wgraves7582 - 2010-08-17 8:07 AM Thanks Nekkid - and to top it off my son doesn't even like the boy and the girl is 5 grades below my daughter so there will be no commonality there either.

My final comment was - it is time for grandma and grandpa to step up to the plate. I am not interested.

I ABSOLUTELY wouldn't do it then. If the kids got along that would be one thing, but kids rarely get along when stuck together for a week. If the kids don't get along then it would be a definite NO for me.

I finished all my work for the next 2 weeks last week - why do I need to stay at work then??????

To keep me company, and to earn some $$!

No problem keeping you company - but my hours are already billed out so why can't I just stay home and do nothing instead of having to come to work and do nothing?????

I dunno. Would you like me to write a strongly worded letter with exclaimation points and a liberal use of underlining to your company?

wgraves7582 - 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.

Bill, it is totally your call to make. For me, it would depend on my relationship with the parents and the circumstances. Two years ago my BF won a trip to Italy. Her parents weren't able to take her 12 yo daughter that week, so I did. Had a great time. I've also kept my niece for long weekends. I think that since I don't have kids, it doesn't feel like an imposition as long as it works with my schedule.

That said, you shouldn't feel bad about saying no.

Ok, it would be no for sure under these circumstances.

When do I get to come stay for a long weekend? I'm pretty self sufficient, and don't need MUCH supervision.

I'll keep that in mind next April for the Unite HM. I doubt I am going to be able to do Pittsburgh next May. They moved the date and it is the same weekend my brother is getting married. I'm guessing I'll have to go to the wedding. Since I can't do PGH, I definitely want to do Unite!

I'll try to remember to send you the name and address of our hotel in D.C. soon, too. I need to find the email first.

I definitely wanted to do a race in the spring. I worked hard to get to the point I could run these distances, I don't want to lose it. By spring I'm hoping to be able to run a really good race!

There is an All Hands meeting up in the other building. Guess who is NOT there!

They are totally worthless. It is a waste of my time to sit in a meeting where the govies are praised and the contractors are criticized. Guess who actually does the work. The last meeting the IA deptartment was given awards because the number of vulnerabilities on the network has dropped considerably recently. The IA department has absolutely nothing to do with the work, they just report the numbers. The people in my area, myself included, are the ones who make those numbers go down. No one mentioned us.

Only 2 more hours until I get to get out of here for the day!

Sounds about right for the good old USA Government employees!!! Take credit even when it is not due - someone needs to be recognized!

You would think someone in that department would stand up and say - umm guys we actually did nothing to make that number drop - it was the other guys and they deserve the credit!

No, I don't expect that from them at all, even though it would be the right thing to do. The come in, get everyone all riled up, then walk away from the situation, they don't actually do any of the work. The server team and I are working on a big project, that in a minor way involves them, but we will do all the work. The IA team took over the meetings and started setting deadlines and such. It irritated me that they were setting the deadlines when they had absolutely no idea what work was involved in the process. Grrrr!

Bill--your call. My parents definately wouldn't have taken 2 other kids for a week if we wern't friends. We had billets a few times with swimming for a few days and that was fine but my parents said no a few times too. Personally, I was never big into baby-sitting. I only ever baby sat my brother and I probably did a few things that would be perceived as evil to him! Haha.
