dealing with kids
by Guest Sat Jan 17, 2015 1:53 pm
Me: We are meeting grandparents today...
Them: No! We will get bored there.
Me: Oh ya? I never had grandparents growing up. My grandfathers died even before I was born, and grandmothers died by the time I was 11, and I didn't meet them that often. I don't even know what it's like to have grandparents growing up. That's the reason why I had you early, so that you get to experience grandparents. You have a LOT of living/active grandparents. So ya, APPRECIATE IT and MEET them as much as you can.
Daughter: Having grandparents is overrated.
Me: How am I supposed to know that? I never got that.
Son: Oh ya? I have no memory of you two being married! What are you going to do about that?
Me:
Daughter: ooooo *burrrrrn* You have married parents and we don't!
Me (defensively): Why is it such a big deal?
Son: How am I supposed to know that? I never got that. You also have two siblings, we both have only one! What did you do about that?!
Them: No! We will get bored there.

Lol. That's for their dad. Kids know they will get nothing out of me.
The older is fine. Younger is gonna get a pep talk from me soon. Am just preparing what to say without a backlash. I never knew parents can be scared of their kids. Would have used that to the max when I was one. I mean I knew mine were scared of my sis but I didn't realize I can create that equation too.
