I like your attitude. I agree with you 100%- I have 5 kids myself, but that doesnt mean I wanna deal with someone elses kid(s). My kids are well trained when it comes to the animals. The minute someone elses children show up, I let the parents AND the kids know in no uncertain terms- STAY OUT OF THE CHICKEN PEN AND PASTURE. Period, no excuses. It helps when I tell the parents that their kids will get poo AAAALLLLL over there pretty shoes, they tend to keep those kids faaarrr away from the bird area!
Sometimes I just say, 'My chickens are very rare and expensive, and I wouldnt want any accidents to happen that would cost you alot of money'. (of course they are just regular chickens, but they are very special to me, so that makes them priceless to me)
Of course I have threatened my hubby with death and other less desireable punishments if he lets ANYONE inside the coop area. Its just not allowed. So far, he's still with us
You are funny!!! Ken is the same way - stay out!!!! But neither of us were home. I swear, we refuse to go on a long vacation without changing the locks and sending the kids to Pakistan.
I petsit for my neighbors when they leave town. None of their kids have keys to their house--intentionally.
