[quote=Anonymous]some parents do know that their kids are brats and they know that they are brats b/c the parents gave in when it was too hard to be the grown up. Unfortunately, these parents tend to be some of our good friends. :-( So we either have to put up with their kids or not see our friends. <sigh> I think it is important to treat your child with respect, but it is also important to be the grown up and set boundaries for acceptable (and safe) behaviors. We've told our DD that she can ask "why" but not refuse to comply. And we are clear that breaking the rules has a consequence. My parents always had reasons for their rules (and curfews) and it made it impossible to argue against them. I wish there were a way to gracefully step in to correct or redirect an errant child when their parents are present. About as brave as I've been is to say "your father/mother said NO."[/quote]
