The parents would have been getting a call and little "Susie's" butt would have been back on their doorstep. And she would not be welcome back. I was the "mean" Mom for my kid's friends too, until they reached teenager years, and they knew what to expect. Then I was cool, and this was the best place to hang out. I am more than willing to have as many kids here as want to come, and I will be pleasant and very accomodating. In return I and my possessions, which include the dogs, demand respect and manners in return. If that is too difficult, then go home, I don't need you here.
