PiscesTeach Your Children To Be Good Guests
Anonymous: There is an art to being a guest in someone's home. Yes, you are the guest, and you should be treated like one. But if you want to be asked back, don't make your host wish she'd never invited you in the first place. You'd be surprised how many adults don't grasp this (we've all had the houseguest from hell, I'm sure), and kids ... well, now's the time to teach them!

I think if any child talked back to me like that my response would be, “I think it’s time for you to go home.” and send them packing…
I love this. A few of my daughters friends have pulled this and I was at loss as to what to say. I’ll be prepared next time.
ugg some parents just don’t know how to teach manners. My step daughter had a friend come over one day and when it was time to clean up and for her to go home, she just sat and watched my step daughter clean even after me telling BOTH of them to clean up. She is never invited back, nor is my step daughter allowed at her house!
Moopy’s right. That would be the end of it right there.
This is why people are such jerks when they go out to eat or go shopping, etc. When I worked at a restaurant, I always hated when a customer would treat me like a servant, like I’m less-than; sorry, it’s not going to get you what you want any faster. This feeling of entitlement is one of the biggest problems in our society, no respect or appreciation.
This is where I differ from most. I would invite her back but their play would be monitored and I would correct her behavior. If she were being rude and not sharing toys I would take the toys away and put them up.
If she was sassy she would go in time out just like any other child visiting my home. The rules and consequences are clearly discussed when any child visits my house for the first time and every time thereafter. If the parents don’t step in to discipline their children I do.
I will not have some sassy pants selfish child teaching mine that behavior is acceptable under any circumstances. If the parents of the child have a problem with my solutions then they have every right to keep their child at their house.
You make a very good point. It’s important to be a gracious and generous host but it’s also important to be a polite and grateful guest. It could be this little girl is just young and learning or it could be her parents have a sense of entitlement when they’re guests in other people’s homes and it’s rubbing off on her. Good for you for teaching her.

She sound like a pretty young kid and I wouldn’t be mad at her or think she’s more than normally selfish. I remember a girl like that. The problem was when she had friends over her mother told her she had to do what they wanted and give them the best plate, etc. because they were the guest. She was just being a kid.
The girl who visited you probably thought your daughter was terribly selfish and hadn’t been taught proper manners about how to treat a guest!
