Ah, so you don’t like women or children. Got it.[/quote]

I'm inviting my friends over for dinner.  Their children just tag along. I'm not friends with their children, my DC is not friends with these children. They're just extra guests.

I'm sorry to say, but no one else besides you will enjoy your "littles" if they act like rabid animals in a zoo.

I have had many other friends over whose children have good manners and it was actually enjoyable having them over.  These children:
- Say "hello", "please" and "thank you"
- They eat at a table and not running around a house spreading their food everywhere they go
- They know how to use utensils and napkins
- They don't stuff their face with handfuls of chips and pretzels
- They don't stick their dirty hands into dishes
- They are able to entertain themselves
- They don't interrupt adults
- They don't slam doors and bang on the walls and I don't have to wash walls after they leave
- They don't constantly interrupt their parents when parents are talking or other adults
- They are able to make small talk with adults and converse between each other

It's your job as a parent to instill good manners in your kids so they will be welcome in other people's houses.  This is a minimum standard, I won't even go into other things.
