Also, I was very strict about manners and respect at my house. We lived in a small neighborhood with tons of little kids but varying degrees of supervision.

I had an older (7) neighborhood DC who liked to play with my 5 and 3 YO, often inside. One time I told the visiting neighbor to help clean up and head home...and was told "no."  I explained to the kid that he wouldn't be coming back.

Another DC-when I said it was time to go home-turned to me and asked why. I said, "because I said so." Banished.

[b]Zero tolerance for misbehaved kids.[/b][/quote]

Misbehaved kids say no when they're asked to turn off the TV, or say that they aren't ready yet. A child telling a trusted adult FU is something far worse than simply misbehaved.[/quote]

Back in the day, there was solidarity among most parents that this would be unacceptable. Not so, today. 
Sadly, if OP follows this line of thinking and backs it up with action, she will find herself to be painted as the next villain in the resulting DCUM thread on “audacious behavior of ride neighbor who traumatized my child!”  :roll: [/quote]
