Manners (worlds biggest nag over here... but people compliment my children often on their manners)
Jumping on furniture
Sitting on Tables
I don't really have a problem with guns... but it depends on how they are used... I don't mind water pistols and I guess if toy guns were used I wouldn't mind because I think bad vs. good is important in game play. Its like bratz, I would die if Paris dressed like those dolls. But we've had those conversations, and she agrees that the clothes are a bit too revealing and wouldn't look nice on a little girl. But she still plays with them because she thinks they are cool looking for a doll. And the same would go for Seth and guns IMO there is no difference between a kid playing cowboys and indians, cops and robbers or spiderman vs dr octopus... the only difference between the three is that we associate the bow and arrow as violent, the gun as violent... but what can you ban with the last one their imagination? Kids will be kids! Its not about the toys or what kids play but how we as parents interact and educate our children. If Paris is playing in a way that concerns me we discuss it, and even if she's playing in a way I'm happy with we discuss it.
Anyway a bit OT but I just had to throw that one in
