[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP chiming in to say thanks for the perspective and keep it coming. I should say that the dealing with dishes is less alarming to me than the repeated request for screen time or to watch. Just another 10 minutes of funny or die. I just can’t imagine lobbying my friends parents like that when I was a kid. I was not nice to my friends all the time, which I regret, but I didn’t push it with parents.

I also forgot to mention all the gun play! I am realizing I’ve let my son get too far into this—I guess bc I never expected him and his friends to pretend to shoot each other execution-style and be so….well, I’m not sure what. Writing this thread is having me rethink some of my own choices.

And yes, I will hide the gum when that kid comes over, and if he wants some, he can ask for it! [/quote]

I have a 5th grade boy. IMO the kid was probably bored at your house. 
I’ve told my kids’ bff to always help themselves to snacks at our house. They should throw their trash away. I ask my kids to bring their plates to the sink, not guests. Smart ones will pick up on they hint and do it too. [/quote]
