How awful. I am so sorry about your bad day. Those kids are a reflection of their parent's lack of dicipline.

I have a friend like that and her daughter is very similar. Fortunately, I am very blunt and I sat with her and talked it over. I basically let her know that everyone including myself would cringe when she came over because she would let her daughter do anything and didn't discipline her. People usually would act as if they were leaving just so she would get the hint. I told her I cared for her and we needed to do something.

She was very hurt but I was being honest. She still comes around but now I have her permission to discipline the girl for her. The mom is at her ends wit and the child really does not obey her anymore.

When she enters my house the girl knows I am the boss and no, she is not going to get away with anything. She is the sweetest and most respectful girl in MY house. I don't scream, yell, or hit her. I have been babysitting her now for a while and it is quite a pleasure. At her house, she is something else......but the parents don't do anything about it but scream and she does whatever she wants.
