Would You Let Your 9 Year Old Walk Home from School?

My 9 year old son wants to walk to his friend's house after school on Friday. He would be walking with his friend & the distance is probably less than a mile. The neighborhood is good, but I'm nervous. I won't be home until around 6 because I work. My son has told me that his friend's parents think that I am too overly protective. I have a neighbor in law enforcement that mentioned that there are 5 pedaphiles (excuse the spelling) in the area.

When to Exercise?

I am about 20 pounds overweight, due to having 3 kids and lack of self-control when it comes to eating. I really want to begin exercising. I start then stop, start then stop, but I can never get on a schedule. Now that school is out for the summer, it is going to make it even harder for me. My best time would be do exercise at night.

Do you have any suggestions for me?

How to Deal with an Out of Control 7 Year Old?

I have been having issues with my 7 year old daughter being disrespectful, honest & kind. She has always been a good kid up until about 3 months ago. We did have another child 11 months ago and she was very happy when he arrived and she is really good with him (most of the time). She still gets the same attention, if not more now, than she had before her brother was born so I don't think this is the reason. Maybe it's just the age??? She says mean things to me and no matter what I say or do it just continues. She has also stop listening to...
