I’m have a bit of a quandary that I asked advice for from my mom’s group, but let’s see if Nostr advice is any different.

A 10 year old boy in our neighborhood has decided to adopt me. He saw me staining our fence a few weeks ago and stayed and talked to me for most the day and has come by just about every day since and spends 2-6 hours over at a time. He’s not a nuisance. In fact he’s super polite and helps me with everything from cooking to gardening cleaning the pool, and playing with my dog BUT I still have met his parents. I have gone over 3 times to meet them, but he says they work a lot and I left a note last time introducing myself, telling them what a great young man they are raising, and I left my phone number. Crickets. I certainly would never let my kids spend the day with a stranger, but I don’t have the heart to ban him from my house.

What would you do in my situation?

I would make it clear what your intentions are in writing somewhere (prepare for possible recoil one day!)

As crap as it sounds it could be taken a few different waysby outsiders.

Aside from that if you enjoy hanging out then all good. He soubds like he needs some attention which isn't unusual for kids. If they don't find it at home they will go out and find it in friends, mentors, gangs, sports etc.

What does he like doing? Could always teach alittle Austrian economics every so often 😂😂😜

I personally would try to psychoanalyse a bit and see where you can help (assuming you want to).

I def wouldn't let a 10 year oid hang out with strangers but then its hard cos who knows what the parents situation is.
