Catching up
My oldest has his birthday this weekend. We had a pre-packaged party at the bowling alley where he invited some of his friends from school. They had a good time. I bought him a Wii and a couple of DVDs as well. We all played the Wii all weekend and my arms are sore as hell.
Whoever thought it was a good idea to make video games that force fat lazy gamers to get up off their ass and move more than their thumbs? It's a travesty.
My son also had one of the kids from his class to the house for a sleepover. I tried to keep an open mind, but the kid is a little putz. Willy's mom didn't send pajamas, clean clothes, a toothbrush or anything. The kid smelled bad, looked like he hadn't washed his hair for a week and I had to put his shoes outside because they smelled like baby shit. Since it was my son't first sleepover guest, I tried to make the best of the situation and not embarass anyone.
I ordered them Pizza, Willy complained that it was cold. This kid has never heard or used the word's please, thank you or excuse me. Willy likes to jump on the furniture and incessantly yell: "What the freak!!! and 'WTF" . Willy's table manners are so bad that it makes me physically ill to watch him eat. I've seen rabid coyotes tear into carrion with less grunting and lip smacking.
My wife and I were at the computer Sunday morning, Willy came in and got on the other computer. I handed him a donut and a glass of milk for breakfast.
I was cringing as he sat at the desk behind me "SLUUUURRRP MMMMMM UHHHHHH, SMACK SLURRRRP HMMMMM NNNAYN NAYNANN."
It took every bit of self control I had to keep from telling the kid to stop having relations with his breakfast.
I'll tell you what, I was counting the seconds until it was time for me to take the nasty rude lil bastard home. The one good thing that came out of this whole situation is that now I appreciate my son's manners and behavior so much more .
This is one I made a couple months ago and it seems to be the right time to post it.

That's sad. You'd think the kid would watch to see what other people do and try to copy them. I wonder what his house looks like? Poor kid. But I can understand looking forward to getting him out of your house.
Been debating whether to get a WII. I need the exercise.
That's what happens when parents take the "don't discipline your kids- it's only a stage" approach.
Eh, my parents whipped me when I deserved it, and fussed when I did something wrong. I was a good kid.
Now you know why I don't let my kids have sleep overs...for some reason I think the parents would be upset when I duct tape their little "angels" and slap the shit outta them...
I don't get why it bothers them so??? lmaooooooooooooooo.
Other people's kids are perfect bastards sometimes.
I have to admit I can relate to this kid Hammer. I have to admit I was that little kid at one point and time. My parents didnt give a rap about anything esp after I got older. Hope things turn around for this kid. He just needs to be around normal people for a while and he will learn.Just when will he learn is the question of the day.
Sounds as if this kid really IS being raised in a barn.
When I was a teen, we had relatives from the Northeast US come and stay a while with us. Sounds like your guest's spiritual kin. Within days, my mother couldn't stand it any more and forced all the kids to take showers and give her ALL of their clothes. They had to borrow ours and sit around the house after their showers until she could wash their clothes and dry them and give them back.
After that she made them shower every day, something they had never done two days in a row.
When I visited them in Mass one summer, the made fun of me taking a shower every day. I didn't mind. I wasn't the one that stunk.
Definitely how the parent's are raising the kid. That's my $0.02.
Is Willy being raised by wolves? Or does that give wolves a bad name?
We are experiencing the same pains with our son's friends. Do adults parent anymore, or was that a trend that ended with our grandparent's generation?
It's interesting to observe feral children, isn't it?
oh man I would have had a fit. My son has to be about 300 times more well behaved in other places than he has to be at home. He knows that.
I've had people only send a pillow, and their kid sleeps in their clothes and wears them the next day.
But stinky I don't do, they have to shower. I've made most of my son's friends shower over here. Not necessarily because they are stinky, but I don't care that they play dirty. In the mud or whatnot. Dirt is for playing in. I just make them get clean too.
I don't do bad table manners either. I have something to say to the kids. But...that's me. I treat all kids that come over, like I would treat my own. Cept I can't spank them. hehehehehe
holy crappe!
i had to chase a neighbor kid out of my kitchen yesterday while his mother was standing at the other side of the counter - i just told him, "listen, i don't like another soul in the kitchen when i'm in here - scoot!"
sometimes you must be pointed with children - they appreciate it in the longrun.
Sounds like his parents need a good reaming.
Guess that's Willy's last sleep over at Hammer's house, huh?
The video. Disturbing.
Hammer -
Hope you spoke up to the parents. That sounds like a classic case of neglect to me. I feel bad for the child because its not his fault actually, its his parent's fault.

Did you relay your feelings to your son? Does he recognize the bad language and body odor as being inappropriate? Why didn't your son tell him to take a shower?
Our kids always liked to shock us? I think they thought it was funny. I was always shocked, that is for sure!
Is the kid Greek?
There's a shitload like him at our school.
Yeah, I'm thinking he doesn't have anyone teaching him good manners or hygiene. Who knows what the kid goes through at home, maybe coming to your house was like a vacation for him. Either way, kids like that are still annoying.
some people are so gross and then pass it to their kids
Isn't Wii AMAZING?! I pulled a leg muscle bowling on Wii, when Z first got his.
Spending time around other kids always makes me appreciate mine more. Too many parents are letting daycare raise their kids. They spend so little time with their kids, that they don't want to be a badass when they're with them.
My daughter had a friend over also. I couldn't get her to take a bath. Needless to say the sheets were washed after they got up the next morning. I find stuff like that really nasty.
1. A belated "Happy Birthday!" to your son!
2. I hope you don't enrich an Orthopedic Surgeon or Chiropractor from overusing the Wii!
3. Bless you and your wife for your patience with your son's guest and may the parents end up being investigated by local Child Welfare Services.
Veritas et Fidelis Semper
You got him a Wii?? Wow, you looking to adopt by chance??
The video was great, always knew that rotten little bastard was a perv.
I once wore my trousers over my belly button because my shirt was too short. Wait.....wrong blog....nice video. Next time, kick that kid.
God! You bring back memories when my son had his first sleep over....Went about the same....
I've met more than my share of Willys. (Hmmm... that didn't come out quite right. Let me rephrase... met more than my share of KIDS LIKE Willy. Much better.) I have NO patience for kids like that! Yuck!
Wow. That kid totally sounds like, uh ... me.
To quote an all time fav comedian and Movie- "Now I know why Tigers eat their young!!!
John
Mentor his lil ass Hamms
Children, I hate all of them.
Kudos to you for putting up with him all that time for your son's sake....but I'm sure you're avoid him if and when there's a next time huh?
And that film is just what one needed after that story....roflmaoooooo....very sick....but funny!!!!!!
..."you're my little ewe..." ahahahaha....
Peace
That kid sounds like a real piece of work. I hope your kid's manners rub off on him rather than the other way around.
I feel sorry for that little boy, how´s he gonna learn when the parents don´t teach him?
I finally posted about my summer in Istanbul.
Spending time with my kids friends often makes me more grateful for my own. Not always, but usually.
Is there anyway to get this video to the journalists in Iran? Oh nevermind- they would spin it...not sure how, but I'm sure they would.
blah- but funny :)
Table manners are my ultimate pet peeve. I'm so anal about it, even my kids now have this obsession. No smacking, no gulping, no banging teeth on your utensils. You deserve a medal for your tolerance.
Hopefully you and yours were a good influence on the little terror, even if only for a day or two.
Hammer,
Glad that Willy's bad behavior made your son's look extra good in comparison !
Happy belated birthday, boy.
Thank you and please are two compulsory words to be used ALL THE TIME, so when the kid doesn't say them approprietly, you say them yourself, to show him the way, even if he is your son first guest. COMPULSORY, no tolerance admited here.
Hilarious. What the hell have his folks been doing all this time? Dude, my folks would have booted his ass if I'd brought a friend home like that. You have the patience of a saint.
Janet: The kid is a poster child for a permissive upbringing. He is too self absorbed to even notice.
Jenafear: it really is exercise.
Avenger: this kid doens't seem to have any boundaries.
canadian: I'm not letting him over again. I don't think my nose could take it.
Mushy: yes indeed!
LBB: Yes I agree.
Tweety: I want to feel sorry for the kid but his obnoxious mouth makes me not want to. I hear what you're saying though, my best friend gary had some of the same attributes.
JAM: If it were a different day and age I would have thrown that kid under a firehose and put a scrub brusg to him.
matt: That's insulting to wolves who at least lick themseles ;)
qofd: They don't want to be considered uncool or do the hard stuff. the kids pay big time
bobg: From afar!
burfica: it was all I could do to keep him from throwing trash on the floor and stomping on the couch. I'm interviewing next time!
Nanc: I had to tell the kid to stop cussing and calling everything gay. After a while I just waited for time for him to go. Lost cause in my opinion.
random: last one ever!
flyinfox: the kid lives in a nice house and the mom is a teacher. I should have got a clue when she answered the door naked.
nickel: my kid wants others to like him at any expense and overlooks their flaws. I on the other hand corrected the boy when I could but realized I wasn't making much progress.
cathy: I don't think so but that's something to think about...
tysgirl: Yes he was more annoying than anything.
snowmanpoop: the parents seemed ok but didn't push their kids to do anything.
tshsmom: I have tennis elbow from it :)
h20: You basically have to force them to bathe which brings up possible legal issues...
Deborah: I can see it happening. The kid had a good birthday overall.
phosgene: yeah he looks like a sheep buggerer.
paul: Thanks, I will wear my ass kicking boots next time.
al: thanks for visiting. Sorry to hear that you experienced the same.
terri: lol good save!
dorky dad: glad it all works out then :)
john: If they can get past the funk ;)
fyremandoug: I may be forced to.
lex: good attitude, I hate em all but my own :)
odat: not sure I'm going to have any more sleepovers. Glad you liked the video!
scarlet: we can only hope.
evalinn: thanks I'll come check it out.
mayden: I think someone from Iran already saw it. I got some nasty comment on ahmanutjob being a hero and bush being hitler
kat: The kid was a monkey. I surprised he didn't throw poop.
kevin: I hope so although it didn't seem like it.
Annie: he gets extra allowance and a pat on the back for being so good.
Kitem: I agree. the child was oblivious to any manners we demonstrated. It's almost as if he had never been scolded for rudeness before.
FHB: I didn't want to mess things up for my kid on his birthday, but we had a LONG talk afterwards. thats for sure!
A belated happy birthday to your son.
And btw, you're too kind. I would have taken the kid home the second he got out of hand. It's a shame that his parents don't discipline him. He sounds like he'll be in prison in a few years...
I know it was a test of your patience, but good on you for being kind to Willy - it's terrible the way parents can ruin a kid and just let them rear themselves. Parents like that need their butts kicked.
That's hilarious!
I feel really bad for the kid. Obviously there is some neglect going on at his home. Your child has good manners because I'm getting you don't let him get away with squat and you actually CARE about raising a child that is respectful and has manners and you love him. I wonder if this other kid has people who actually care for him and care to raise him properly. :(
