Some peoples kids......

LOL, you are funny, but there are kids that do just what they can't do at home... first of all you need to keep your foot down in your home about the rules and regulations..You should also let your grandson know that the "run wilds" are not welcome at your home anymore unil they at least learn how to listen...but what is your grandson doing while his friends are misbehaving???Thats the time he should speak up...at least that what I teach my grandson...after all they are his friends not mine, he knows he can't act like that and neither are they allowed.

Kids really act that way especially the toddlers. My son, 1 year and 10 months old, also act that way. There are times he did not listen to us and just keep on running. However, we don't stop on telling and teaching him what are no-nos. I guess that is a normal behavior for growing up kids. Just keep on teaching them the right manner in proper way.

I think to some extent parents aren't teaching their kids, but the rest of it is the kid themself - they are still young and still learning. It would irritate me, though, if a guest of any age was running around screaming and didn't know when to go home. Can you say right at the start that they are coming over for a couple of hours, or that their parents should pick them up at 3pm, that kind of thing?

your house must be more pleasent thantheir so they hate to go home maybe no supper waiting for them

I'm with you. Follow the rules of the house you're in or go home and don't come back until you can. No, people don't teach kids rules any more. I have a friend, she baby sits her to grandnephews and I can't go over there. It's so loud that I can't talk to her or hear anything. I meet her at the mall or something.

Parents don't teach their kids anything.

When mine were little I had some shocking experiences with their company before too. It makes you wonder if it is actually allowed in their homes or if they are taking advantage of the time away. I used to worry about the way my children would act away from home and remind them of manners and such. I don't like the idea of wearing out a welcome or disrespecting someone's home. I have met some parents and children that did not share my views on this for sure.

I know how you feel. Manners and behavior have everything to do with training. If children are not taught proper behavior and manners at home, chances are they won't be well behaved or polite anywhere. My mom is a school principal. She tells me that parents today have a sense of entitlement that they pass along to their children.

i see that alot here as well, i have kinda adopted a little girl lol well no two little girls.. there my neighboors kids.. the older one is not so bad, but the youngest use to get on my nerves she came by every day and talked up a storm, we nickname her story teller lol but she has 2 other sibblings a twin brother and sister younger then her she is 8.. and the other two are a handful but now i kinda enjoy her company , she made freinds with the other kid who lives across from me and they both visit me alot, and at time my door bell will ring at dark and it will be her asking me if i will walk her home, and i always do. but am wondering why mom and dad lets her stay out that late .. and i have other issues with them as well. they just dont watch those kids like they should.. the even let there dog run the neighberhood until somone called the pound and now he stays on a leash.. but i hope there doing better.. i have not had any problems in awhile with them.

kids are kids, and most of the times there are stubborn. i think it is just normal to act that way especially if they so much like what they are playing or doing at that time. BUT, parents should train them this early and constantly remind them about their behavior. i do have a son who is 21 months old and as early as now, we are teaching little by little things he should do and not do. we do not force him to do things and just make him understand to his capability what we are talking about. i think that is very important that you communicate well with your child and be a good example as well because they are looking up to you.

I guess some parents just don't care what their kids are up to as long as they don't have to look after them. I would not mind telling a kid that mine are about to have a meal and they will have to leave now. It's when they refuse to go or hang around outside that annoy's me.

I think they are loud and have no manners because their parents have let them and that is why their parents don't want them back either right away due to the obnoxiousness. Some parents are very lenient and others are the strict type, it's all in the draw of the cards, everyone isn't the same, sigh. I hope they don't cause you to much stress. I would not let the noisy ones over who stay too long then.

idk some parents just prioritize differently maybe there too focused on other elements for there kids not to be able to listen you never know nowadays or maybe it's just the kids for whatever reason

The parenting role has been thrown to the birds. Many parents do not even bother to know where their kids are. They also never ask them where they are coming from. I get annoyed with jumpy kids in my house and I kick them out anytime I hate what they are doing. Some even ask too many boring questions. Anyway they are just kids.
