[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have one family in our neighborhood whose kids always come off as greedy and I don’t invite them places with us because it’s awkward...These kids are not poor or hungry - they are just takers and seem to never pick up on the cues that their behavior is out of the norm with other neighborhood kids. [/quote] Knowing this about them, how is it awkward? Just spell it out for them. Be their village if their parents aren't teaching them (or if they just need more reinforcement of norms).[/quote] I now know to set limits and expectations up front, but it’s every time for every single thing. If I tell them “only 1 popsicle today and no, we aren’t getting out Klondike bars because so don’t have enough for everyone.” I will get the same question followed by them trying to negotiate my limit the following day. It’s just really strange because they do not seem deprived at home. [/quote] Ugh. Spoiled brats.[/quote]
