Am I being mean?

[MrsSpeth]

So I have the nursery all organized and ready to go just the way I want it. Some friends of my husband's and I have two daughters. Their ages are 6 and 3. They want to play in the nursery with all the baby things. But not just the toys. But with the blankets and bibs and hats. Is it bad that I want to make them get out of the room and leave the things alone? They are climbing all over the crib and dragging the blankets around the house and I'm about to scream. Their parents are just allowing them to do it also. I'm so frustrated. I want my son to be the first to play in the room. Is that weird?

Oh youre patient the second they went in there i would have flipped.. not only are they mking more work for u they are also spreading germs onto your babiea things.. little kids have so many germs.. i wouldnt allow it!

Make sure you let the kids AND the parents know the dangers of climbing on an infant crib, that much weight can loosen things, especially screws, and you don't want one coming out and collapsing on your child, the things in that room are clean and sanitary, and when you let children play in there, (you know kids, they go to school, play on playgrounds, etc.) they may be carrying germs, and you do NOT want a newborn baby getting sick. I would definitely shut the door and let them know. You don't have to be mean about it, just let them know it's not a playroom, it's a baby's room, and it's going to be even more annoying when the baby comes and they were allowed to do that so they think they can when the baby is there.

I have to hide some of my sons stuff before my hubby's cousins little boys come to my house. They have broken pieces off of his toys and tried to steal some from him. Then when they leave its like a tornado went through his room. When I leave their house I make my kids help them clean but she never makes her kids clean. Then they are always begging for food and going through my fridge. It's rude of them and I deff. Say something to them bc their parents won't.

I wish I was more out spoken. But I did mention to my husband after they left that I don't want them in there any more and he apologized for allowing them to mess up the room the way they did. Now this week I'll be reoraginzing and washing EVERYTHING. Not a happy mommy but at least my hubby understands why I don't want them playing with our sons clothes and blankets. I wish more parents would tell their kids no in other people's houses.

Definitly nor, my partner will let his 3 n 2 year old neices fo just about anything and they like playing in babys room but im a grumpy mummy and tell the to hop out and i shut the door, lucky they carnt reach handle lol

I have a big mouth and I'm very blunt so u would just say "uh uh this room is off limits" simple as that. I could careless if I hurt the parents feelings. It's me that's gonna have to clean it up and fix everything again so I wouldn't care. The way I see it is people can either be adults and respect you for being honest or they can not like it cuz I'm still gonna say my part either way.

Explain the fact that you are in nesting mode!!!! and that is in fact something all mothers go thru no matter how many kids you have had it will always happen . it's your wishing room your goal room the cream dala cream of your creation with in you!! protecting it is something your brain makes necessary .

Don't be afraid to say something, speak up(: it's better to be out spoken than to hold it in because it's just going to keep bothering you & you don't need to stress. You are not a mean person, you are just trying to protect your sons things & thats normal. I would do the same, also preg w/ a baby boy. 7months (ftm). It's nice to have everything in place & ready. I think you should say something, good luck!

[MrsSpeth]

My husband doesn't understand why I don't like it. But the girls hands are all sticky and then touching everything its all going to need to be washed. I mean I don't mind them playing with some of the toys but the clothes and blankets.. come on! I think its rude that the parents aren't saying a dang thing. They are more my husbands friends so I'm afraid to say something to them because they will think I'm only doing it because its his friends kids. But if my friends kids came over they would not be allowed in the room either.

[Rubysf]

Oh no!! I would be so mad. I would tell the girls to stop playing in the room. If their mom can't control them then u should!!  And if she gets mad oh well she should have taught her kids not to play with other ppl stuff. I know my mom would not let me do that lol

[mamaellis]

Not at all... I would be the same way too.

[juniorsmommyx3]

Not at all. My bfs niece tries to climb on the crib and I do not allow her too. And if anyone even tried to play with my sons stuff, I'd definitely let it be known that it is not okay. Specially if they are running around with the babies blankets. I would be having a fit. If I was you I would install a lock high up where no child can reach. Therefore you don't have to constantly watch over stuff when the kids are around.

[lisaerin86]

Not mean at all...I would tell them to stay out of the babys room since everything is clean and organized and if they won't listen I would lock the door. I would never allow my son to go into my friends nursery and play around, its very disrespectful if you ask me!
