yes unfortunatly I do.. I rarely say anything to them.. Might have a whine to DH later though..

I am sure people disagree with my parenting style

ie the barefoot thing.. I used to judge on that till I had a child that simply refused shoes. It was hard no matter how hard we tried. In the end we decided not to fight him anymore and he soon got the idea and wear shoes.. but in saying that we didn't let him walk where it was not safe

On your friend I would be ringing someone about this guy living there.. I thought once you had been charged with something to do with kids you weren't allowed near them? Which means he is breaking the law..
