[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you've been having drop off playdates for 3 years, I would be disciplining this child like he was my own.

When he doesn't listen to a well stated rule, he goes home.  Each and every time.

Good god you've been a doormat for years.[/quote]

This.  I would also explain why the play date was cut short.[/quote]

Agree, especially if you are close enough to "love him like your own".  That only extends to a close friend and my nieces/nephews for me, and those friends/siblings would expect me to discipline like my own as well. [/quote]

Yep. I made a kid sit on the front step outside my house waiting for her mom to pick her up after I warned her "If you don't follow the house rules you can't stay in the house, and I will contact your mom to pick you up early." She cried hysterically but oh well.  I told her "I warned you this would happen if you didn't stop throwing things, because in this house we do not throw things at people's heads."   The mother was really pissed, but I think she was actually embarrassed.  I don't care.  [/quote]
