[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think I know what you mean, OP. Bigger families can have a different vibe when they are all together. My son has a couple friends that are from families with 3 boys and they are great kids and follow our rules for playdates but when the whole family is over it’s a totally different vibe! In particular the kids that don’t have a friend their own age will be disruptive and rough with the other kids to get attention. It’s a lot sometimes.

We tend to do stuff out of the house with those families (I like the parents a lot too which is why we don’t just stick to drop off play dates)[/quote]

I ALSO think that when parents are there, the kids behave worse - when their parents aren't there, they know they have to listen to the resident parent.  BUT when their own parents are there, it's - who is the boss? The resident parents OR their own parents? And a lot of resident (hosts) parents won't step in because they think the visiting parents should step it, but the visiting parents think well, if the host parents are fine, guess it's fine!

UGH.  Go to the park! [/quote]
