[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I gently correct my kids, I don’t make a scene at other people house. Performance parenting is annoying.

You sound over the top for a normal childhood issue.[/quote]

OP here, that’s exactly how some of my American friends make me feel. And back home I would totally quote you to explain the difference in parenting “gently correcting” your child, calling writing on other peoples home “normal issue” when we would see this as a sign the child is out of control and not properly disciplined at home. I say that last part without judgment, when I go back home I now find the discipline too strict. I guess I am navigating somewhere in the middle right now.[/quote]

DP here, I think you are conflating two issues. First, that the child drew on your wall means the child is poorly disciplined. I tend to agree with you, but kids do mess up and four is very young. 
Second, that the parent did not chastise the child in front of you. There, I think you are wrong. In your OP you seem to be bothered that the mom didn't scold her kid enough, and multiple PPs have said that even if they might yell or punish at home they won't do it at your house. That's less of a discipline issue than a social manners issue. I don't think you can conclude much about at-home parenting from your friend's response in your home. [/quote]
