[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's a mix here.

- Not bringing dishes to the sink is a different expectation in every household.  I wouldn't expect kids outside of my household to automatically do what we do.  If they didn't do it after I asked them, then that's rude.

- Bad behavior during a birthday party.  I wouldn't use this as an example of anything.  Birthday parties are just too much stimulation.  Expecting young guests to sit while you do the dishes?  Really, OP. C'mon. Expecting all the guests to bring their plates in or put back toys is also not party behavior.  Manage your expectations.  If this happened during a play date, you can have clean up time for 15 minutes at the end.  But kids do not clean up as they go.

- Grabbing gum and leaving wrappers.  Okay, very rude.  But if this happened during a party, again, let it go.[/quote]

Also, I have to remind my 11 year old son to take his plate to the sink literally every single meal. Don't know why this is so hard to remember, but it somehow is. He'll do it, but he never remembers on his own.[/quote]
