What do you do when visiting parent bring kids that are running up the walls creating chaos, threatening to break coffee tables with the way they’re jumping around, and making a mess in your very well kept house.
These parents have a home that is reflective of this behavior basically not very clean, colored walls, and chipped corners. How do you control this behavior in your home without offending the parents.
The parents are very sensitive to what you say to the kids and perk up if you tell them to play safely, and be careful. The mothers seem to get angry when their child is scolded and this is visible on their faces.
Their perspective is that kids are kids, and they are not old enough to know any better, age range of the children are 10 years- 4 years.
I will speak calmly but sternly to the child, and follow through with reasonable consequences. I have no problem with offending incompetent parents, no matter how well-intentioned they are.
Well yeah but the parents seem to make the atmosphere awkward if the kids are told to behave, they watch you like a hawk when your interacting with their kids because they don't want their kids to be get "told".
my cousins: they are well behaved, quiet and organised in their house. nothing is out of place and very well cleaned.
their entry to our house starts with kicking the front door, standing on shoe rack to ring the bell. Once inside, they constantly run, kick each other. Every few minutes they would want to drink water and spilling on tiles. they want every thing in the house and would scream if not given.
^ wow sounds like you and I come from the same family lol, except these ones they have the same behavior at home as well. How can the moms just do that just smile through everything. I would feel less blaming if they even made an effort to check on their kids. Ugh!!! Both sides of the family bring this chaos...
I would never touch anyone's kid but to give them a stern look in the face and tell them what they are doing wrong should get the point across........and if you don't hurt the kids.....parents really can't do anything but frown
we always tell my nehews and my daughter how to behave at someone else’s place. i feel very bad even if our kids talk in high voice to others.
i have seen many desis looking while their kids practically destroy everything.
once this kid started throwing bricks at neighbours house, his mum didnt even bother to look at wat he was doing…this was at our house.
another kid spitted in chutny, his mum mixed it up. (i was looking at; at someone’s house we went to).
kids aside, many adults do the same things.
this guy cleaned blood of his hand with our new suede lounge.
another gentleman had applied mustard oil to his hair, and that was rubbed to our sofa and the stain is still there.
Well yeah but the parents seem to make the atmosphere awkward if the kids are told to behave, they watch you like a hawk when your interacting with their kids because they don't want their kids to be get "told".
So what? It's your house. If they aren't doing what's necessary, you should. Who cares if they're upset?
