That's a paddlin...Destroy my family room. Board games strewn everywhere. Food brought to area of the house where kids should not be bring food. Pulling all the paper from my printer to scribble in.
All while their parents sit upstairs chatting away like they didn't bring anyone with them.
ah... your mini humans aren't well trained. mine was trained to obey me so I can leave them in one placeDestroy my family room. Board games strewn everywhere. Food brought to area of the house where kids should not be bring food. Pulling all the paper from my printer to scribble in.

Pretty sure its a curseI too know this honour...
If you're the one looking after them, it's entirely different. I shouldn't have to be looking after kids when I'm trying to host the gathering. So they (the parents) get to sit and eat/drink what I've prepared while I have to watch their kids to make sure that don't destroy stuff?They can't be left unsupervised?
I'm beginning to think I've been lucky with my cousins... and I have 28 on last count, so I've looked after more than 5 at a time![]()
Same thing.Pretty sure its a curse![]()

Ooo... Grumpy. I'm not really supposed to look after them, but they listen to me cause I'm the eldest so I just tell them what to doIf you're the one looking after them, it's entirely different.

Nope. I'd rather they just not come
All I'm saying is if you're not going to control your kids when you bring them to someone's house, don't bring them. It's not my job. You don't stop being a parent when you bring your kids to someone else's house. (Unless it's a birthday party.)Whereas the mini humans in our family have the pleasure of growing up in a family with a lot of teachers who have specialized in behavior disorders.
We were at family dinner one night when my nephew was 5 or 6 and I saw him leave the table and heard the door to my parents room close. I look at my sister and asked what was wrong. She replies, “Oh, I’ve told him that unless he’s hurt or something is really wrong I don’t want to see the fake pouty face. He’ll come back out when he’s sorted himself.”

Yup. Grumpy on this subject.Ooo... Grumpy. I'm not really supposed to look after them, but they listen to me cause I'm the eldest so I just tell them what to do![]()

And I don't play favorites. Both sides of the family suck when it comes to watching their kids.
*pets both of you* I don't issue warnings like that, I just do itSeveral parents have heard me say "discipline your children in my home, or I'll do it for you, and you won't like how I do it..."
To be fair they were little fucking shits who we smacking me and pestering my usually patient as a saint dog.
Thankfully the only time I ever really had any ignorant parents in the house was for a shower. It was a one off event with people who will never be over again. Plus, it was the summer so I just herded them outside which minimized any inconvenience or damage.Several parents have heard me say "discipline your children in my home, or I'll do it for you, and you won't like how I do it..."

This was during my "angry" phase so most of the family was surprised there wasn't a chalk outline one the ground... Then I smacked the little fuck... Who then went crying to momma, my cousin. All I said was I warned ya both...*pets both of you* I don't issue warnings like that, I just do it![]()
I salute your capability to issue a warning to the parents. I did not have that restraint.This was during my "angry" phase so most of the family was surprised there wasn't a chalk outline one the ground... Then I smacked the little fuck...

Luckily their father agreed with me... Especially after the 2nd one smacked my dog and my dog gave him a nip.I salute your capability to issue a warning to the parents. I did not have that restraint.
One was smacking a metal swinging bench that I had in my yard and had had refinished. Told him to stop. Didn't.This was during my "angry" phase so most of the family was surprised there wasn't a chalk outline one the ground... Then I smacked the little fuck... Who then went crying to momma, my cousin.

I didn't have to smack to get them in line, I mostly just talked it outLuckily their father agreed with me... Especially after the 2nd one smacked my dog and my dog gave him a nip.
He got a treat for that
Your pain amuses me...One was smacking a metal swinging bench that I had in my yard and had had refinished. Told him to stop. Didn't.
Fine, you don't respect my stuff I'm going inside and will drop your tablet. Suddenly he stopped.
Little fucking shit.
Glad there's some good to my being hereYour pain amuses me...![]()

Where's the fun in that?Well, if you both ever need advice on how to wrangle mini humans without violence, I can probably help![]()
They're too easy. Adults are so much more fun.Where's the fun in that?
