[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The child is FOUR. You had to have an idea of his energy level before inviting him/his family to your home.[/quote]

Yes, wait a few years OP and you’ll be experiencing similar energy levels with your child. The real nightmare here is all of the adults. Your ILs should have controlled their child and brought toys. You and your husband should have put the pets out of harm’s way and spoken up. You should have locked the door when you were nursing. Some children become overstimulated in a new environments and act in ways they wouldn’t normally behave. It also sounds as if you don’t really like other people’s children. You need to be a little more flexible. We were in a similar situation with some friends recently with our two and four year olds, but they have tons of toys, so our children enjoyed themselves and had fun with their pets. We also kept an eye on them.[/quote]

This is how brats are raised.

If you can’t keep your 4 year old from acting like a terror at people’s houses then DONT bring them out. If your kids won’t behave without toys then it’s your responsibility to bring the toys. You don’t just shrug and say “boys will be boys” as they jump all over furniture and harass the pets.

I say this as a parent of 4 and 2 year old boys. [/quote]

Whatever you say, Sanctimommy. I didn’t say this behavior was ok. Try to read more carefully next time. I said the adults were misbehaving.[/quote]

The parents of that boy should have been supervising their child.  Op is a new mom with a brand new baby - she just got out of the hospital for goodness sake.  [/quote]

She had a baby. It wasn’t the end of the world.[/quote]

[b]You have no idea how the birth went for Op. But if she is sore and tired (like most new moms) she probably shouldn't be expected to ride herd on a visitor's misbehaved child.[/b][/quote]

What is wrong with people?

Do you really need an explanation why it was the parent’s responsibility to supervise their own child? The parents had ONE kid - would it have been the end of the world to supervise him in other people’s houses?

Are you always this obtuse? None of PPs said she had to be a martyr.[/quote]
