Choose which of your kids freinds can come over for a sleep over very carefully.
I just had 24 hours of a spoilt brat running through my house thinking she can help herself to any thing she wants. Including my primary business computer and fridge.

I like to think she went home having learnt some valuable life lessons.

Next time I will be asking "can I smack your child if he/she is being a little shit!?"

kids kids kids and even more of 'em
I'm going to do that (ask if I can smack, etc.) next time a mate with kids visits - will ask that at the door prior to entry. If told no, will then tell them to bugger off.

Yesterday, an impromptu visit from a mate of a mate with her two boys (2 and 4), at 4.30pm - my place doesn't have kids and there are no kid toys, the kids were hungry so I offered them food but, alas, I didn't have a McDonald's takeaway in my kitchen so everything I suggested was greeted with "no", and Mum was happy to sit back and have me run around after them, making sure they didn't wander onto the main road outside my place.

I found balls (maybe not mine, but they did come in useful - probably the leftovers from an ex-) and ended up asking her to take the brats and herself home after 45 minutes.

For fuck's sake, if you've got brats and go visiting people without any, make sure they're fed, make sure they behave, bring something to keep them occupied, and clean up any fucking mess they create.

Don't get me wrong - I like kids - no, I like kids who have been taught manners or who are actually looked after by their parents when they visit other people's places.
