I'd like to clear up some things since there is rampant speculation about what has happened here. Fair enough, I didn't offer any explanation on the outset.
I live in a solidly upper-middle class neighborhood in the suburbs of a large metro area. Folks who live here are working professionals; engineers, lawyers, doctors, small business owners, etc. Overall great people but... some strange ones for sure.
Anyway, my son was playing out front with the next door neighbor kid and the children with the slide asked them to come over and play on their cool new water slide. My sons went over and the six-year-old came back with this.
Now I know the parents who bought the slide and I know their children and they have all played together well on the street / cul-de-sac with all the other children so I had no problem sending my six-year-old over with his older brother to scope it out and have the parents call me or bring me their number so I'd have it. I got a permission slip instead. As did all the other parents who said "sure, my kid can go to your yard to play."
I agree with those that say the slide owners probably mean well, and they are covering their own ass etc. etc. but the reason I posted this to WTF is because of the nature 'friendly' permission slip.
What has playtime come to?
Kids weren't lining up to play on this slide; it was new and no one knew (or cared) about it. Their children canvased the street for kids to bring them over to play on it. Slides are cool for kids so I was fine with mine playing on it and they were excited to try something novel for the afternoon. I was grateful my kids had the opportunity.
Cool. Except the letter the parents sent back home to all of their neighbors. Basically backhandedly telling us, their neighbors, our kids are by-and-large little jerks who don't know how to behave themselves and will eat them out of house and home if given the opportunity. And since we probably didn't raise them right and they are uncultured heathens, here is how we expect all of them to behave.
If they feel that way, just don't invite anyone over! Why send a letter out to everyone letting them know you feel that way??
I know all the kids around my house. With the exception of one or two, all of them are great kids. I host them at my house a lot. The others just need more supervision. I know all of the parents around my house. All of them would back up any other if their kid was misbehaving and needed to be disciplined. All of us know it takes a village. It's a great corner of our neighborhood.
I actually would be okay with a simple slip letting me know about the slide and its hazards asking for a contact number if they needed to call. I understand its unfortunate necessity. But I also understand its just window dressing and wouldn't stop a lawsuit if someone's insurance felt the need to sue.
