the thing is..

I guess it's a trust thing. These kids have been coming over to my house since just a few weeks after I moved in, and in fact, I share a rather good rapport with their entire clan, sending gifts back and forth, swapping recipes, and perhaps they're just glad to have someone play with them or let them be especially during these summer holidays.
Yeah I do sometimes think about them intruding on my time and how the parents let them but I think the parents feel that if I were busy I'd not let them in, because often when I am indeed busy with chores and things that need a bit more than my attention I do often let them know of my inability to have them over and the children sweetly understand waiting to ring my bell a few days after to ask the same question and I can't and don't keep refusing them.
Like right now they're doing their own thing, playing monopoly and jenga while mauling the cat as I sit with a watchful eye and working on the side.
