OTHER PEOPLES ANNOYING CHILDREN..
Okay let me start out by saying that I love children...most children..well I guess I LOVE them all just don't LIKE some..I have four of my own, 2 daughters and 2 sons..boy girl boy girl..okay great..I have seven grandchildren which are the lights of my life..everyone of them is well mannered, well behaved..rarely do the brothers and sisters fight each other..of course there are occasions where that"s not true..saying all this to get to my point..I have been staying here with my daughter for over a month now..for no other reason than because my house is so big and lonely and I am a great help to her and she is a great help to me..she is a single parent ..although her childrens father comes around occassionally to take them for new sneakers or to take them to lego land or a place called Dave and Busters which is an large glorified Chuck E. Cheese..that's a whole other blog and story in itself..so on with my rant..each morning around 7:45 my daughters friends children come to my daughters house because their mom has to go to work and Jeanell (my daughter) takes her kids and her friends kids to school a little after 8...and like I said I LOVE children..I would even go so far as to say I LOVE these two..a girl which is the oldest(9) and this annoying little boy (6)..the minute they walk through the door it starts..my grandchildren are just rolling out of their beds and these other two are already at it..they constantly fight..no matter what the sister says the brother has to dispute it..If she said the sky is blue he would dispute that..his little voice is so irritating to make matters even worse...their mother knows they act like this because one will tell on the other..and they get butt whoopings..not beatings..but they get whoopings and get grounded and things taken from them..I know this..they are warned to be on their best behavior when they come to my daughters house in the morning..their grandmother is in Texas and they miss her immensely..so I try to give them some grandmotherly love..I try to talk to them about how God gave them each other and they shouldn't fight so much and love one another..I told them that when they do that whether home or at my daughters house that they set the mood for the day.....do they hear me ? YES..do they care? apparently not because 3 minutes later they are arguing over something else..right now at home they are on punishment for arguing..no tv for a week..the little boy told me I don't know whey ..we didn't fight at all last night..I said but you are on punishment for arguing the night before ..so you shouldn't have argued last night..I try I swear I do..I give them examples and life lessons I learned along the way..but ya know what I can't save the world..but my daughter can stop them from coming to her home in the morning and getting her kids days started on the wrong foot..her kids are always telling them to stop and its just not a good way to wake up and start your day..so off th school they just went and the house is quiet..and I am waiting for my daughter to bring me my hot tea from wither WAWA or Dunkin donuts and a breakfast sandwhich..that's what I want today and damn I deserve it..well folks until tomorrow...another day..yikes..okay summer is almost here..lol

what a busy home - you are so lucky to be that close to spend time with your grandkids!
ReplyDeletePut them in the get along shirt! My 4 yr old and 6 yr old are the same way and I tell them to work it out on their own! They either get put in the corner or have something taking away. If it gets to far I threaten the get along shirt and then it ends.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear your enjoying it. I see my mom and grandma about once a year and it is not enough!
Children learn from their surroundings. My guess is that they see this at home. Just love them while when they visit and hopefully some of your manners will rub off on them.
ReplyDeleteThat would be so hard to put up with. I agree, they model what they see. I'm so thankful for my peaceful home.
ReplyDeleteThat is so true they learn from example
ReplyDeleteGracious!
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to these two.
