[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my child is at your house, your rules and vice versa.  If either of us do not like the rules of the other house, then no more play dates.  Simple and easy.[/quote]

No jumping on the couch and put away toys before leaving the room are great rules and one that my child should follow.

This is tricky around meal times. If an adult is portioning out food and then saying a guest can't leave the table until all the food on the plate is consumed, that is not a rule I can support. [/quote]

I agree.

Parent of older kids here.

I have never been in a situation where a parent has required other kids who are finished to remain at the table and sit while their kid has a battle of wills about finishing their own food.

In all cases, especially at that age and at play dates, the parents of tue kid not eating tells the other kids to go play and uses that as leverage to get theor kid to eat. Or they go ahead and let their kid get down and play with the others, even if that means leaving food behind (they make them eat the leftovers though if other snacks come out or if they say they are hungry later).  Not once have I witnessed what OP is describing and what some of you are advocating.  That is messed up OP.[/quote]
