[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had those neighbor kids. They broke so many toys-- with us watching in the same room. We had to start turning them away (also, parents were taking advantage of the free babysitting) and eventually, it stopped. We don't let them in our home- only outside play. You are the adult, you are in control. [/quote] I am going to decline 100% of the time and hopefully they will get the hint. They are everywhere though - school, our community pool, after school activities, school events, etc. etc. etc.[/quote] Don't just decline. Tell them WHY!! I would have no problem telling them they have been disrespectful in my home and broken my children's toys. Therefore we aren't doing playdates anymore. I would also tell there parents why. Believe it or not you can say this in a way that's not mean. Just be firm and honest. Stop the dance.[/quote]
