[quote=Anonymous]Sounds like a gentle talk with DS is in order. At nine, he should stand up to a friend who is going against house rules. I'm pretty sure the OP has taught her DS that trashing the playroom is unacceptable. DS should know it is his responsibility to tell friends when they are violating house rules. OP's DS should be taught to tell friends, "That's not acceptable in my house - stop." He should also know he can/should get a parent when the friend continues. It also sounds like OP needs to monitor the playroom a litter closer with this particular friend. When my DD was younger, she had a friend who would come over and pick all my flowers to turn into "soup." DD and I talked that a few flowers were OK but pulling off all the camellias buds were not. (GRERRRR!!) We also talked about what to do when she told her friend this who then wouldn't listen. This was very helpful for my DD. [/quote]
