[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 217212, member: 2459"] We may be THEIR babies but for the love of all that's shiny....we GREW UP!!!! When husband and I got difficult child, granted we were first time parents. Actually , I was...husband had had a step daughter before and was her main caregiver. But still...we had both been around kids before, I used to watch (and still do) dad and step-mom's kids since BIRTH! But you would have thought I was 10 years old on my first babysitting job the way ALL my parents acted. "You're not disciplining enough", "you're too hard on him", "give him some space", "tighten down on the reins", and of course...."WHY is he on all these medications? He's just being a kid". Uh huh...cause all kids rage, lie constantly and steal anything not nailed down. They all throw chairs in class and cuss out the teachers in the 4th grade. Yep....he was just being a kid afterall. What was I thinking??? :slap: Glad you're sticking to your guns. A couple of days may not be long enough but I've done that and it IS a wonderful breather. Enjoy yourself and let Grandma spoil. It's what they (normally) do best! [/QUOTE]
