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. [b]I'm not friends with their children, my DC is not friends with these children. They're just extra guests. [/b]

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.

With an attitude like that, I don’t believe you have any real friends. Your manners might be impeccable, but you sound incredibly tiresome to be around. (And my kids have lovely manners, by the way. )[/quote]
