[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 571540, member: 1514"] Okay I am back. I am going to speak as a grandparent who has been in the picture of two of my grandchildren's lives for the most part of their lives. The other two, well I dont see them often. I have been both a parent and a grandparent to two of my grandchildren. I love them dearly. I spoil them to death. Believe me my oldest granddaughter has tried to triangulate us all. I will never forget one day when I had her in her car seat and wouldnt do something for her...I cant remember what, it was something little...and she said she was going to tell her mommy, her daddy, her grandma Linda, her papa, her uncle Billy, her uncle Jamie, her aunt Billie, etc. She went through every member of her family that she was going to tell and I just kept saying...go ahead after each one and telling her that they would agree with me. She got more and more irritated with me. She finally said...well...thats not fair that everyone will say the same thing. I said well honey, the rules are the same everywhere. We all back each other up with whatever one of us says goes. Im not gonna change what grandma linda tells you and she isnt gonna change what I tell you. so sorry. I asked her, would you want me to go over to grandma linda's house and tell her you cant watch TV after she said you could? Same works here, she isnt going to come to my house and change what I tell you. She got real quiet and said...well that sounds fair. LOL. I back up Cory with his kids but Im also allowed to spoil his kids to my hearts content. I would never walk into the middle of a time where they were being punished and attempt to take them anywhere. If I had been bringing those shoes over, I would have handed them to the mother/father out of sight of the child and the parent could give them to the child after the incident was over. [/QUOTE]
