Couple of weeks ago there was a knock on the door and a local kid announced "I'm coming in" when I answered the door & had to stop him.
I've seen this kid around & he's much older than mine so I thought this was a bit odd. (They've never played together).
The wife was getting the boy ready for bed upstairs so I told this kid that he was going to bed & perhaps come back tomorrow.
He was having none of it & insisted on coming in. I refused. I mean, I could have been home alone & this kid was adamant on coming in.
After he got the message he then started wandering around the front garden so I had to firmly tell him to just go home.
His mother, who was usually friendly with smiles, blanked my wife days later down town.
Weird.
Point is I guess, you just have to be firm with kids or else they'll take advantage...
