grannys gone and done it

they came for the walking dead. it didnt go very good. sil said happy and robert ignored him. robert didnt like the way he talked to me the other day. one of the kids refused to tell robert happy b day and robert would not share his cake with him but he didnt ask either . every one else ate a piece .

Yup. That's the kind of social stuff I was talking about. Makes it hard. My guys have no close young cousins, so we were mostly dealing with adults, and that was hard enough. So much coaching and explanations needed for the simplest things. Chinese grandma was the hardest. Such high expectations. She expected him to sit at the table and listen to the adults talk long after he finished eating. Far too much noise for my child and why torture him for no reason. I would excuse him right away because it broke my heart to see him put his hands over his ears and shut his eyes to try to calm down. Then the long and fruitless explanations that no, he is not being rude, he is just different. I think he was 10 before they finally got it.

support the family, discipline the children (when they needed it) take care of yard and driveway, plus cars. And be the foreman of the jobs the kids had to do.

Im a little confused by all this. I would like to learn more. In my family men are not allowed to discipline the children. that was the moms job. I assumed it was because of too protective mamas and too strong a hand dads. Both parents supported the kids . sometimes moms more then dads. I have always took care of the yard because i like it and tom the dishes and laundry. because thats what he was good at. I would never allow Tom to spank my children and he wouldnt want to. talk to them and say no was fine but not putting his hands on them. I thought there was no gender jobs, just help where you can and when you can. Both my kids have great respect for him.
