Oh, the action around here!
Out of everyone on our street I have the most kids, which leads to the most *kids friends* coming in and out of the house during the day, especially on the weekends. I don't mind, I love that the kids enjoy being here and I'll gladly share the fre...
I have not figured out how to deal with it yet, but I have a 7 year old autistic son (will be 8 in 2 days) and the neighbor kids come over wrestling around a lot with him. It always goes okay until he finally lashes out and nails one of them with ...
OMG! The 2 twins that live next to us are totally out of control. They totally ignore their mother, throw things at her, run away from her when she tries to correct them. They will not look at her when she talks to them. Absolutely no respect for ...
Thanks for all of the advice. Meanwhile I have been doing a combination of some of these things. After explaining the rules and sending him home a few times, the kid has started to behave a bit better at my house. I still find myself telliing him ...
As everyone else has said, don't deal with it, send them home. You set the rules for your home. Consistency is key. What's really a problem is a mom who doesn't believe her children do anything wrong, but that's another discussion.
This is just a matter of setting the expectation of what appropriate behavior at your house looks like. Before you even let them in, I mean right at the door. Tell them they are welcome, but at my house there is a code of conduct. I like using tho...
LOL. I like the 1 hr. rule to call parents posted below.
I have a friend in the same situation. She treats the neighbors kid exactly as she would her own. If the kid is rude, she tells him that that behaviour is unacceptable in this house. If the kid opens up her fridge and takes food out, she asks him ...
I have experienced this myself and I can tell you that those kids dont come over much anymore. My best advice would be to be consistant about how you handle things. Talk with your own kids about how important it is to behave at home and away from ...
I would take the kid home and explain to the parents why! (nicely of course) Although, I am a little more bold than some. But I would not be tolerating the rules being broke in my home. It doesn't set a good example for your kids to tolerate such ...
We have experienced the gamut of naughty neighborhood kids. It kind of depends on the level of bad behavior for me. If and when I send them home, I just say that it's time for everyone to play on their own for a while. If it has escalated to the p...
we are just having to deal w/ this as a new kid moved in next door and he is 3 yrs older than my son so to start I have that excuse but I have no problem telling him he can't come over, but realized it is going to be a continued problem over the s...
Your house rules should be told to both the parent and child so the parent can reinforce them before their child comes over. For example, in our house there is no jumping on the furniture in the living room, there is plenty of other rooms for that...
I lived on a corner where there were 20 children - yes, 20 and needless to say it was the hang-out for all other neighborhood kids. We quickly became known as "kid's corner"! My sister called my house Grand Central Station and said I needed a revo...
Does anyone else have to deal with bratty neighbor kids hanging out at their house? What do you do? Do you deal with the kid as best you can or send them home? I need some advice, please help
