If the neighbor's kid is over at your house and playing with your kid, do you scold him/her for misbehavior or just tell the parents?

Scold them. You don't want them to just think that no rules apply at your home. They are guests, but the rules that apply to your whole family will apply to them while they're in your home.

I would never presume to discipline someone else's child but would tell him that we don't do these kinds of things at this house ETC.

I'm not a parent, but I would make sure that ALL the kids knew and understood the house rules. My nieces spend a lot of time at my house, so this has come up here. I wouldn't talk to their parents unless the misbehavior was serious. Not just some little thing.

You can discipline the child verbally, explaining that that sort of behaviour is not permitted in your home.

My house, my scolding to give. If the kid doesn't like it, they can either not do anything that gets a scolding, or they can stay at their own home. If the parent's don't like it, they can either be there to monitor their own children or they can keep their child at home. I would expect my child to be scolded if needed when at someone else's house. Being scolded does not mean having obscenities yelled at them or having an uncontrolled rant thrown at them either.

The rules of my house will apply unless the parents have expressed that they want him/her treated differently. If he misbehaves too much, then I will call his parent to pick him/her up or just send the child home. Really all depends on what the child was doing wrong.

My house,my rules. BUT I am having a problem with my comfort level in regards to the trampoline and the soon to be pool!The trampoline is not on my property BUt I am still the rule maker(no one else does it as good as me,so they all say!)so I am limiting the size of kids and the timer is set for the neighbours.
