Bill is my sons age. I don't let my son go out by himself with his friends or anything, but its just personal preference. Bill never seems to do much for his age though, like the football with Mark or going on a bike ride. Then again, they do nothing as a family do they? Never a cinema trip, bowling, a family swim, day trip. I sometimes let my son stay up a bit later with us, you never hear of her doing that though, he seems to be in bed early even of a weekend. She does dress him very young and the food is ridiculous.
