[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]

+1. I think everyone, children included, should be allowed to stop eating when they're full or simply no longer interested in eating - particularly if they were served arbitrary portions by someone else. OP's friend sounds like way too much of a harda$$ for my tastes. Battles over food are not my thing. Neither is forcing a small child to sit at a table and watch someone else get screamed at to eat under duress. OP's friend is the one lacking manners, not OP and her child. That sounds like it was a very uncomfortable scene and I would have excused my child, too. I'm sure it was upsetting for the other child to be yelled at in front her friend.[/quote]
