i dont like our neighbor's kids and they are constantly arranging for play dates with our kids. how do i tell them politely that I dont like them...

Just tell the mom directly. Something diplomatic like " I dont think this arrangement is working out for me." will suffice. If she gets bitchy about it then all the more reason to refuse play dates.

the best approach is the direct approach. tell them to their face that you dont like having their kids over.

What's wrong with your neighbor's kids? Perhaps you can talk about it regarding their parents so that they can correct this and then maybe they will behave next time.

hmmm... why dont you say no to the play dates instead? i think they'll get the hint after a time or two.

I agree. Im sure they will catch on after you refuse.

just talk to your neighbor. Whatever it is that is bothering you about their kids can be solved. if not then refuse the playdates.

I think you should have a dialogue with the parents. If the behavior you dont like can be corrected then I think the play dates can go on.

thanks guys! i think the kids are spoiled and dont know how to listen. it's my house but they disregard my authority. those kids dont know how to listen and I think this kind of behavior is "contagious".

i agree that a talk should be in order. i think your neighbors should know what's wrong with their kids.

just tell them no. there are other kids yours can play with.
