5 days agoWe Had a Very Strict Rule for Our Kids at Our Old House. I'm Afraid It's Scarred Them for Life.
So we had a strict rule that the kids weren't allowed out the front door without an adult. They're 9 and 11 years old, so I know this sounds like overkill. But there wasn't a porch or much of a front yard space, and the road had no sidewalks. In the time we lived there, a car once lost control and crashed into our front yard. Even normal traffic went at 50 mph.
