[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your expectations are too high[/quote] Especially for fourth grade boys! Good Lord. [/quote] I have a rising 4th grade boy too. No, OP’s expectations aren’t too high! She expects kids to take dishes to sink, accept a no when they hear one from a friend’s parent, and not take gum without asking and leave wrappers all over the house. How is that having too high expectations?! 9-10 year old boys should be perfectly capable and willing (esp w a friend’s parent) to listen to adults and follow basic instructions and basic manners/courtesies. If you truly don’t think a 4th grader can do this then you are certainly part of the problem: a parent who doesn’t teach their kids any manners and winds up w unruly, disrespectful and inconsiderate kids who turn into rude and inconsiderate adults.[/quote]
