I was talking about this in the Chit Chat area but thought I would also post it here. I have a friend who has twin boys who are now 4 years old. She is divorced and raising the twins on her own. Yesterday she called and asked if her and her boys could stay downstairs in my apartment as a pipe burst in her house. I cringed because these two boys are brats! They were never taught the meaning of the word NO and when they don't get their way, they YELL at the top of their lungs. My dogs are petrified of them and my parrot squacks when they yell. Their mom had to go to work so I was left alone with them for several hours yesterday. They asked if they could play kick ball downstairs and I told them no way. Needless to say they started YELLING and at that point, I wanted to play kick ball with their butts.
They decided to then go into every room of my house and touch my personal things. I wound up having to lock every door. I was so happy when my friend got off work and came home. She brought two pizzas with her and the boys started YELLING they weren't going to eat it. One of the boys threw a piece on my floor. Ugh...she went to clean it and I told her NO the boy would do it or I would lock him in the closet (I was only kidding) and the boy did clean it up. This morning (from downstairs) I could hear more YELLING and heard the boys telling her that if she didn't take them home right then and there they were going to run away. Sounds awful but I thought that was the best idea they had come up with in a very long time.
Thank goodness they are gone now and next time she asks to stay, I'm going to come up with some excuse to be able to say NO.
My question is do you know kids that act like brats too?
