[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a nanny and occasionally have kids over to my apartment for various reasons. Kids definitely act differently here than at home and I have to remind them not to jump on the couch, not to drop their stuff everywhere etc. It's really ok to tell them the rules in your house, and to tell them to stop doing XYZ. I know it feels awkward to boss other people's kids around, but I promise it's ok--even at the park if they're hurting other kids. Some kids just need extra reminders about rules and boundaries.[/quote] It feels like I have to parent other kids in addition to hosting the party. “Larla, don’t jump on the coach” “Larla, don’t stick hands into bowls of food”, “Larla, don’t run around the house with food”, “Don’t act like a rabid dog when someone asks you a question” “Don’t try to break the treadmill” “Don’t bang on the piano full force”[/quote]
