[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am seriously amazed by the holier than thou posters who [b]claim a 0 tolerance policy for kids on couches. That is nuts. [/b]My kids are allowed on the furniture and I'm not stupid enough to think that makes them rude and undisciplined. [/quote]

Your kids ARE rude and undisciplined, but OP's kid is worse - blatantly ignoring an instruction.  [/quote]
It is not kids on couches. It is kids standing on couch arm rests. It is dangerous and unruly.
I have 2 boys. I get it. They jump on couches - and I correct them. [/quote]

But... It's not really dangerous... Was she holding a knife or something.[/quote]
It is easy to fall Off and hit your head on a coffee table.
Believe me, I've done it. Life threatening? No. But couches are not playgrounds and falling off can hurt. [/quote]

Or break an arm, like I did when I was playing on the couch when I was 6. Plus, it is just rude.  I've had other kids jump on my couch and break it.  Couches are expensive.[/quote]

Kids break their arm on a jungle gym too. Do you scream at them when they are on one. Not. It's more about breaking the couch or "bring rude" ... Yelling is rude too, so just politely ask the 4yo to get down please.[/quote]

I expect some inherent danger at the jungle gym.  But you need to re-read OP's original post.  BIL did not yell at the child.  She wrote, "he said... "no.. no..no".  He yelled after the parents as they exited the room.. "my house, my rules".   You people are distorting what is probably already a distorted story.[/quote]
