My 7yo is going to a summer camp and has made a good friend with another boy who apparently just moved into the area. He will be going to the same school as my son so they might be in the same class.

My son asked if he could go to his house or vice versa. I said I’d have to get to know his parents first. I hadn’t seen his parents. The boy is picked up by a sitter who rubbed me the wrong way. He’s like in his 40s and kisses him on the lips before he leaves.

Yesterday I approached him and asked if he’d kindly pass my information to the parents for a possible playdate. He said that was not necessary because he can do that. I said I’d much rather deal with the parents. He said I’m the dad.

I was dumbfounded because he looks nothing like the boy. I said so you’re not a hired sitter? He said no, he works from home and takes care of the kids. I said, wow I’m actually relieved to hear that.

He asked why and I said I thought it was creepy at the thought of a sitter kissing a kid on the lips and telling him that he loves him. That angered him and I said it was a joke.

He left and I haven’t heard back from him or his wife about the playdate.
