[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If kids go into the fridge or pantry without asking the first time I tell them "In this house, guests need to ask an adult who lives here if they want something to eat or drink."

The second time I tell them "Remember what I said about asking if you want something? If you continue to help yourself you won't be invited back."

If they do it again they're never welcome back. My kids know they have "school friends" who they can enjoy playing with at school but aren't welcome at our house because they won't follow rules. Thems the breaks. Actions have consequences. [/quote]

Np. Two of my 11 year old son's friends are FREQUENTLY in our pantry and fridge without asking. I'm reluctant to say anything because I don't police my own kid's snacking - I'm lucky that he somehow self regulates. But I can't bring myself to tell the guest "Oh yeah, DS doesn't have to ask for snacks but YOU do." So, when I see these boys just opening up the cabinets and pulling out food, I just kinda cringe at the rudeness. (If I see them with something I don't want them eating I tell them). It's not that I don't want them eating the food, it's the weird bad manners that get to me.

I tell my son to please for the love of God ASK politely for snacks at his friends houses, never open up a cabinet or the fridge.
