Went to a pals last night, girly evening, takaway and natter. There were 4 of us there.

Her son..aged 13 completely dominated the 1st hour, by continuously walking in the room, arguing with his mother, shouting to her while she was in the kitchen at the top of his voice while we were talking.
He plonked himself down and just interupted every time some one spoke, he would start to speak to him mum.

Eventually, she asked him to go to his room, this led to another argument.
She just rolled her eyes at us, but actually didnt explain to him how rude he was being.
I KNOW its his home, blah blah blah and that we were guests in HIS home & all that but surely IANBU to be irritated by this. Would you be?

I understand that 13 is a difficult age and all that, but actually this isnt the first time i have been irritated by other folks little darlings interupting, dominating the scene and being a general pain with no recourse from the parent.

OBV wouldnt say anything, but i would not tolerate this from my kid at all.
Oh and there is no background stuff like depression from her or behaviour problems from him, i think that she thinks its ok and that we all adore him and think its sweet.

So, any one brave...or am i gonna get a flaming?

I'd like to see that boy's face if his mother butted in on his conversations with his friends.

Children should be able to accept that their mum has a friend round and that they are not part of the night's entertainment. The mother should have made that clear when they were young. If my son had interrupted like that I'd have made sure he knew it was totally unacceptable.
