[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry my house is not a playground.

Since one neighbor kid broke my son's gaming headphones, another one spilled juice on the carpet and one "borrowed" a sports Jersey I gave up on having a bunch of kids over.

I find disrespectful when kids come into our pantry and help themselves to our groceries/school snacks.

The good thing is as they gotten older they are more selective with their friendships.

For those parents who let their kids go other peoples' home for countless hours everyday, please teach them good manners when "hanging out" at other people's home.[/quote]

Kids will not want to hangout at your house.  You are too uptight.[/quote]

I should let them destroy my house... ok got it![/quote]

I’m the person whose mom was too uptight for my house to be fun. It’s not about being absent or letting kids destroy your house - it’s how you react to the inevitable things that happen when kids get together. You can express displeasure, set boundaries, and hold kids accountable all while still making them feel welcome and not embarrassing your kid. I know because lots of friends’ parents figured it out - but mine never did and she is just as annoying at my kids (her grandkids’) parties and activities now. [/quote]
