I know of a Jordanian family and their oldest is almost 17. They will not allow her to do anything with anybody. They will not allow her to go to football games with friends, over to people’s homes, etc. She has to spend her “free” time babysitting her younger sister and brother. When asked why they will not allow her anywhere it is because, “there are boys there” or “we do not like the siblings of her friends.” And she is not allowed to stay home by herself. Anywhere her parents go, she also has to go. If she does not feel good, she still has to go.
that’s too bad for the kids. i can understand somethings these days, but everything?
There are a lot of people who choose to home school, which effectively keeps children away from other peoples’ children.
my daughter works with an Afghani woman who is the same way with her son.
No friends, no after school activities.
He is 17 and cannot be alone.
