[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a very relaxed parent. You have to be with a bunch of boys or you will be yelling all the time.

OP, you were way out of line. You over reacted. You escalated the situation. Your child's behavior was out of control. If that infraction resulted in BIL yelling then I am sure there was a lot of wildness by your kids prior to that point that really tried his patience.

[b]I am guessing if he posted here his side would be very different than what you posted[/b], particularly with regards to her getting off the couch arm. I am sure she did not compliantly step down when asked, and the grabbing for her legs leads me to believe there was likely some defiant response from her coupled with her launching herself or running across his couch on the way down.

My kids would have gotten scolded by me after that exchange and then made to help clean or something similar as an apology for being rude to someone else's house.[/quote]

This.

What 4 year old thinks it's ok to stand on the arm of a couch? (Are some of you PP's seriously implying that if I invite children into my home I have to tolerate this? When I'd never tolerate it from my own?)
And if your BIL removed her and she calmly complied, then there would have been no need for him to be grabbing her legs. I'd bet she was being uncooperative.[/quote]
