You are too old for that?


Re: You are told for that?

I'm not saying on a monthly basis. LOL Once a year most grandparents would love it. I know my mom does.

It depends on where you live too. If my wife and I have kids, we are out of luck up here but if we lived at home, I don't see any reason why we can't go where we want. My family is just that...a family. I can't think of a mother or father in my family who can't do what they want based on kids...that includes anything from going to college to got out to the club or away for the weekend. My aunts, uncles, etc... pretty much all love kids and they never give the mothers and fathers in my family any grief over keeping kids.

Now, they ain't too keen on keeping your kids for the purpose of you going to lay up with different people every chance you get but if you have something to do, you ain't gotta worry about your kids.
 



Re: You are told for that?

I'm not a big fan of dumping kids off on the grandparents. I can see doing that for a trip that would really be a one-on-one thing (second honeymoon, etc.), but I can see where resentment or other issues can kick in if we made that a habit.

You make it sound as if a vacation is a bi-weekly or monthly thing. I'm glad his Dad, my Mom, sisters, and his other grandparents don't mind taking care of him while I am gone on vacation or anywhere else for that matter.
 
Re: You are told for that?

I know a woman back home who is like 45-50. She has been married for like 30 years...her kids are grown and she has grandkids but her husband been cheatin on her for that whole 30 years and she been fighting other women that whole time. As recently as two weeks ago, her husband's newest woman had to put in a restraining order on her because she kept turning up everywhere the woman and her husband was.

She too old for that!

Nah, that ain't about age. She's just stupid and has been since Day 1 of acceptance of her husband cheating and fighting the wrong person.

Many of our grandmothers and mother's accepted their hubby cheating. Lets be honest. My grandfather was a rolling stone.

It ain't about being honest either. Still stupid, especially to fight other women over a man who cheats. The battle is with the WRONG PERSON!

yeah, now that is ignorant. I find chicks like that lack self esteem.

Unfortunately, there are some dudes doing it also. You would be surprised at the amount of men raising someone eles child his wife had, that he knows i not his, but will raise it anyway.......... They don't say "Momma's baby, daddies maybe for nothing"........

well hell, how often would one be going on vacation? If the grandparents is not an option, something is wrong.

We may be talking about a different set of values with our grandparents generation.

My grandfather was a rolling stone too, but my grandmother was in no way naive, stupid or lacked self-esteem. Nor was the cheating "accepted". Divorce just wasn't as acceptable in her generation and there may have been a religious connotation also.

My Grandmother wasn't either. I think it was simply a matter of economics and mindsets with their generation. My grandmother had 12 children and no job for the most part. How was she going to survive if she left?

I would think even a couple of times a year may even be a stretch, especially while they are very young. Since my mother and her husband aren't close to retirement age, that would mean that they would end up having to drag the kid to day care and then rush home from work to pick him up when they didn't necessarily sign up for that. I'm sure they wouldn't mind a weekend or two, but I can see where any real vacations during the week could cause a problem.

You'll be surprised to find out how good grandparents are at making time for their grandkids.

Re: You are told for that?

Nah.

My parents enjoy their empty nest. They like their freedom to go and come as they please. They might want to go on vacation too. :lol:

They like the grandkids and all, but take those little bad arses with you. They've never said that, but I think that's the way they feel. :lol:

Your mother is an old person now trying to get into Heaven. That is why she's doing more with your kid than she did with you.
 
Re: You are told for that?

I'm never too old to play. I love to play. :lol:

I'm the first one outside with the kids.
