My weird rules!

I am updating with no pictures....sorry! But I needed to vent and it will be too long for facebook! So today one of Ryan's friend from school his mom asked if Ryan could come over next week after school and I told her sure but we don't do play dates alone yet. I said I could have the rest of my kids go to grandma's and Ryan and I could come over. Well I guess she didn't like that because she said her daughter had to take a nap during that time and that's why she thought the boys could just play so it wont work that day. I guess she didn't want me there too. I felt so weird but seriously it is not that weird to want to do everything you can to protect your children! We did this and still do with our girls too! We decided to do this with our kids and we are not going back on it! You can't trust people these days! So then after school Hailey calls her friend and her mom wanted to talk to me. She invited Hailey to a party on a Sunday, so I kindly told her that is our church/family day and we don't do things like that on Sunday. So her mom said well that is why we are doing it later so people could go to church first, she is going to be so mad that Hailey can't make it. I did feel bad saying no but seriously she should respect that. This isn't the 1st time we have had to tell people this before either, I have had to explain my rules to a lot of people. Oh well! I just wish people didn't think I was so weird because we have these rules for our kids. I'm not going to just let my kids go to people's houses alone that I don't know very well just to not offend them and I am not going to break our Sunday rules either. Please tell me I'm not the only weird one that has rules like this?!
