[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My own mom would stay in a brothel in vegas if it meant being with her kids for a week. Sorry yours suck.[/quote]

Why do people have kids if they hate them so much? I don't get it. [/quote]

You all are silly.  I love my kids. I plan on being as involved a grandma as I possibly can be.  But when that happens I will not be a young woman anymore.  I will want my own space and I will not want to wait on people hand and foot and spend all of my time babysitting my grandkids.  Watching them for an evening while their parents go out?  Oh, yes.  Absolutely.  Watching them all week while their parents go off and leave me and the kids in the dust?  No.  Not up for that.  And you expect me to pay for that "vacation"?  Ha!

Wow.  I"m so glad I have such fond memories of my grandparents, who did "babysit" us for weeks at a time. They actually liked to spend time with us. They didn't view it as "babysitting" but as spending time with their grandparents.  And, they still traveled on their own to have their free time.

And, there is a medium between one night all "all week", as you are well aware.  But, that would entail a discussion as to what your expectations are with your kids.  Sounds rather difficult for you if you're that testy about a week with your grandchildren. You're a sad person.[/quote]
