At least you can be comfortable on your loveseat instead of the computer chair. ;)

Probably better anyway. I bet you will have a better time. Just freeze stuff in smaller quantities and use it later.

I have trained my grandkids that you do no disrespect me or my animals. they get back what they do.
I have started this since she was old enough to know the word NO. she would kick, pull their hair and lay on them the last time was about 4 months ago when she hit my LGD with a switch she got it back. She is 5 she knows better. I have a NO TOLERANCE with hitting my animals. She is the worst the rest of the GKids are great with them. I won't even let her do it to her own animals. I have many of arguments with my kids about how they let her treat their animals.
The kicker is she loves animals. She will learn, unforunately it has been by example. :rant :he :barnie

I like the no kid policy Rolls

Been away for a few days. Just back to BYH. I hear you regarding kids. My kids are all very well behaved, for teh same reason as your daughter. They know I don't tolerate them not.

Bummer of the nephew. Family, you can't pick them.

I saw a doormat once and I asked where they got it because I wanted one. It said "Dogs Welcome, Children must be leashed"

Your house, your rules. It wouldn't have been a good situation for the kids even if you did say yes. I have been to your place and there is just no room. They would want to go outside and you would have to supervise and ruin your day.

I just watched 2 kids running around the sanctuary during mass this morning. They were quiet but come on! If I had done that I would have been standing for the rest of the service. It was boy scout Sunday at church this morning for those of you who know me well enough to wonder what the heck I was doing at mass. Hubby's boy's troop was doing the procession and handing out the doughnuts so we HAD to be there. Don't worry, no lightning bolts this time.

Sorry they bailed. Some people have no manners. This kid has no grounds to criticize anything you have done.

What really annoys me - well, one of the things...is that when I asked if they were coming at 1pm, so I'd know how much food to get, she said they were. Said they'd be here at 5....so we went and got the food at 4 and then it's not until 5:30 that they beg off.
She emailed me later to let me know they'd had a huge fight....I kept my mouth shut, because they just started dating 2 wks ago...but I wanted to tell her to get out while she still can. I have to stay out of it to keep peace in the family...so I'm hoping she figures him out before she gets too involved.

DH said last week, when I suggested we invite them, that his nephew wouldn't come....because we don't have beer. We were surprised when he called and said they'd come to watch half the game, but then he had to go to a bar where he had a bet going. We figured, 'ah well, at least he's going to come.'

Every.single.time. he's been here in almost 20 years (maybe 10 times total) he's in a hurry to go....it hurts my dh's feelings. He WANTS to be close to this guy...it's his only nephew....

39 yrs old, been in jail 15 times. Just got out of prison in Oct. after 1.5 yrs, and off of house arrest in Dec. He's on probation and drinking already...who knows what else.

Yet, he thinks my DH, who's only 5 yrs older than him, is a stick-in-the-mud....he doesn't see how BEING A RESPONSIBLE ADULT means you don't live for the next hangover.

Like I said earlier, in 2009 when my FIL passed away, I bailed his sorry butt out of jail b/c my MIL was upset that he wouldn't be there for his grandpa's funeral....it took me 2 yrs to get the bail money back and I spent every minute of it afraid he'd get caught drunk / go back to jail and I'd lose it.
As soon as that hearing was over, he got caught drinking again and had to go do 'hard time'- as opposed to time in the county lock up.

I could go on and on but I will stop...it's just so infuriating.... *deep cleansing breath*

The Giants won, and you're right....I got to sit in my comfy captain's chair (DH's bff got the lumpy love seat, lol) and we probably had more fun w/out him than we would have with him...

Thanks for listening. :D

People have asked me if their kids can come......I always ask if they are housebroken. Most people take the hint at that.

My brother once brought one of his girlfriends over, with her several "children" (they were really lil monsters", to my NEWLY REDECORATED HOUSE. One of them, a 9 year old, was wearing bright red lipstick. She found it amusing to kiss my freshly painted walls......when I saw what was happening I was less than impressed and told her mother to "deal with it before I did".

So, her mother took her to the bathroom and washed it off. When I went to potty later, I found that she had washed that red lipstick of the childs face using my NEW Creme colored hand towels......TWO of them.
