[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 118706, member: 2459"] Now that it is starting to be an issue, I like the idea of talking to your difficult child ahead of time and discussing the rules. In our case, difficult child can have anyone in his room that he wants. But the door stays open at all times. And not just cracked, but all the way open. For us though, that's enough as we have a small house and his room is right off of the main living area. But we also have a rule that no one is allowed over unless either husband or I are here. Granted, that one is harder to enforce but I've always let the kids (all boys fortunately in our case) know about it when I've caught them and they've been pretty cooperative. (And I make sure I let the parents know too so the boys can't pull one over on them) Nothing is sure fire of course but that's worked fairly well for us. I would just set the rules that work best for your house and expectations. Such a fun age isn't it! [img]:hammer:[/img] [/QUOTE]
