DD has half the street's children over to play on the Wii which is not a problem and happens most Sundays.

One of the children is a little boy who lives across the road and I have just found him climbing onto the bed frame and jumping off, I asked-him if he is allowed jump of beds at home and he said no!!

I told him if he does it again he will have to go home to which he replied you can't tell me off cause your not my mum.

So don't invite him in! if he's not there he can't behave like that and then you won't need to tell him off.

You should have told him to leave there and then, rude little sod!

cjbartlett · 20/11/2011 15:38

I'd have sent him home for that

why are they round yours every sunday? the other parents must love you!

squeakytoy · 20/11/2011 15:39

If he had said that to me, I would have said, "out, now".

Clossaintjacques · 20/11/2011 15:41

I would have sent him home too.

Yes, why are you letting the neighbour's kids be rude to you, especially in your own house. I would have sent him home and told him why and he would not be coming back until he apologised for both his behaviour and his words.

Bloodymary · 20/11/2011 15:44

Another one for sending him straight home after saying that to me.

mankymink · 20/11/2011 15:44

Little bugger.

If he dares to set foot in your house next Sunday tell him there's to be no jumping on furniture or he'll be sent straight home.

WorraLiberty · 20/11/2011 15:46

Seriously, you know YANBU

startail · 20/11/2011 15:49

YANBU, next bit of cheek home he goes.

Where do you live OP?

Of course YANBU!

DoMeDon · 20/11/2011 15:51

'You have just been told off. While you are in my house you will behave or you will leave. If you say sorry now, for being rude, you can stay.' ... wait for apology... give up waiting... 'Time to go home now, bye bye'

As others have said, send him home - with a flea in his ear!

Bohica · 20/11/2011 15:52

Oh, I wasn't keen to tell him off but really? Jumping off people's beds?

They all end up at mine as we did the NM Wii test so have all the new Wii games and controllers, I don't mind especially as it's so cold outside now but I do expect better behaviour, i would be very Blush if my DD spoke to someone like that.

They are all back outside again now and I won't be letting him back in today.

Before he goes home I would pull him to one side and say, you know I don't mind you all coming round to play with DD, but DD is not allowed to jump off furniture so it isn't fair if her friends do. You are welcome to come again, but you must remember to not jump off the furniture. If you do I will have to send you home and explain to your Mum why you are in trouble.

Memoo · 20/11/2011 15:58

Wow what a brat!

He would have been banned from my house.

I'd have marched him home, but be careful - according to most on here, you should probably have patted him on the head and given him an ice cream Grin
