[quote=Anonymous]I know how op feels. I've been in her situation before. The kids I remember doing this kind of thing were just rowdy & destructive. My son is an only child & we live in a condo. He has a very nice bedroom, and we do not have a playroom. He has a toy box, a table with boxes of loose Legos for playing and building with and built sets displayed on top that he plays with, and games and other play sets in his closet. Most kids that come over play very nicely and don't feel the need to destroy his room, but over the years there have been a few who have zero self control.

I don't think I need to hover and supervise a couple of kids who are 6 or older beyond checking in periodically, and most of the time that is fine, but sometimes it isn't. I've asked my son what happened during these play dates gone wrong and he described that the toy box was overturned and toys are being thrown, slammed into things, and just chaos. This isn't how my son is when he's alone or with most of the friends he plays with, so I'm pretty sure it's that kid who creates the messes when he is there.

Some kids just get very aggressive and take it out on other peoples stuff. They mostly get a second chance, but if it happens again they  aren't welcome back to my house.[/quote]
