[quote=Anonymous]On a scale of 1-10? Like a 3. From an etiquette standpoint yes these things are rude. But kids often push boundaries and do rude things because they are still learning. With the snacks you can keep saying no or just offering boring snacks after the 4 bags of chips or cookies and eventually the kid will learn that your house is not one that allows unlimited snacks. Our neighbor's dd would come over all the time to play and would immediately ask for a snack. Even when I knew she had come over directly after lunch and I knew her mom didn't allow her unlimited snacks at home. She just figured she could give her best shot at my house. Eventually I started offering her fruit, veggies, string cheese, etc as a 3rd or 4th snack option and she would politely decline. With the gift again the kid was probably excited and wanted to play with it and thought there was a chance you'd give in. Is it rude? Yes. Is it a reason to bar them from ever coming over? No. [/quote]
