Not to want DD1's friend to gollop down two litres of freshly squeezed orange juice during an afternoon's play date?

[MrsSchadenfreude]

Why can't she drink squash like the others? Or water?

We always have this problem with nieces and nephews guzzling vast amounts of freshly squeezed orange juice which is of course vastly expensive. I went and bought a whole lot of small glasses to stop people puring themselves pints of the stuff.

YABU - when she said 'I want juice' you should have said 'certainly let me get you a small glass' and poured her some into a tumbler. If she said she was thirsty again you should have then offered water or squash saying you had to make the juice last the week for the family.

A bit at the chlld's mother who just sat by and let her daughter help herself to someone else's fridge. How incredibly rude.

at the update on page 4 - that child needs to learn some manners - i'd have a word with her mother about that and get it sorted fast. What a rude madam!

I take it back YANBU at all.

The update says it all really. What a rude little madame.

Wow, how rude
Is her name Hollie Steel?

How are you going to deal with it next week and the week after etc? Unless you never want to buy the expensive stuff again I think you're going to have to be more assertive (as the young lady in question clearly is!).

I would have expected the mother to step in too, because that's what I would have done at someone else's house, but it doesn't seem like her mum sees any problem with it.

If you didn't want her to have, you shouldn't have given it to her. YABU to have acted like the hospitable generous hostess and then to complain about it on the internet later.

Belgo - I think it's more like, OP was too polite to say anything while little madam helped herself from the fridge (especially as madam's mother was there).

A few years ago, we had a 11-year-old stay with us, who endlessly demanded Coca-cola (even for breakfast). Her mother didn't say anything. By the end of the weekend, she had consumed over 10 cans
She even broke our furniture by swinging on chairs. Her parents sent us flowers afterwards to apologise for broken furniture, but still...

Perhaps some people just don't realise how rude and demanding their children are.

I'm quite shocked that the 11-year-old's mum didn't do/say anything.

lol @ Hollie Steel
