Subject: RE: Ghoulie August Assatar Challenge- Run or elsewgraves7582 - 2010-08-17 7:57 AM I have a funny story/delima - last night my son goes mom did you talk to dad about the seldens (our youth pastor and his family) yet? She goes no. I look at her and say the kids are not staying with us and I don't care what the circumstances are.
She asked me if I knew already and I said no but I could tell she didn't even want to ask me. I said I have my own kids and I don't play week long babysitter nor do I in turn ask for someone to be a week long babysitter for my kids. If you want to take them on your vacation that is your deal not mine and there will be no reciprocation.
I know the moms in here will disagree with me but I hope to earn the support of the dads and non child bearing Ghoulies!
Tell me I am right - LOL You are too quick to judge, Bill, I am on your side. Watching someone's kid (s ) for a couple of hours is one thing, watching them for a week is another. There are only certain kids that I will let come play at my house, not only because of the kids, but because of the parents themselves. There are rules at my house. If a parent is going to get upset because I expect their kid to follow the rules, I don't let their kids come play. I know which parents will not only allow me to keep their kids in line, but expect it. It also seems those are the better behaved kids. I did let a friend of my sons, and I'm friends with the parents, spend the weekend with us earlier in the summer because the parents were going away. He's a good kid though, and my kids play well with him. I made that offer though, they didn't ask. I don't think there are any kids that I would watch for a week, that even includes my nieces and nephews. |
