[quote=Anonymous]For the kid who says "Well my mom says I can have it so may I please have ice cream now?" I'd say "When you're at my house and I'm watching you, that means I'm in charge. I already told you there'll be ice cream after lunch. There won't be ice cream at any other time besides that." For the kid who says "Well I'm allowed to take paint into my bedroom at MY house," I'd say "Different homes have different rules; you must have noticed that by now, right? And in this house we don't do things that could cause a big mess. Do YOU want to clean up a can of spilled paint? Well, me either. So you can paint here, on this dropcloth, or you two can find something else to do." I try to just encourage friendships with the kids I DO like, so there's less time for the kids I don't like. Sneaky, but it works.[/quote]
