    Default WWYD....Situation with neighbors

    My ds is friends with a really nice boy that lives a few houses down from us. I just heard a rumor though ( from a reliable source) that the husband and wife are swingers. Would you still feel comfortable with your child going over there for playdates? I know it is more common now, but it still freaks me out! I guess I am just wondering what else they might be into!

    Thanks, Ann

    Until and unless they hit on you or DH, it would not bother me one bit.

    even then, not sure it would phase me. I'd just decline and move on. I don't think that b/c they swing that there is anything worrying re. playdates. I don't see that it would be an issue there.

    Yup. Swingers don't bother me, even though it is not my cup of tea.

    I think you need to be far more cautious of people who are seemingly asexual, yet looooove children.

    If you are into sex with adults, whatever floats your boat on your own time, do it. Just take care of and be mindful of my kids.

    Unless we're talking about a chance of DD being there during a party, and/or barring any "contraptions" hanging from the ceiling that I would have explain.... what happens in their bedroom (or anywhere else my child is not exposed to) is none of my business.

    I'm not saying that I would allow my child to hang out no matter the family situation... but if it was an "approved" friend/family before this tidbit of information, then I wouldn't withdraw all contact/friendship.

    Apparently I've got the mind of a 13yo today, because this reply isn't funny, but I giggled the whole time... "hang out" (what's hanging out?), "tidbit" (hopefully things are bigger than a tidbit ), "withdraw"....

    I agree with the PP. What goes on in their bedroom or a club shouldn't be of issue.

    FYI those "contraptions" that hang from the ceiling can be fun

    I am a prude. It would totally bother me and I would be uncomfortable with my children being over there. I would not have fear that my children would be in danger, but I already know that it is a family with values radically different from ours and who knows how that might manifest itself.
