Brat

[teverheart2002]

I say if the brat is on my turf and acts stupid, if his mother doesnt do anything about it, that gives me the right to say something. I tell people this when they bring children to my house. Make them behave or dont bring them.

I wish I could be more outspoken. I had a baby shower at my house, cleaned for two days, my house looked awesome. (Keep in mind that my hubby and I don't have any kids yet-just 2 dogs and 2 cats) A friend of the girl I was throwing the party for came and brought her 10 year old son. He was suppose to stay in the extra bedroom and watch tv. I didn't see anything wrong with it, however the brat kept going into the master bedroom at the end of the hall (door was closed with cats and no lock) and opening drawers, he went through all the rooms and opened drawers and messed up everything! I was pissed and felt out of control for a while afterwards. I kept telling the mom that I had loaded guns in our bedroom and to keep him out, but she couldn't control him. Needless to say that is the last get together I have had at my home.

Becareful, someone might report you for whacking them in the head. Unless of course it is a figure of speech.

Thats the problem nowdays. Everyone is in everyone elses business. Punching a child is wrong, but smacking or whaching upside the head if necessary should be allowable. I had to lightly smack my 4 year old step daughter one time in a grocery store for throwing a major tantrum cause I wouldnt buy her a candy bar. One quick smack to the back of her head and she shut up. And it didnt hurt except her feelings. I smacked her ass alot harder. And I made her eat soap once because she was playing in the softsoap when she wasnt suppose to and poured it in a bathroom cup and when I had a headache and filled the cup with water to take aspirin, I got to drink soap. So I figure if its good for me, its good for her. After that she stopped messing with things that werent hers.

If she didn't do anything to stop him, you should have done something. Especially with loaded firearms in the house that he could have gotten a hold of.

Do you think she would just sit back and not blame you if her stupid kid shot himself because she couldn't "control" ker own kid?

Right on!

I tried to keep him in view and had the firearms in a place where he would not get to them, gun safe in the closet. I more or less told her this to intice her to get him under control since I usually have them spread around the house. I had put them away in case kids came over. I should have explained more in depth, but felt that it was a long post.

I just felt that I was the host and shouldn't be babysitting a 10 year old. I'm not good with kids anyway and not comfortable around them.

That is good to know.

That being said, the mother and child were both disrespectful to you in your own home.

If I was in your place, I would have made the boy come sit with the rest of the group and be bored rather than have him going through my drawers.

As the host you should not have to babysit a guests child, they should be responsible for their own offspring. Sounds as if the Mom isn't enough involved with her son if she can't control him at the age of 10. I pity her.

You really need to learn to speak up. These people are in your home should respect your rules and act accordingly. If they dont, then you should just tell them to leave and kiss this

Man, I Just Want To Say This Is A Really Interesting Thread.

Thanks, now I know what to do and what I should have done. I do wish that I be more outspoken, like I said I am just not comfortable with kids. Does that change when you have them? Is there any hope for me?

Good move, but I bet it didn't put an end to it.

I forgot about that.

Im not all that big of a kid fan either (I perfer little babies), but I will not let them disrespect my home. Dont be afraid to speak up. If someones feelings get hurt, tough. Make your kid behave. That kid would not have been in my bedroom drawers. If I had caught him, his hand would be hurting from getting the drawer slammed on it.

 

[Pete]

I forgot about that.

Do you remember what I asked you that day before I went in there?
