Your family/good friends and their terrible kids. (1 Viewer)

[comfortably numb]

I know i know my kids suck just as much as as the next kid but l wanted to hear from others.

My nephew, 8 is a terror. Really unruly.  Doesnt listen gets very physical and agressive with his parents and to some extent other kids he is around. Very destructive. Enjoys breaking your stuff etc...

Im not a helictopter parents are very laxed with letting my kids do their thing.

So needless to say when we get together with my nephew it's just a stressful situation as i am always keeping an eye on him.  So he doesnt go to the bathroom and pee in my waste basket again.

My son, 9 has his things but for the most part listens and knows boundries but when they get together, (when my son is not complaining his cousin is doing something bad to him) i notice he pushes boundries more often. 

A bunch of other factors as well with him (kinda makes me feel something is....off) but it makes me want to not see them soooo much more. Saddens me to say that but its the truth.

They ask us to go away with them and as we have in the past or go do something for the day and i almost have to convince myself to go and then its an anxiety ridden time.

We limit our interactions with them. We've never discussed it and im not sure if they have caught on but others in my family circle have indicated similar thoughts.

Anyone deal with this?

Mods, please delete if were not allowed to talk poorly of other people's kids

Unfortunately I think my kids are the bad ones, but not to the extent we’ve been shunned too badly

Speaking of other peoples kids, those people that work retail get the worst of all worlds. Their own kids morning & night, and then other peoples brats during the day.

My best friend's oldest has some kind of family history (wife's side) of mental illness and continuously made the wrong choices in interpersonal actions growing up...this from what I've seen but also according to his own mom. Fortunately, they live cross country, but I'm always nervous and on hyper alert when we all visit...tbh, makes me not want to see the kid even though I love my friend and the rest of his family.

My youngest neice is ADHD, also cross country but was a terror in our place when visiting. My own contuously impatient, frustrates and grumpy reaction to her kept them away usually. Not what I want either.

At least in both situations, the parents were very aware of their kids' issues and would try to manage them. The worst are the parents who just shrug and let the kids run riot. I'm generally not friends with that type of person.

We have good friends that have their daughter and her terrorist 6 yr old boy living with them. 

Although it's a pain, we put anything breakable away when they occasionally over.  The kids are too old to have toys they care too much about - though don't really want their stuff messed up.  I think the kid is ADD at a minimum - but he has taken so much out of all of them.

So my wife's cousin, who is only five years older than our twins, has two kids, a girl 4, boy 6.  They moved to Boise a little over a year ago. We had them over for the holidays last year.  The kids are so obnoxious and loud, that it made our decent sized house feel rather small.  we haven't had them back since.

My daughter lives pretty close to them, and has a 1.5 and 3.5 yr old daughters.  She refuses to take them over to their house and let the mom babysit.  She really doesn't supervise her kids well. The 6 yr old boy can be rough with the two little girls and has zero concept of personal space.  They will be at the store or some public place, and those kids will take off and the mom doesn't care to go after them. She just lets them go and hopes she can catch up. It's really odd.
