I'm a mean mom and proud! LOL <BR/><BR/>I will say though that my kids friends are all good kids and rarely do I have to remind them of our rules. <BR/><BR/>The boys know the rules too when going to other people's homes and I always encourage the parents (99.9% are friends of mine) to tell my boys their house rules, so there's no questions.Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02932007213063890925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2274277197817991964.post-41001131280974321252008-10-18T20:02:00.000-05:002008-10-18T20:02:00.000-05:00We were taught the same and I always told my kids ...We were taught the same and I always told my kids that, but you're right we've had some come over that just didn't understand rules because they have none at home. Needless to say those weren't invited over again. Glad you survived.<BR/>Take care, ChrissieChrissie a.k.a.

But when their friends were at our house, no way was the favor returned. They would trash the place. I would tell them to clean up. The friends never did so I would make my kids do it. If their friends didn't help, too bad. It would aggravate the daylights out of me. I know how you're feeling...HUGSChris/cacklinrosie101https://www.blogger.com/profile/13073996308086754638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2274277197817991964.post-71515943055684514782008-10-17T17:35:00.000-05:002008-10-17T17:35:00.000-05:00ur right, thats just wrong. u dont go over other p...ur right, thats just wrong. u dont go over other ppls house and mess up and not clean up, those boys are old enough to know better.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02759436853599948246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2274277197817991964.post-11966520467957120312008-10-17T17:33:00.000-05:002008-10-17T17:33:00.000-05:00I agree with you, seems our childrens generation o...I agree with you, seems our childrens generation of kids do not have manners and have no respect. My daughter got grounded for talking back to me and the way her friends were commenting about it, you think I beheaded her or something. Well the way I see it, they should be glad I'm not their mother. My kids say please and thank you. Clean up after themselves and pay the consequences when they step out of line. My girls also have to write by hand Thank You notes when they have received a gift etc. My own niece emails me to Thank me for gifts, I just find it impersonal. But that is just me. Have a great weekend!
