Devil child

[rivermom]

I am envious of all those with Grandkids. My husand and I dream of this day having a little one to spoil.

But....now reading some of the stories my mouth opens wide. Especially the story from Lynne B. That has got to be soooo hard on you Lynne, and I am very sorry. You have every right not wanting to be around your G-d's if they are not respectuful.

I remember when my first born was a wee little baby. My parents told me flat out that if their G-son was not going to be good or respectful that he was not going to be allowed around them, etc. (My parents were quite stern)

But...I never forgot that and from day one I made it a point to teach my son to be a good boy, respectful, and enjoyable to be around by others. My son a grown man now and I patiently wait for that special day when he tells me I am going to be a Grandma.

rivermom.... it's not that i dont want to be around them, i miss them something awful. everytime they spent the night when it came time to go to bed (at a respectable time) they would cry and carry on wanting to call mom or dad to come pick them up , i live more then 30 min. away from there home and at 10-11 at night i am not going to have mom or dad come pick them up, so they just fussed themselves to sleep and boy can that get to you when your tired . mom and dad let them stay up till they drop. SIL's mom only lives about 10 min from them and she will take them home if they want no matter what time it is. like i said SIL has alot to do with this because he was raised to do whatever he wanted and his mother still lets him do it and is now raising the girls the sameway. but my daughter is just as much at fault for letting it go on. i love my grand-d's but wont let them run me around like they do their parents so they dont like to stay here anymore. i guess i am just a mean grandma.

sorry tink i didnt mean to hijack your thread , i can really feel for you though.

I don't feel setting limits is being mean at all.

Thanks all. I enjoyed reading your stories too.

My daughter and son in law are strict with the girls. I really can't blame the lack of discipline for the way my little devil child acts. She's just WAY too energetic and doesn't seem to realize yet that others have feelings too. I really hope she outgrows this stage, 'cause she's simply exhausting to be around.

Make sure they cut out the sugar and then just wear the little dickens out...LOL I've seen on different talk shows that food can play a big part in how children act. Maybe worth looking at....
