[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have teens. I think it’s uncommon for kids to be rude to *other* kids’ parents, ever, let alone at 9. Kids save their rudeness for their nearest and dearest. I would be very wary of your child spending a lot of time with those kids. [/quote]

I agree. My daughter is now an 8th grader and we host A LOT, including taking girls to our beach house for the weekend. None of them act like this. While I’m sure they likely roll their eyes at their parents (as my daughter sometimes does to me), they act unfailingly polite and helpful when they are around me and my husband. Just last night, my daughter wanted me to take her to study at Starbucks with a new friend I had not met. I was sitting at another table and my kid called me over to walk them through the plot of Midsummer Night’s Dream because I love this play. I thought the friend might find a mom helping to be too much, but she acted super nice and thanked me. This is how the 8th grade girls operate with non-parents.

Girls who are obnoxious would not be included in much.[/quote]
