[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ouch. I think the kicker for me would be them yelling at your kids. Do not sleep over there again. And have you talked to your sister?[/quote]

Thanks PP. I was typing an answer to your question as you were posting (see above).  Yes, it bothers me (and really bothers my DH) when they yelled at DD like that. It's a hard balance because we are generally very permissive with our kids (i.e., they can climb the stairs in our house as they wish, and jump on our couch), and those things aren't allowed in my sister's house. I understand that we need to respect her household rules, but it's hard for my DDs to understand why they were getting yelled at for, in their opinion, nothing. [/quote]

OP, I'd be furious if your DD began jumping on my furniture. I wouldn't yell at her but if you didn't immediately stop her I absolutely would let her know that in our house, chairs and couches are for sitting on and not for jumping on. Was your DD climbing the stairs to get somewhere or playing on the stairs? Maybe he was worried she would fall and hurt herself? [/quote]
