If I was never allowed to be home alone at 8 I feel like I’d have been deprived of some essential freedom.
America’s extremely risk averse attitude is such a large and ugly stain on the banner of freedom it waves so vigorously.

djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 days agoThe weird part about them staying over is that their partner isn’t also home, since they have to text them this information. That makes me think the idea is they’re living together. Also in either case it implies that OP is taking care of the kid, since I don’t think you should just leave a nine yr old home alone.

You think it’s weird to leave a person you’ve been dating for a year and a half alone in your house?

My family texts each other all the time when we’re in the same house, just too lazy to go upstairs or whatever.

Possibly she texted him so that the kid wouldn’t overhear them talking about his gift. My daughter’s Dad and I used to do that all the time, especially for private talks that we thought might hurt her feelings.
