I HAVE FRIENDS THAT I HAVE KNOW FOR OVER 30YRS, NOW THE LITTLE GIRL FROM BACK WHEN HAS HER OWN CHILDREN WHO ARE NOW 10 AND 14. IT SEEMS THAT MOST KIDS NOW DAYS ARE VERY SPOILED AND HAVE A SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT. THESE KIDS ARE NO EXCEPTION...I LOVE THEM DEARLY. THE PROBLEM IS THE MOM AND GRANMOTHER WHO ENABLE THIS BEHAVIOR. SHE WANT'S TO TAKE THEM EVERYWHERE...THE KIDS WHINE, PICK ON EACH OTHER. MY FRIENDS GET STRESS EASILY OVER THIS. I'VE LEARNED TO NOT MENTION WHEN I'M GOING SOMEWHERE CAUSE SHE WANT'S TO BRING THEM. I'D LIKE "ADULT ONLY TIME". SHE DOES'NT SEEM TO GET THAT? NOW I SLIPPED AND MENTION GOING OUT OF TOWN...SHE ASKED IF THEY COULD TAG ALONG? I CAN'T TELL THEM WHERE THEY CAN AND CAN'T GO. THE THING IS IT'S FOR MY BROTHER'S SON'S BIRTHDAY. I KNOW MY BROTHER WOULD BE **** IF HE HAD TO DEAL WITH THE KIDS AND COULD ELIVATE THIS BY TELLING THEM SOMETHING WHICH HE HAS DONE IN THE PAST WITH ANOTHER BROTHER'S KID. I'D LIKE TO KNOW "HOW TO TELL HER THAT THE KIDS ARE NOT WELCOME?
