[quote=Anonymous]OP this thread will go back and forth between those who think that kids who ignore instructions in other peoples' houses should rightly be corrected and those who think that children should be able to do what they like without sanction.

The key thing is not what other people think but what you in your heart of hearts think.  It sounds to me like you're trying to make a case against you BIL to justify the fact that you feel aggrieved that something was done about your furniture climber and to explain why you overreacted. Drama already?

The only thing this tells me is that you're not a natural fit with your BIL and it's a mistake to stay with them.  So learn that for the future and move on.  That should work out best for both of you.  He doesn't want/has worries about kids climbing on his things and acting defiantly when corrected and clearly has a form of immediate consequence that you don't approve of and you don't believe that's the right approach with your kid.  My view is that people who don't play nicely with each other should keep a polite distance.

Endnote: you really should teach your kids to respect other people's things and other people's rules because life won't be easy for them if their response to not being able to do what they want, where they want and when they want is to cry and have mom go into panic mode and then solicit support on anonymous internet fora.[/quote]
