Had ds1's two 10 year old friends for sleepover last night.
Felt obliged as one of his friends' mums has hosted three and we hadn't returned favour. Anyway had a tummy bug Friday and felt very washed out all weekend, but went to bed yesterday afternoon to try and prepare, as didn't want to disappoint these two boys.
All went well in the evening, hired three films for them, all the family watched one, and then at 10.30 they went upstairs, were still rioting at 12 midnight. I kept asking them to simmer down, as I needed some rest and when dh came to bed he explained that he had to work today, whereas they are off school and could chill out. Anyway they did quieten down.
Mid morning, my youngest ds (9) came home crying saying that one of them had kicked him and strangled him (arm around the neck), and was quite upset. I confronted all three boys, my ds as well, but the accused wouldn't admit it, so I made it clear without pointing the finger at any of them I wouldn't have it, no apologies though. Later they have been crashing around upstairs, and at lunch water was thrown around the place. I have just lost it with them, they seem so immature and childish, and so disrespectful of other peoples' property. The one that ds2 accused has a new house, and I'm sure his mum wouldn't put up with it, their house is like a palace.
Anyway just wanted a rant about it, feel so cross, probably because I don't feel too good anyway.
