[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 287529, member: 1233"] Janet don't you DARE start yet. You need to live to a ripe old age!!! Don't plan to start going yet, for Christmas sake!! I think that each of us has certain parts that become stronger as we age. My mom is much crankier now on many many things. My dad is far more easy going than he ever was. My bro can call ANYTIME and get instant babysitting, same for his ex (they only have 1 child together and her other 2 kids are grown. They moved out in their teens because gfgbro was trying to parent them". I can call and plan a day ahead of time for the kids to go over to my parents. But my niece is ALWAYS there. For the last six months it has happened every single time. Once they scheduled an overnight and she crashed it! But he always has some drama and conflama going on. The ONE thing my dad is crankier about is fire. He is always going on that if the hair dryer or any other electric device other than the tv and computers is on then the "house will burn down". I swear in a few years he won't let mom turn on the lights. Once I was in the attic of the house he grew up in. Now I know why he is that way. His dad wired most of the house. My aunt has done a major addition and remodel and ended up having to rewire every outlet and light switch in the place because it was SOOOO far out of code. It really IS a wonder the house didn't burn down. So we pamper him on this one thing. the rest makes my mom cranky. [/QUOTE]
