[ - ] Your dc is having a playdate at my house and is playing with my dc in the yard. Your dc is hitting a young sapling tree of ours with a big stick, stripping the bark and breaking branches. I ask him to stop. He says, "You're not my mom," and continues whacking the tree. What would you want me to do in that situation? 19 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

tell him that mothers aren't the only ones who can help a child, or discipline him. Teachers, nannies, or simply the adult in charge. If the mom left the child with you, you are the adult in child. Tell the kid that and tell the mom what he said. [ Reply | More

call me and tell me what my child is doing and that you don't want to discipline him yourself any furhter without discussing it me, but you would really like him to stop ruining your tree. And ask me how i would like to handle it. If I do not respond the way you want (ie either I am comiing over or give you persmission to give him a time out) then you should ask me to come get my kid.

definately old enough to be following the directions of another adult. Follow the advice of removing the children from the yard, and tell the mother when she picks him up. I agree that you should call the mom sooner if he continues to disobey you. [ Reply | More

hybrid of above. First, take the stick away. Then explain the rules of your house. If he doesn't apologize and make nice, call me. I'll talk to him. (Short of hitting him repeatedly with the stick, you can do what you like.) [ Reply | More

LOL! I don't know if you have a store called Dillards where you live, but they have fantastic jewelry cheap. That's where I get that kind of thing. The one I got had big red glass beads on a black chain. I think it cost about$12. Just look at dept stores and Ann Taylor etc. Most of them have costume stuff that looks decent. You could go with another color too. Also, bring the dress with you and ask the sales people for help. Have fun. I'm sure you will look fab [ Reply | More
