In my house, they eat what I cook or they starve. After a day, they eat. The first day they stick out their lower lip and stare at ugly things like roast chicken and fresh green beans and carrots and mashed potatoes. My grandkids didn't even know what potatoes were -thought I was peeling apples. Apples? Are you serious?<BR/><BR/>Twins - two years old. My patience level is non-existent. Had them last weekend. One of them was sick with 102º fever. Not the cute sick where they want to cuddle and sleep - the squirmy, whiney, crying, fussy, restless sick. I could not wait for Mom to show up. <BR/><BR/>Know what you mean though. My head would definitely explode if I tried to do it beyond a 3 day stretch.brneyedgal967https://www.blogger.com/profile/05818759170547148938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8279457769509734031.post-15301607532638515652008-10-13T21:58:00.000-07:002008-10-13T21:58:00.000-07:00OMg you tried, it's hard to re-enter motherhood.

That is why we are made to be grandparents at this age....not parents again! Wish you all the best and I don't want a prize, I have a great one as a sister...you! Wish you all the best and I am making your carrot cake tonight for Lions club. Yummo!!

We had a major melt down in Old Navy as I was trying to buy her some clothes. I picked her screaming writhing snot spewing body up off the floor and carried her potato sack style out the door into the van and had my own meltdown. I don't want to be the "mean" grandma. I want to be the fun one.Gladyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871936987053625828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8279457769509734031.post-68814928422010980392008-10-13T04:11:00.000-07:002008-10-13T04:11:00.000-07:00Girlfriend, I'm right there with you.
