Ok Ok i am not one to complain normally but why oh why did i agre to having kids round for tea after school.

[sunburntats]

Its torture, pure torture.

Only done it a couple of times before, ds is in year 2 and has only been to a childs house once since starting school.

He is a bit of a loner so want to help him make more friends.

So kid has rampaged around the house, they have had 3 fights and 2 disagreements.
Kid just sat down to lovingly made lasagna and said "whats this slop?"
Kid keeps shouting to me telling me ds is saying this, ds is saying that, to which ds is getting really upset saying that he hasnt said any thing!
sigh
just keep smiling, happy place happy place

I wouldn't smile! I'd tell him not to be so rude! Don't have him round again.

If you invite children round more often, you discover which ones you want to invite, iyswim. Some of them are lovely.

Actually, some of them are so lovely that I realise that their parents must think my children are awful, when they visit back ...

Oh, and I always serve fishfingers, chips, and peas for dinner.

They agreed to lasagna because Garfield eats it!!! I specifically asked the boys mum.

The other child we had was absolutely gorgeous and cleared his plate.

Thsi boy is lovely at school, his mum is absolutely lovely. They are quite different out of school arnt they.

ahhhhhh kid just said "i need more juice, wheres the juice?"
PLEASE...THANKYOU
I bet mine is like this when im not around

its making me cringe

DD once said to a visiting child ( when she was 5) No you dont Need coke, you need manners, you WANT coke.
I had to smile though it was a but cheeky of her

I would be saying 'what do you say?' when he's demanding juice, also agree wouldn't smile when he said slop, very rude.

Lock him in a cupboard by mistake

Fortunately most I've had very are polite or politish.

I hope mine are too ... (there's a conspiracy of silence not to actually mention when other people's DCs have been little shits, but i really would want to know. It's a bit of a conundrum).

I would correct a child who was that rude : "Did you mean to be so rude ?", and not be inclined to have them back that often.

ps - I always serve sausages or pasta

Just took him home...gladly.

Wont be asking him abck again!

I bet DS says things that could make me want to die a thousand deaths when he isnt with me.

i remember one lad who came over, and when I put the pasta in front of him said "that looks delicious". I nearly swooned with delight. No child had ever said that to me before ..... . I love him.

When children are rude to me when asking for things (and I work in an elementary school and help out over lunch, so it's pretty much a daily occurence ) I just say "I'm sorry?" as though I didn't hear them until they ask politely.

I thought DD's friends were really quite urg!!! Then she invited a lovely, polite girl round who ate up all her food, said how nice it was and played with DD for 4 hours with no cross words!!!!!!!

Not all children are terrible, but you have to keep going to find the nice ones!

DD is fully aware which of her "friends" are welcome for tea!
