down a dead end road with 12 houses down here, us being the end one. About 3 of DD1's school friends live down here too. After school they all like to play outside and often congregate on my front lawn as we are the end house and there is also a lovely big stretch of grass down the side of my house, where they can kick a ball about and play in the trees nearby. Obviously we all keep a general eye out when they are playing out there but I am not actually supervising them.
My front garden is not fenced off and leads onto the stretch of grass down by the side and this is separated from our back garden by a 6" fence.
So how do I stand with my own daughter and 3 of her friends (all under 8) often joined by older and younger siblings playing outside my house? I'm not sure if its part of our property or not as we are in married quarters. Any ideas?
