Ranting and Raving

This afternoon my daughter decided to take her son outside with her for a bit. Well her bit amounted to about five minutes, where she then brought a crying Calvin in. He wanted to stay outside and couldn't understand why mom brought him in after five minutes. I was busy with her other son, 3 months old....and asked her to take him back out for a bit, she then proceeded to drag him out by his shirt. I walked out about two minutes later, he was trying to be a sport....trying to play...but had tears dripping down his sweet little face. How can she be like this???

I understand your frustration. my daughter would rather sit on our front porch with her teenage friends laughing and watch her son at the door crying because he wants to be outside and I may have something else going on at the moment. sorry for you, sorry for the baby, but more sorry for the moms who miss out on the miracle of life.

My daughter is the same way. Lazy! They're not to lazy to run around with their worthless buddies, but to lazy to play with their own children. Sad, sad, sad!

Oh so sad that these moms are so darn selfish and don't want to take time to play with their own children. Poor Baby!!! My daughter would rather play on the computer then pay any attention to her son. Anger sme to no end. Like granmakaikai said it's their loss!!!!!

Wrap up the 3 month old and just go outside with both of them. After being cooped up all winter, they both can have some fresh air.

As far as your daughter, how old is she? Is there a park nearby where all four of you can go? Try to show her how it should be done. It may or may not work. But at least then you know you have done all you can.

Good luck!

How old is your daughter? I remember when my daughter was 16 when her son was born, she was awful. She tried to sit him in a high chair alone to feed himself while she slept on the couch, she ignored him while she talked on the phone, and once slapped him across the face when he took a slice of bread to eat because he was hungry. Once, when he was about 18 months old, a neighbor brought him to the door because she found him wandering down the middle of the street while my daughter and her friend were adjusting the stereo in her car. But, those are some of the reasons that he is with me instead of her.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
