Lets just say you take your child over to a friends/relatives house and you leave the room for a minute to go to the bathroom or get a drink and while you are gone your child breaks one of your friends belongings or hits their child would it upset you if your friend/relative told off your child and sent them to time out?

I, myself have no issue with a friend or relative telling off my children if they do something naughty and i don't see it. The way i see it is i didn't see the action and especially if its somebody elses house i think they can let my child know what they did was not nice and won't be tolerated.

My mum has told off my DD a few times, i wouldn't go as far as to let anybody else smack my child but a stern "no, that was very naughty" is fine by me. And DP feels the same. But i know some people are very sensitive about that.

So again, just a healthy discussion about YOUR thoughts. No judgements of others who wouldn't have a problem.
