Ask Amy: Is it OK to let our child use the bachelor neighbor’s pool?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:26:09 GMT

Dear Amy: We live in the South, where many people have swimming pools (we don’t).We’ve known our neighbor “Ned” ever since we moved in, seven years ago. He is middle-aged and single. We’re friendly, but not close friends.He has a nice pool, and obviously this is a huge draw for our kids, who are 7 and 11.Ned has been super-nice about his pool and has let the kids know that they are welcome to use it, any time.Now that our daughter is 11, she wants to go over there by herself. Ned says that’s fine and he’ll keep an eye on her while she’s there.This doesn’t feel right, but our daughter is pressuring us, and we’re not sure what to do.– Puzzled ParentsDear Puzzled: That’s a solid “no.” You do not want your children hanging out at an adult neighbor’s house without a parent also being physically present.They should also never go to a private swimming pool without your direct supervision, and because Ned seems unable or unwilling to establish boundaries, you must. There are affordabl...
