[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had one kid over for a playdate who had impulse issues, was a liar, etc.

I told my 1st grade kid there was one non-negotiable.  The door to the master bedroom was to remain closed and off-limits.  It was messy and there were grownup things I didn't want the child to have access to (coin tray, paperwork, etc.).

Within the first hour, I caught my son and his friend running through the room on their way into the master bath for no good reason.  Those two spaces are self-contained and didn't need to be visited by the kids.

That was it for playdates with that kid at our house.[/quote]

So you blamed the other child and not yours[/quote]

That was also my thought. Weird response. Your kid doesn't know how to follow rules in their own house? What do you think happens when he's at someone else's house?[/quote]

That was a specific rule set up for a specific playdate with a specific child.  My kid asked if they could play upstairs in his bedroom.  We have a small house and normally all guests stay on the ground level where the main t.v.  and toy corner and train table are.

I had one condition and it was discussed several times in advance and agreed to.

My son basically forgot because his friend was a tearing around, lippy kind of kid.

Feel free to find my life weird.

My kid was well-behaved and frequently invited back.

The other kid grew up to still be a risk taker and behavior problem.  Although he has some redeeming qualities, I'm glad my son stayed out of his orbit.  Kid is an underaged drinker and motorcyclist.

Your kid didn’t “forget”, or isn’t as conscientious as you think he is. My kid knows to come tell me if rules are not being followed. She also knows to blame me if there’s something she doesn’t want to do at another house that seems weird to her, like going in a main bedroom “my mom won’t let me”.

And LOL at “motorcyclist” being some kind of slur. [/quote]
