to tell off two children aged 7 and 10

[WinkyWinkola]

for making vomiting noises over the meal I've just made them?

I was astounded that they could be so rude. Their dad, my brother, didn't say anything apart from that they're fussy eaters.

They were amazed when I told them not to be so bl**dy rude. It was beef stew and rice. Then the next meal was fish fingers, sweet potato mash and steamed carrots as I couldn't be bothered to do anything else for them. The vomiting noises came out again.

Well done. I never have the nerve to tell off other peoples' kids I just moan afterwards. If their dad won't tell them then I'm glad you did. My kids never like anythign I do for them but they'd never go so far as to make vomiting noises

LOL TREBUCHET - there are lots of things in the bible you wouldn't want your kids to do

YANBU, well done

only came onto check whether it was my 7 and 10 year old, phew.

I can not beleive your brother did not tell them off.

Also I would have let them go without not cooked something else for them... If fact I would have dumped the stew over their ungreatful little heads.

My 2 year old wouldn't get away with that. YANBU.

There's bloody in the bible, there's bloody in the book, and if you don't believe me then have a bloody look

As my late nana would say.

Have you considered doing a 'historical meal'. I used to look after friends kids who were unbearably rude - they grumbled about everything and I am good cook (apparantly) [humble emoticon]. I said would they like a 'historical meal' from the 1970's (when I was young). They were ridiculously keen so they had Fray Bentos tinned Steak and Kidney puddings, tinned mixed veg., Smash and Butterscotch Angel Delight. But then what did they expect - my Mum was a feminist who would leave me with my Dads socks to darn whilst she was at CND meetings (really). They never complained about anything I gave them again; apparantly you can now get Spam fritters in the freezer section - now that would be really authentic...

hello and good for you, yanbu. It's being guests at a table and doing the vomiting noises, which really does it for me.
Don't be put off by being told you have no sense of humour by family who are used to this! It's one thing to say you don't like something but this is terribly bad manners. I mean even if children are allowed to get away with it at home and with parents, perhaps as a kind of family joke, they need to know it's a horribly rude thing to do as guests. As guests!
Yes, they are old enough, about five years beyond old enough.
