This video makes it sound kind of dull 🤣
Oh my gosh! Sounds like my cousin! She would run outside of the doctor’s office when she saw a needle. My aunt couldn’t find her. She was hiding under a stairwell. Hahaha 😂. Oh boy, did she get punished for that, along with the shot that she was afraid of!
Sounds like your grandson knows what he doesn’t want to tolerate!
Guess what? My youngest kid was like that too! Her teachers would tell me that her determination would take her far in life later on.
My response was, well maybe so, but she is driving me crazy now, giving me gray hair and taking years off of my life! Hahaha 😂.
She ended up being a top student because she was so determined in her approach.
She was also very competitive in everything she did, lead roles in drama. She loved being center stage at the theatre camps that she participated in.
She adored the oil paintings on my walls and decided she could do that too! I had to find an art studio for her to attend. When I gave her Crayola water colors to paint with she complained. She won art contests at eight years old, beating out high school kids!
So look out! You’ve got a strong willed grandson with a mind of his own. He’s going to be a leader, not a follower which is a good thing!
That's too funny - "out of the mouths of babes" as they say!
So what will he be like when he IS 40????
The ortho looked, looked at his films and "watchful waiting" was decided upon. Kid gets out of the chair and says "that's IT? We drove half and hour and that's it? Geeeeez....."
8 going on 40, we like to say.
Ahhhh, so similar to me. I adored my MIL. She died far too young, 68.
I struggled for a bazillion years to have a baby. My parents or in-laws never pushed us to have kids. I do see others doing that with their children.
Anyway, we adopted our first daughter, then 7 years later...surprise! I was pregnant! Both of my girls are miracles! All babies are miracles.
My brother’s ex wives remain close to my mom, all three of them! LOL They still send Mother’s Day and birthday cards!
It used to hurt me terribly when people asked, “When are you going to have kids?” I never ask anyone that. No one knows what they are going through. Plus, not everyone chooses to have children and that is perfectly fine.
Yes, but these people are specifically naming their child after the virus. It’s crazy!
Anywho, she kept pushing about grand-children to us. Once I found out I couldn't have any children, the next time she hinted about grand-children, I told her "I hope you love us even if we don't have children". She never mentioned it again.
Even after her son and I divorced [after 20 yrs], his Mom and I were best friends forever until she passed in her 90's. She always brighten my day with her sense of humor.
Funny! It does happen. Some people really get the grandparent bug!
She has a right to be picky! Good for her!
Her current boyfriend’s mom is nice for the most part. She is hoping to have a grandchild though. Hahaha
My daughter broke up with a guy a couple of years ago too because his mom kept interfering and she wasn’t nice! The guy was a jerk! He was looking for a gal to cater to his every whim! That isn’t my daughter!
She wasn’t nice to my daughter because my daughter refused to baby her son like she did!
It’s weird! My daughter’s boyfriend’s mom loves her and keeps asking her son when he will marry her and give her a grandchild!
They both love his mom but laugh at the suggestion of having kids. They don’t even want to get married yet! Hahaha
Some that don’t have a great relationship are splitting up with the strain from Covid.
Others are bonding and having babies during this time! Kind of interesting, isn’t it?
I am always surprised at the number of parents who try to rush their children to get married and have kids. I wouldn’t be comfortable at all telling my daughters to do that so I could have a grandchild.
Some people claim that you are to blame as much as I
Why do you take the trouble to bake my favorite pie?
