[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on the ages and specific families and kids/parents, obviously, but I find that parents of 3+ young-ish kids (say, elementary and under) think it's cool/fine to just declare defeat on any standards of control or manners in public settings or others' homes in the name of their many children.  Like they wear their family size as a badge of honor or status symbol and it's a get out of jail free card for poor behavior and it's on the rest of us for "only" having 1 or 2 kids and managing them reasonably well.

Good for them and I'm sure they'll find their people (likely with the other bigger-family chaos crews), but if they're destroying my house and causing chaos while their peers are within bounds, they may not be on the next invite.  [/quote]

Absolutely not!  I don't allow yelling or running in the house, and no physical fighting anywhere.  Wrestling is fine in the basement on mats, running and shouting belongs outside.  Manners belong everywhere.[/quote]
