[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh OP, I know exactly what you are talking about and i don't think a lot of people do. I'm in the same boat - there's a DC of family friends who comes to play with my DC and while they have fun, the kid is exasperating brat. Nothing crazy when you look at every tiny infraction individually, but in combination completely exhausting. We eat in the kitchen, he sneaks food upstairs. Lunchtime comes, he grabs everything on the table, proceeds to take a bite out of his stuff and messes up everything else. We order food, i refuse to to order a soda, he whines. Parent says no ice cream, he whines, gets one anyway, eats 2 bites. I take them to an outing, each kid gets one souvenir, he asks for 3, whines if i say no. Continues to play in master bedroom, when specifically instructed to stay out of there. Refuses to tidy up after playing. Refuses to take turns in games and follow rules, which inevitably leads to a fallout between the kids. And so on. This is an older elementary kid, not a toddler. I have no problem disciplining him, but shouldn't his parents do that? It's just so tiring when i have to non-stop enforce something that has been settled in our house since the kids came out of diapers. It has lead me to cut back on the contact quite a bit.[/quote]

OP here.  This is basically it.  Exactly what I was trying to say.

As an update, my DW tried to speak with the mom of the child at issue.  In short, despite a third party's account, she wasn't haven't any of it.  We're pretty confident that we're simply going to cut them loose.[/quote]
