My daughter has a friend that is a complete moron and a liar. One of her other friends has made out with another girl. See what I'm up against? I won't stand for it. I blame it mostly on the parents of the girls. Very bad background.
Hey man, to each his own. If one of her friends is into chicks, there's nothing you can do about that. I'm not just saying that because guys love watching 2 chicks get it on, I'm saying that because it happens whether you want it to or not.
I HATE other people's kids. I know my children, I know how they act, and they know the rules of the house. Other kids have different rules at home, some of them have no rules, and it's a pain in the ass when you have kids over that think they can do whatever they want because they do just that at home.
Occasionally we watch the neighbor's kids, their son is 5 and their daughter is 2. Their son gets away with murder at home, I can hear him all the time running across the house and he bosses his mother around. We won't stand for it here, and he's learned to have some manners when he's over. The last time they were over here, I had to tell him that we don't run in the house here. He said "but at home I can." I told him I don't care what he does at home, when he's here, he doesn't run in the house. About 10 minutes later I had to tell both of our kids that if they ran across the house again, they'd go to their rooms, and I told the neighbor's kid if he did it again, he'd go sit in the corner for a while. He finally realized I meant business when I said something, and he was more respectful after that.
The best one was about 2 years ago. Daughter had a friend spending the night. They were all in the kitchen eating and the friend was kneeling in the chair and half over the table. I asked her to please sit down because in our house, we sit down at the table, not lay halfway across it. She says, "this isn't my house, so I don't have to follow the rules." I was on the verge of losing it, but kept my calm and said, "that's right, this isn't your house, but we have rules here, and if you don't want to follow them, I'll call your mother and have her come pick you up and take you home." I've never seen a kid apologize so quick before
Ever since then, every time she's over, she's very respectful of our rules.
