how would you
this is not a smom vs bm post for once! but i'm curious, i have a friend that i LOVE to be around with an out of control son (8) that i CAN'T STAND TO BE AROUND. They were over Christmas day and i about went through the roof with him/them. and she is VERY aware of her son's misbahaviour, even says her self he's a jack#$@#$@#
she wants to get together for new year (us coming to their house), but i just dunno if i can handle him again right now. I want to stay home for the new year (for now) i want to tell her she can come over but dunno how to put it, that regardless if her and her husband are there, i WILL enforce dicipline MY way in MY home. he gets away with murder and my daughter is recently trying to act like him (she's well behaved) and i don't want her to start acting like him i've worked too hard to get her the way she is.
suggestions?

This is a tough issue, If you
This is a tough issue, If you want your friend over I'd invite her over. You are responsible to teach your child how to behave. You can't do anything about another persons child except not invite a friend over, question is is this friendship worth the turmoil her child causes? Like I said, YOU can teach YOUR child what is and isn't acceptable behavior and it may turn into a learning experience for your child. Maybe the answer is not having your friend and her child over and when your friend stops getting invites she will see that it's because of her child's behavior and she will make steps to change it or maybe she really doesn't care how her child acts either way NOT your problem.
that's what i'm going to try
that's what i'm going to try to do cause they want to stay at their house (we used to go over A LOT until we moved-weren't happy at the house we lived in before). since we moved they've made most the trips. i talked to the kiddos about it and they really dont want him there either because he is obnoctious (their words)...so may just tell her we're bringing it in as a family since it IS the first year everyone will be together (usually when we have my daughter, his 2 are at home during the holiday's)
