When I was a child , my mum banned my friend from the house after he scribbled on their bed.

I banned DD's grotty BF from our house when he was violent towards her.

DisplayPurposesOnly · 10/05/2019 16:35

I uninvited someone from a house party because she'd shagged my boyfriend Grin

(Clearly I should have dumped the boyfriend too but that took me another 18 months.)

Justmuddlingalong · 10/05/2019 16:36

Not yet. But it's coming.

Hiddenaspie1973 · 10/05/2019 16:38

Yeah. I've banned SIL cos she's a vindictive loon.

I banned ds's 'gf' from our house. Ds dumped her soon after. She was abusive to him and disrespectful in my home.

OnlineAlienator · 10/05/2019 16:40

Yeah, a crazylady i barely knew who cut my 3yo DDs hair without asking (under the care of my MIL) who then flipped out and called ME crazy while frothing at the mouth!

FloraMcDougall · 10/05/2019 16:40

Yup my bil but instigated by DH. We both agreed as he’s a cunt.

scaryteacher · 10/05/2019 16:43

Mil is banned, and I am not keen on having dbil's new much younger model step over my threshold either, as his lovely ex has been part of the family for longer than I have, so in excess of 35 years.

I banned one of DHs friends from the house after a horrific evening watching him get drunk and become progressively more racist, sexist and aggressive. I think my exact words were "I can't stop you being friends with him, but he's not to come into my house"
I think it was a wake up call for DH as he did drop him shortly afterwards.
I wouldn't ban DC's friends for childish transgressions like scribbling on something.
I was the "naughty friend" to a couple of my pals as a kid and it did hurt to know I wasn't liked by their parents.

teyem · 10/05/2019 16:45

No. I would but I haven't had cause to.

NicoAndTheNiners · 10/05/2019 16:47

I banned my mother years ago. I was poorly in hospital and she came to keep an eye on 11yo dd for an hour and made dd cry by being so nasty.

After a year we let her back in and six months later she let my dogs run out the front door and onto the main road on purpose and stood there and watched me chase the two dogs about and didn't help catch them. I haven't spoken to her in about 7 years after that!

Whatamistakewhatamistake · 10/05/2019 16:48

Wish I could ban my selfish spoilt step kids but that’s frowned upon!

WhatOnPlanetEarth · 10/05/2019 16:48

MIL is banned

Which is amazing cause it’s her house, really 😂

MoreCookiesPlease · 10/05/2019 16:51

@WhatOnPlanetEarth Ok, so you have to elaborate...

RossPoldarksWife · 10/05/2019 16:51

My sisters new boyfriend. He’s a lying, sneaky & a layabout sponging off her.

Mayalready · 10/05/2019 16:54

Mil been banned for over 4 years. Bliss

krustykittens · 10/05/2019 16:54

I did ban one of my DD's friends as their behaviour was appalling. Thankfully, they are no longer friends.

pink412 · 10/05/2019 16:55

Yes a neighbour we took a package in for them. Had it in the kitchen they let themselves in to get it and found them walking around hour houses. They got kicked out then started reporting us for all kinds all of which was incorrect the police and council in the end took no notice of them. They moved to another area. Then to UAE (deportee) then Australia (deported) no idea where they are now buy jail would be my best bet

sparepantsandtoothbrush · 10/05/2019 16:58

I banned one of DD's friends from primary. She was vile to DD in y6 and really ruined her last year at primary school (they were best friends before that). Now they're slowly becoming friends again at secondary and DD has asked if the girl can come over but I keep making excuses. I know it's not great behaviour on my part but I keep thinking of how badly DD was affected by it all and can't forgive the girl even though she's only 12 Blush

NormHonal · 10/05/2019 16:59

I’ve hosted some play dates for a few friends of the DCs who I’ve resolved to never invite again, although “ban” is a little harsh. I prefer “not inviting again until hell freezes over”.

yumscrumfatbum · 10/05/2019 17:01

I told DH that one of his friends was not welcome in our house. He was unbelievably rude to me on a night out, it was the first time I had met him. DH suggested we use him to do some work on our house. Nope!

Bluntness100 · 10/05/2019 17:03

No, I've never had cause to and I hope never to have.

Drogosnextwife · 10/05/2019 17:05

I have banned one of my DS's friends from the house because he did something very inappropriate. I actually really wanted to post here for advice on what to do, but it would be very outing.

CarolDanvers · 10/05/2019 17:05

My ex H. We were pretending to be all amicable and "it's best for the kids of we are friendly" but he was just using it to be aggressive and make comments about it still being his roof. I told him that he shouldn't turn up at the house again because he wouldn't be allowed in again. Massive fuss but I stuck to my guns despite the occasional plaintive "well I'd love to play Mario Kart with you but mum won't let me in the house anymore Sad".

Hmm
ShinyRuby · 10/05/2019 17:09

No official bans but quite a few 'never again' bans that I haven't actually said out loud but made inside my head & stuck to! A friend of dds who was downright rude to me & horrible to her before pretending to break her leg for attention (she hadn't of course).Plus a neighbour's dd who used appalling racist language before accusing my dd1 of trying to kill her (her words & ridiculously untrue!) & then 'forgetting' she had dds much loved little doll in her hand when she went home. Got a few relatives I wouldn't mind officially banning but probably couldn't get away with it unfortunately.
