HAVING THEM TO STAY

You have to put your foot down about how often. One weekend in four is the absolute max. The rest of the time, he can take them out for a day and if he wants to spend longer with the little dears, he can take them to a Travel Lodge. Personally, this wicked stepmother only allows Hans and Grizelda and dear little Cinders to stay a full weekend every two months. But if you get it right, they certainly won`t want to come more often.
A worm in the bed, a boiled spider in a drink, some of those furry sticky burrs you can buy in the florists stuck inside the arm of a jumper, and they`ll get the picture p.d.q.
Find out what foods they hate and serve those. Never have sweets, crisps or biscuits in the cupboards. Run out of their favourite drinks. Make sure that the radiators have broken down in their room. Little things like this mean so much - they will rush home to tell their mother how vile you are and make her promise they won`t have to stay over again for a very long time.
