Some parents would find that thought horrifying, but he is seriously mature. Like, if he wasnt obviously a kid looking at him you would think he was about 16 or so. I am almost certain his other kids wont be allowed to do stuff on their own at his age because they are still...kids. But his son, its completely mad, he will sit and have a hour long convo with you about politics and stuff like that  |
There's a huge difference between a 10 year old and a 12 year old imo, it might only be 2 years but that a lot when you're that young. I stand by thinking that it's not responsible to let a 10 year old walk home in the dark in a dangerous area
