because the links arent working for some reason... But I understand where he (and most of you) are coming from.. We dont tolerate any attitude or rudeness in our house because its just not right to talk to people that way.. Especially a child to an adult... The way these kids acts drives me insane too, but when I say something to my neice about her attitude, she tells my sister I was mean to her... And if my husband says anything to any of the other kids, they do basicly the same thing, and we look like these evil strict people because their parents wont discipline them. Like for example, my little brother (who is 7... my mom did that late in life thing) was kicking the couch with his heels, and my husband asked him to stop.. He asked him like 4 times, and my mom just stood there looking at him. Finally he got so upset he raised his voice and said "EXCUSE ME BUT I ASKED YOU TO STOP!!" My whole family looked at me like I was the devil and he and I wound up in an argument.....

I didn't get to read the first bit of the question but I feel for you. I have two children that I expect good behaviour from. When kids come to my house I expect the same behaviour from them. It does seem like the parents don't want to make their children behave, I have to do it and i'm the bad guy. I'm so sick of people letting their kids run wild because they are too lazy to discipline them. It will turn around and bite them in the butt when they have teens.

Sorry, I have to say this first - no one is to spank my kids but me and my husband - ever!! Not your kid - not your job!
However, I do understand when other kids anger you because of their actions and the lack of their parents reaction.
I'm going to assume it was at your house, you didn't actually say it was. I also would have reacted the way your husband did. If it was at your mothers house, then it isn't your place to say anything, it's her couch. If she doesn't have an issue with it, what can you do - move to another seat and bite your toung I guess!
I have 5 kids and I also expect decent behaviour from them, where ever we are, home or out! But, at times kids will be kids and you just have to roll with it. It all depends on whats going on at the time, where you are, who's around - everything. It's hard to answer something like this. Each parent is so different with their own kids and can deal with so much more from them than from other peoples kids. Might not be right but it's reality!
Children "definitely" must learn to respect adults, but it goes both ways. Children, especially your own, deserve your respect back!

Well your husband is in the right and you should support him. If they are disrespecting your house then yes he has every right to say something and if there parents cant understand that then tuff. Yall arent the bad guys. They need to learn how to control there kids or they are going to be suffering in the long run. And i could understand if the kids werent part of yalls family but they are so you have some right to telling those kids what to do. And they especially dont need to be disrespecing adults in there own family. That is just wrong and any one that allows that kind of a behavior from a child is wrong. If it were my neice or newfew i would spank them. And there parents would agree with me.

I answered you other question. And if they continue not to do anything with their children, just stop coming around. And if they get pissed and ask, tell them it was either you disciplined their "little angels", or stop coming around because you didn't want to make them mad by correcting their kids. I can't stand being around parents who do nothing, but get mad if you do. Do you have children by the way?

The style of persons who won't be able to spell "Murphy" is appalling. additionally, in case you relatively desire to assuage the factor of Chaos, you need to bypass right into a fire domicile and yell "action picture." shop them on their ft.
