My kids spending time with neghbor kids

I have a problem with my kids because they always go to our neighbors' house to play with other kids. My husband and I are always out for work and my kids are with their baby sitter but the sitter can not control them. They always find ways to come to the neigbor's house and spend a lot of time playing. I am just worried if they might do something wrong and my kids will be a part of it? I keep on telling my kids but since I am always away, they are always free. What are some ideas you could share in order to help me this problem? Do you have similar experience or did you hear one? I'm just desperate sometimes. Thanks for your ideas.

Are the kids supervised at the neighbor's house? If so I don't see what the problem is unless they're not doing their chores at home before going out to play. If the other kids are known to be bad then you should make them stay away from them but, if they're just normal kids, maybe you could let them play over there (if an adult is present) but have them check in with the baby sitter every hour or so.

Oh!! thanks for the idea. Well, I am not so sure if adults are always there to supervise because we have many neigbors and I am not sure if these kids would stay in only one place? I should be glad if the one I am close to whom I know that she will take care of my kids would be the place where they would stay most often. I just remind my kids not to be with bad company but who knows? Well, thank you very much for that idea. I appreciate it.

Only solution is one of the parent should resign their job and be with the kids!!!. I know its not possible with the present economic situation. Suggestion!!! Allow the kids to play with a condition that they should finish their home works - to be in no one rank in their schools etc and in the mean time watch the kids regularly on their Attitudes and Habits - Prevention is better than cure - if you find any thing wrong with them - correct it with lovely words. Its needless to point out that the servants have no time to see the children - if they have time they will be in front of the Big Match Box - I mean in front of the Telivision.hahahahaha!! God bless your kids dubai jana
