To send her home NOW!

[lal123]

Friend is upstairs playing with DD1. DD2 (6 months) is sleeping. I've told them to be quiet umpteen times, but they're STILL making a racket - do I go and send her home??

No, just get them to play downstairs. I have a DD that is 11 and a 9 month old DS so I know your pain but sending their friend home is a bit harsh.

I'd insist they play downstairs.

downstairs ot in the garden. They can't help it at that age, they aren't even aware that they are being noisy!

"they can't help it at that age" - did I mention their ages????

Anyway - DD2 was sleeping downstairs, with DD1 and friend playing upstairs in DD1s room (they are both 6). DD1 then came downstairs and woke her sister deliberately - so friend got sent home.

and [hmmm] at quietly cooking cookies or cakes??? Think I'm just pi88ed of because friend has been at ours every night this week and every night they have trashed DDs room. Was going to send them down to friend's house last night but "Mum's leaving brother to football and I don't know when she'll be back..."

All's quiet now - both DDs in bed sleeping and beer is opened

sorry - didn't mean to be AIBU by stealth...

calm down lal,

I misread your OP, for your DD of 6 months - I read it as your DD upstairs being 6 YO.

perfectly calm now that they're in bed And you were right - DD upstairs is 6YO
