on the other hand maybe its the parent and yourself who are in the wrong?i mean if you want to meet up to have a chat ect maybe you should do it in a child family area??if you dont like things being touched in your house then it seems cruel to take a child there and expect it to sit on its hands!!!we've all been kids!! This. Is the kid expected to sit in silence while you 2 spend the afternoon chatting? GL with that .. trust me, I couldn't last an afternoon, i've had enough after an hour of constant squealing, demands, tantrums and interruptions

My brother and I were well-behaved and brought up very strictly. There was one occasion when I rebelled. My mother was talking to a neighbour in the street for what seemed hours, and would not come home. In the end I deliberately kicked and scraped the toes of my new shoes. That made her shift! We do not have to suffer badly-behaved people in our homes be they adults or children. The parent should learn how to control the child. There is plenty of help available these days.

By the way, the child is 10 years old and I believe, now old enough to know how to behave when in someone elses house. If I was 10 years old and you wouldn't let me touch your machine or xbox when there was nothing else to do you can bet I'd have been pissed off as well =p Easy (read as: obvious) solution: Make a new profile on the xbox, sit the kid in front of the tv and give him the controller and he'll be fine for the rest of the day.

I think I'll just have to make excuses to not have her round when it's the school holidays, at the weekend or evenings when the child would likely be home or worse, brought with her to mine. I'll invent excuses that mean I won't be home if she asks to come round with the devil child. It won't surprise me though if the behaviour gets worse and the child ends up being the type of gobby teenager none of us want to have living next door

[Then what I find funny is when I'm about to leave their house or vice versa, the child gets upset and doesn't want to go or let me go home! ]
Seems to me you have a bargaining tool there... if the child gets upset when leaving you (this is a ten year old? Oh dear... sounds like classic attention-seeking behaviour to me) perhaps you could say something like 'Sorry to have to go, but I really don't like the way you've been behaving. I'm sure we could find a way of making things better so we can all enjoy our time together, adn you don't get told off all the time. How do you think we could do that?'
Ah well, a girl can dream!

What do you do when your friend has a child that is so obnoxious, you dread her coming with the child to your home? The child is rude and disrespectful, touches all the electrical stuff in the house ( telly, dvd, xbox, computer, keyboard) when they have been told not to, lounges on the furniture putting filthy shoes on the couch, whinges, screams and whines that they're bored, constantly interrupts adult conversation and is just very badly behaved. The child has insulted my (adult) children with totally inappropriate comments (which made me want to beat the child with a bat to be honest) I love my friend dearly, but am not sure how to tackle this issue and it's making me not want to ask her round to mine because her child really makes me very angry. Any tips on what I should do, or should I just grin and bear the situation?
your the adult here, So while the 10 year old is in your home its your rules, i would tell him or her to behave,or else he or she wont be back. worked for me once, i had one in my house who jumped all over the furniture and dissrespected the parent who couldn t control him. I put up with it only a couple of times and said enoughs enough. When you behave you will get to play the playstation or whatever. But made it clear he dosent behave like that in other poeple s houses. Thing is does your mate let the kid get away with this behaviour in the first place. Seems like yopur mate cant controll the kid ither.

try interacting with the kid, I had to go to my aunts every week as a kid, summer hols she had the cricket on when I knew that (why don't you and kick start) was on, the thing was she didn't watch it, she was outback drinking tea, I would ask her if she could put the kids tv on and she would bite my head off, so I would then play up so that we could go home, I was so bored there now I have the last laugh when she comes to mine and asks for the soaps to be put on " no I've got sky and s4c is so good" then I go out the back for a smoke.

I used to visit a friend who had a couple of Devil Kids.
Your friends kid seems to share the same behavioral traits. My mate had just got divorced and I believe that her kids had Attachment Issues and were insecure? They imo viewed me as a threat to their security, with their mum.
We are no longer friends and the above observation is made within hindsight.
I hated the horrid little bitches, evil little cows at the time but now i can see that they were hurting and that their mum was too wrapped up in her own needs to recognise theirs!?

Then again the parents should put there foot down.A kid should look up to theres not run riot.

And.....whilst im 'on one' and ranting....This woman also had a toddler that she would bring to mine in a shitty little ground-shaking buggy and whilst we were gabbing, at the kitchen table, the little twunt would be grabbing handfuls of my jigsaw and either eating them or shoving them down the sides of the buggy or throwing them around the kitchen.
She 'never noticed' and sat there looking gormless when i flipped my lid.
I got my revenge one day when I picked the little shit up from nursery. It was a uphill hike from there to her house and there was no way i was gonna push the little shit in the bone shaker up hill. Ha! Spoilt little lamb didnt know what had hit him. Twunt. He must be 16 or 17 now.....

Its not the kids fault!! Morals and good old fashioned family values have slipped over the last couple of decades,respect for elders and parents has been lost.
Not surprising when parents also act like spoilt brats in this "me me,me" society!!
More discipline required IMO.
Every dog has its day!
