[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Last night DS (7th grade) had a friend over after school, and he stayed for dinner. During dinner, I’m sorry, but this kid was just behaving in a way that was completely unacceptable. It wasn’t just bad table manners. He also said a lot of unkind things to me and DH, including saying my earrings were ugly and other things of that nature. [b]This isn’t the only time something like this has happened with one of DS’s friends, either. [/b]I understand that it’s a difficult age, but I would never have dreamed of behaving this way when I was in middle school. I always feel so awkward disciplining someone else’s child, though! Parents of boys, PLEASE teach your sons some GD manners, because this is crossing the line. Completely. Okay, rant over.[/quote]

Sounds like you’re raising a kid who gravitates to rude kids. What does that tell you?[/quote]

+1. This is a you problem OP. Why would your son want a kid like this to eat dinner with his parents? Something is wrong with your kid.[/quote]

Maybe the friend is lashing out in response to abuse and OP's kid is trying to provide a safe and stable environment. [/quote]

Maybe OP’s earrings are objectively ugly.

Did you buy them at a craft fair?  Was everyone involved in the making, selling, and purchasing of the earrings at least a little high?  [/quote]
