Also that his kid is the reason I don't want to come over?
Here is the situation. His child is three, I believe, and they don't believe in spanking. So spanking is out of the question. My wife and I go over to their house to watch football games. Well, while the FB game is going on this kid will scream at the top of his lungs to get attention, jump on the couch, jump on me, stand in front of the tv, play musical instruments, and dance just to get attention. Parents once in a LONG while will say something, or send him to his room.
However if they're in another room you can forget about him listening to you.
In one instance he jumped on me. I told him, "please don't do that, I don't like it". He looked me dead in the eye and jumped on me again. So I told him sternly, "Garrett, what did I tell you? Don't do it!". His father tells me, "say it nicely, he's sensitive". Now this kid can cry on command, he could prob. win a oscar.
How do tell the dad about the situation w/out offending?
