No his parents ,my brother and his wife don’t over protect him.But I know exactly what you are saying...And nowadays kids don’t hang out together.Like you said, they have stupid “play dates”.Yea ok, you have to practically make a schedule for your kids to play with other kids...It’s like,oh is Billy available at 3:15 on so and so date?Can we make an appointment for them to play together.We didn’t have play dates when I was growing up.Like now..Oh let me check my schedule.No we just went outside and ran around and played with our friends.
