If your children are perfectly well behaved and kind, and the come to stay with you a few weekends a month, is there any way to avoid spoiling them?

Asked by Imadethisupwithnoforethought (14682points) March 8th, 2013

My female friends complain that it is mean to my ex-wife to give them ice cream and pizza and never be strict, but they are perfect. I tell them to play video games and they admit their mom told them not to play because they got in trouble the day before.

Should I be making up rules? Should I randomly punish them? Is this a crazy thing to worry about?
