I asked that they clean up their mess before they leave to help me out. She bought the kids Applebee's for dinner & they waisted the whole entire meal and left it here for me to clean up. My question is, how do I explain it to her in a better fashion. She's very angry with me. I just asked a simple question to her...help?

Your friend knows how her kids can get,Besides that,it's you house and you have the right to set rules for messy kids...There's really know reason she should be mad at you and if she was your friend,you would think she would clean-up after her kids before leaving...I think you are getting the wrong end ot the stick...If you sat her down and try to explain to her,i really don't think she is going to listen to you...Count your blessing and have some free time for yourself...

What you need to do is sit down with her and explain what's going on and that you feel you shouldnot have to clean up their mess from the meal, could they eat at home and then come over. tell her what else the new rules are and why you need the kids to follow them at your house when they come over

its all about respect and her kids need to be taught respect. and what you asked there is absolutley nothing wrong with that. if she got mad, and walked away, thats her problem. if the kids don't want to go by your rules, i'd send them home. let her stay mad. no big loss there if she doesn't understand.

You did the right thing, so don't worry about it. It's called respect and if she doesn't want to teach her kids to respect your home then none of them need to be over there.

Tell her that you didnt mean any harm by it, you just want her kids to clean up after themselves just how she would want your kids to clean up after themselves if they were at her house.

You had a right to ask, and, apparently, you asked nicely. So she's being irrational, defensive. Don't feel guilty. You don't need to do anything anymore.
