This works for a second and then just like DisneyPrincess said, they give the evil eye and nanana look. The parents don't want to discipline because THEY will feel bad having not seen them all day.
I told my dcb (31/2 yr old still in diapers) not to open/close the door in front of parent. I received a side glance from parent not happy I was instructing child not to do this. Excuse me, wind chill is -25 do you want to pay my heating bills?
I have patio door, very dangerous to squeeze fingers in, and some even bang in the window Now obvisouly I say to the child, to not do that, cause to my surprise, parents dont ! It the summer they will lean in the screen door haaaaaa : If they break it, would I have the courage to have them pay for it
