Do you teach your kids to stay out of primary bedroom during a play date?

What I have a major issue with is a kid jumping or walking across the furniture. I would say over half playdates require my correction and two kids mine love get less invites because they don't listen and jump on the couch. I am worried they will fall and get hurt. Why is prancing across the couch and coffee table ok with other families?

Totally agree. And those kids’ parents would swear their kids are so well-behaved. Nope. And if you subtly try to say anything, their feelings get hurt.

It's not normal. It's only for people who are not doing a good job of raising their kids.

So weird, I think it’s standard with door knobs. You just lock the door from the inside and close it and there is a little key thing. We only use the locks for this exact reason when kids are over for a play date.

My children can come in the master no problem. But friends cannot because it’s usually messy and I take daily medicine that I don’t want a friend getting their hands on. I know my child would never touch my medicine but I don’t know about other kids so I take zero risks. It’s easier to just lock the door. But really a kid that doesn’t listen doesn’t come back.
