[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BIL had no business saying "my house my rules". Such behaviour is expected from kids and if I were you I would never go there to stay the night again. Out of line. [/quote]

No, destroying people's furniture is not expected behavior from kids.  Were you raised in a barn?

And the man who owns the house is perfectly entitled to setting his own rules.  I really hope you are just a troll.[/quote]

I haven't read every post or every comment, but to me this is also about teachings kids to respect other people's property. You don't get to decide the quality of someone's furniture, or what you can do with things that belong to someone else. If BIL didn't want kids jumping on his sofa arm, he's well entitled to tell a kid to get off it.

Sure, "kids will be kids" but parents/adults need to correct kids when they're misbehaving, and that includes not respecting the property of other people. It's a lesson best learned early with greater lessons to be gained (ie, it's not just about the sofa - it's the general principal). [/quote]
