[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you set them up for failure? Are there things that they can play with - something for a large age range (legos, magnatiles, wherever).

Just out on a movie (made for all ages like Minions, Encanto, whatever) works too.[/quote]

+1 Did you do anything to prepare for 5 kids under the age of 12, or were you really expecting them all to sit and quietly read a book the whole time?[/quote]

I told them to bring their own toys because we have very few left.  We have a box of legos, board games, and TV with all movies under the sun.
One kid broke all DC’s architectural legos that were constructed.[/quote]

Yeah, it is tough, OP.  Some kids are not checked in on, and you now know you have to do that.  Too much work for you!

Do your kids even like or enjoy their kids?

We knew one family who had a hitter (old enough to know better, but never disciplined), and that was the end of that.  If these kids know that you don't want to watch them 24/7 (as you should not have to), then they know they can do WTH they want - and those parents will be more than happy to watch from the sidelines.

Hide your sulfur matches, or just meet elsewhere.
