Tell Us Something Really Trivial About Your Life (Vol 31)
Discussion
Still in Devon.
Heard from my Welsh contingent though, my eldest lad and his mob. Last weekend he needed to be somewhere important. With his mates in a pub with a telly probably, watching the rugby. This would have left my daughter in law with their three lads. So she arranged for the eldest, aged 6, to stay with his granddad. Not me, the Welsh one. He was okay with the arrangement as long as he could watch the rugby. So No.1 Welsh grandson went to stay with his Welsh granddad with his mum's iPad to keep him amused. How long is the rugby on the telly? A couple of hours? The little lad was lovely and quiet for the whole duration. And only spent £20,000 on Amazon. Four of everything: four iPads, four Kindles, four Echo (one of each generation and one with a screen), loads of stuff. Had a lovely time with granddad.
"What did you do?"
"Spent most of Saturday night trying to get it all cancelled."
"How were Amazon?"
"Not very professional."
"In what way?"
"Bloke was pissing himself laughing."

fortunately our grand daughter is only interested in youtube, if she ever utters the word Amazon, our ipad is off limits indefinitely 
as I lie in bed looking at the curtains it would appear to be a bright sunny day outside!!!glenrobbo said:
It was sunny oop norf for all.of 45 seconds, now it's chucking it down again. 
The rain is rattling on the windows like grape shot!
Or it may be gooseberries. They look similar but aren't as sweet.
Not too bad down here at the moment, bit breezy but otherwise dry.The rain is rattling on the windows like grape shot!

Seems that because my youngest step daughter is here, our grand daughter has decide that she is going to have an attitude again. So she has had a time out and i have now taken the ipad off her and she doesnt get youtube for the rest of today.
At last the rain has stopped.
It has decided to turn instead to sleet/hail/lethal ice particles propelled by a hellish gale.
Lovely weather for a sunday stroll.
That bird is no longer singing ( or screaming.) Poor little bugger.
If this keeps up much longer, I may have to turn the heating on. I am running out of cardigans.

Ah yes, the petulant strop. 
Always a sure-fire winner. ( They imagine! )
Wonder why they get all uppity when it backfires?
She is currently trying to win a battle of wills over taking a whole packet of wet wipes because her baby - her doll - fell off her bed. She thinks that if she keeps shouting louder, grand dad will give in and she can have it.Always a sure-fire winner. ( They imagine! )

What she doesn't realise is that grand dad, amongst other things, is a pedantic old bugger and will keep this up until her mum comes to pick her up about 8 tonight.
At least she isn't watching youtube i suppose.

Stick in there slopes, don't show any fear, they can smell fear and will feed off it!!! 
I'm toying with the idea of going postal just to make a point and my step kids all know if i go postal to avoid me like the plague's older grumpier brother. this one thinks she can do what she wants, mainly because mummy and daddy give in to her for a quiet lifeNothing to do with daddy only wanting anything to do with her when people are about and he can look the doting father when in reality he doesn't give a s
tNothing to do with mummy only liking babies and now she is developing a character she isn't interested.
Apparently this makes me cynical and i should stop it according to Lady Slopes, despite me pointing out the facts of how they are taking the piss out of us yet again.
I know i shouldn't let irritability and anger win but sometimes it's fun to let your inner angry chimp out to lay a marker in the sand.

Sometimes you just have to show where the boundaries are, regardless of age and gender. We Don't have children so I'm probably not realistic in my attitude, however, I feel that children are given far too much freedom and allowed to get away with far too much. It appears to me that parents control their kids with electronics and not by engaging with them.
