And I've tried to be mindful of that. I guess there's always room to try harder.Amy Saiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00346366018143891761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317808419889516476.post-89589738831610132522012-05-20T16:06:55.396-07:002012-05-20T16:06:55.396-07:00Hmmmm....I wonder what the home life is like for ...Hmmmm....I wonder what the home life is like for those kids? Probably not near as nice or as structured as the life you provide for your kids. Poor little devils...obviously they are missing out on a lot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317808419889516476.post-63828288645005575492012-05-20T12:27:22.094-07:002012-05-20T12:27:22.094-07:00They came over today--without asking.

The girl was acting horrible, and I'm not kidding, and the last straw was when she grabbed a package of something she wanted to eat. I told her it was lunch time and to put it back--she'd be going home to eat soon. Well, she said no through her teeth and yanked the package away from me several times, and finally when she saw I wasn't going to give in, she smacked at the dustpan I had in my other hand from sweeping and said, "FINE." Oh boy, that has to be one of the rudest thing I've ever had happen to me. I told her she couldn't come back again until she used proper manners. I will not answer the door and my kids won't be opening it up either. Not for a while at least.Amy Saiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00346366018143891761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317808419889516476.post-19342658080458356682012-05-20T11:48:40.552-07:002012-05-20T11:48:40.552-07:00Julia was so right in telling them to behave.

I think that was great when you asked them for ice cream when you came to their house and then they reported to Grandma - oh Amy - a candid camera moment lol. You are a credit in the way you bring Julia and Liam up and they're really going to appreciate it when they get older. It's a shame their little friends are allowed to behave like they do - their parents/grandparents are really not doing them any favours.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08604864977387798470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317808419889516476.post-34128214661606509002012-05-20T07:13:31.124-07:002012-05-20T07:13:31.124-07:00I always made even my kids ask for treats before t...I always made even my kids ask for treats before taking them, and I NEVER allowed them to take food without being offered when we went out. I can;t stand it when kids are in my house and help themselves. I have a nephew who used to do that, opening new boxes of crackers, drinking milk from the carton, unwrapping new blocks of cheese. I finally told him he was not to open my fridge or pantry without being offered a snack or drink. I may be old fashioned because most kids do it.Razmatazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757164543598076420noreply@blogger.com
