Yes, and DS doesn't learn about God just from a parent (me). He spends about 2 hours every weekend in Sunday school. Once he is 12, not only is there the hours of Sunday school but also early morning seminary classes, the church's Young Men's group on Wednesday evenings, and if he decides to go on a mission when he turns 18 then he will spend up to a few months in the missionary training center.
<<I think that by choosing an absurdly narrow definition of "supervision," that allowed you to imply that she was not supervising her son and his friends. >>
I don't think that the issue has been boiled down to a rich/poor issue. It's also a urban/suburban/rural issue. Example: I live in an urban area and the upper middle class families I know do not have ponds and pools and horses and large expanses of land on which to play games. They have to drive or otherwise get themselves to the pool or the park just like everyone else. Of course, they probably belong to the chichi private club with the pool, and they probably live near the nicer parks, but still. Those with horses have to pay for boarding, and if they want to ride they need to drive or otherwise get themselves to the stables. These things just aren't right outside their doors.
And please, don't even get me started on why and how people who are "dirt poor" have 4 wheelers and pools.

Um no,
I think the familiarity aspect is huge!

My DH is atheist. My DH is okay with this.

Same here. Jumped off several times, fell off once. I LOVE being up there. If I had a house, I would still get up on the roof. :-)
then we agree?
and let me add,my school enforces each and every one of their core beliefs on a regular basis.
So if I say, "Personally, I'd be worried if my child needed as much supervision as yours does," that's just as statement about me? No.
And if I say, "when did you stop beating your kids," that's okay, because I'm just asking a question? No.
I'm not going to play this game with you.
No.
