So my oldest made his first best friend over the summer who lives two houses up. Both are the same age and both start kindergarten together this year.
Now the story....my son is a reptile fanatic and his friend came over like usual but this time my two sons decided they was going to open the door to the reptile room and go show him the snakes. I instantly shut the door and said no then I called for my son 5 minutes later to talk to him privately.
I said to him, not all parents like snakes, lizards and reptile like we do. He asked why not and I really didn't have a answer for him so I told him to go back to playing.
The real reason why is that I know the kids Dad is snooty and would probably flip balls (no pun) if he found out I have a large collection of pythons.
Also from what's been going on in the news. He would then not feel safe with his kid at my house. There would be no reasoning with him either I just know that's what type of person/man he is. It would end up destroying my kids first friendship. Me and my wife both agree on this and both think its sad.
I'm just wondering if any one else has ran into a similar situation where they had to keep there snakes/reptiles a hush hush
