    If your friend asks you to make a sandwich or go out for a minute, make sure you ask her or his parents first.
    • The most easiest and important part of making your friend's parent like you is using your manners. Always remember to thank them if they give you things to eat and say please before you ask for something. Parents will love you for this.

      The advice in this section is based on the lived experiences of wikiHow readers like you. If you have a helpful tip you’d like to share on wikiHow, please submit it in the field below.
      • It is always important that you make conversation. You want to be chatty, but not too over the top. Use your manners and try to look good, smart, and clever. Make sure you aren't too opinionated but value others thoughts as much as your own.
      • Don't be too shy! If your hair is covering your face or you're mumbling when you talk, try to speak up and smile at them. If you are looking down or at your phone and frowning, it might give off the wrong impression.
      • Respect their boundaries and decisions. If your friends parents say no to something you do or ask for, respect that decision.
      • Use table manners when dining. Offer to help in the kitchen and put your plate in the sink when you're done eating.
      • After you hang out with them, let them know you had a great time and look forward to seeing them again.
      • Compliment your friends parents. Everyone loves being told how amazing they are.

      Warnings

      • Don't be so perfect that your friend's parents end up lecturing her or him on how they should be more like you.
        Thanks


      • When you are at the door of your friend's house, make sure they invite you in. If your friend does it, wait for his or her parents too say "come in"; don't just walk in after your friend has said it or you will seem rude.
        Thanks
